SPX FLOW D4 Series of mixproof hygienic valves

SPX FLOW has launched a range of mixproof hygienic valves, the D4 Series, from APV and Waukesha Cherry-Burrell process technologies. Used to separate dissimilar products, the series is designed to offer production flexibility, productivity and reduced product and personnel risk across the food and beverage, dairy, personal care and brewing process industries.

The valves are balanced for dependable operation against pressure spikes and flow in any direction. They have automated processing with the option of a control unit with integrated seat lift detection and no external sensors. Maintenance is optimised as no compressed air or lifting tools are required for removal and service. They help reduce inventory costs as the same seal kit is used across multiple valve sizes.

The complete range includes the primary D4 model, which meets the basic needs for product separation and seat lift (SL) or non-seat lift (NSL) cleanability, and the DA4 ultrahygienic model for critical applications requiring enhanced cleanability of all product contact surfaces.

The series offers customers dependable processing, cleanability and minimised CIP fluid losses.
