摘要:
A valve device for controlling flow of a sterile fluid production material (20) from a supply pipe (20) to a delivery pipe (6) comprises a first valve (1) having a first valve member (1a) for opening and closing a flow path from said supply pipe (11), a second valve (2) coaxial with said first valve (1) and having a second valve member (2a) for opening and closing a flow path into said delivery pipe (6), a chamber (5) formed between said first and second valves (1,2) and a steam inlet pipe (3) and steam outlet pipe (4) connected at opposite sides to said chamber (5) substantially at right angles to the common axis of said valves (1,2) for conducting a flow of steam through said chamber (5) for cleaning and sterilizing said valve members (1a,2a) when in the closed position. When using the valve in a device to feed sterile fluid production material (20) to processing stages said steam inlet pipe (3) of the valve device (A) is connected to a steam source (31) through a first steam valve (13), said steam outlet pipe (4) is connected to a discharge
摘要:
Piston units with rolling membrane are used for the handling of liquid products which require good hygiene, e.g. foodstuffs such as milk products. In a piston unit used as a pressure-compensating device pressure variations in a product line are dampened in that the side of the piston (6) remote from the product line (5) is subjected to a variable air pressure. Rolling membranes (7,8) are positioned on both sides of the piston and enclose between them a chamber (13) which is connected to a source of vacuum (14) so as to secure contact of the membranes with the piston. The vacuum is distributed in the chamber (13) with the help of a vacuum line (15) with enlarged outlet area, and is distributed over the end faces of the piston (6) by means of a network of ducts (19,20) in the piston.
摘要:
Valves used in lines for liquids containing particles may on occasion be prevented by particles adhering between the head and the seat of the valve from assuming a fully closed position. This is prevented by making the valve head (4) capable of turning or rotating in respect of the seat (8), as a result of which obstructing particles can, by turning of the valve head, be cut off, crushed or by other means rendered harmless so that the valve can be fully closed.
摘要:
Aseptic constant flow valves to be used, for example, in the dairy industry should be readily washable and allow sterilization by means of conventional washing and sterilizing agents. A valve which fulfils these requirements comprises an operating chamber with inlet and outlet which is connected to the valve housing and therefore can be circulation-washed and sterilized together with the latter.
