Alfa Laval LKD and LKDC tank covers

Alfa Laval tank covers provide openings for convenient visual inspection or entry to tank interiors, meeting requirements in the dairy, food, pharmaceutical, beverage and home-personal industries.

The covers securely fit the openings of high-, low- or non-pressure tanks, both above and below the liquid level, with two models available for hygienic purposes. The oval-shaped Alfa Laval LKD tank cover is made from stainless steel and is suitable for tanks or containers in various hygienic industries. For inspection purposes, the cover can be turned into the tank. For personnel entry, the cover can either be removed at the double hinge or swung out of the tank. The seal is hygienically positioned and is not affected by positive or negative pressure in the tank.

The Alfa Laval LKDC tank cover is also constructed from stainless steel and is supplied with a replaceable, self-sealing double lip seal to prevent fluids from spraying out during CIP cleaning or similar processes. The small and mid-sized LKD and LKDC inspection ports and the larger personnel entry ports are approved in compliance with the American 3-A Sanitary Standard and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Declaration of Conformity. 3.1 Material Certification, in accordance with EN 10204, is also supplied with the covers.

The tank covers are available in AISI 304 or AISI 316L stainless steel with EPDM, NBR, FPM or Q (silicone) seal materials. Surface finishes include electro-polished, brushed and acid pickled, ranging from Ra 0.8 to Ra 0.4 to meet requirements of hygienic processes.
