LKB UltraPure
Safeguard the integrity of your processing fluids with the Alfa Laval LKB UltraPure, a hygienic butterfly valve for high-purity applications. This inline shutoff valve, with its substantial opening area, promotes the free flow of low- and medium-viscosity fluids through piping systems. Suitable for the homecare, personal care, pharmaceutical and many other industries, it enhances product safety and system performance and increases production uptime.
Safe, efficient flow of high-purity, low- and medium-viscosity fluids through piping systems
- Ensure high-efficiency flow of low and medium-viscosity products
- Maximize uptime thanks to fast, economical maintenance
- Mitigate safety risks due to the Alfa Laval Q-doc documentation package for full transparency of sourcing, production and supply chains
- Minimize installation time and space with easy inline mounting and straightforward piping connections
- Meet current Good Manufacturing Practices and special requirements for surface finishes, material traceability and elastomers
Let the Alfa Laval LKB UltraPure butterfly valve efficiently route high-purity fluids through piping systems without compromising product quality. Fluids flow easily through the low restriction valve due to high Kv values. Like all Alfa Laval UltraPure products, this hygienic inline butterfly valve simplifies validation procedures and provides total peace of mind due to the Alfa Laval Q-doc documentation package. Maintenance is effortless; only a single wear part requires replacement at scheduled service intervals.
Optional valve sensing and control units enable quick auto setup and unmatched control of processing lines. Use the LKB UltraPure in combination with the Alfa Laval ThinkTop V50 and V70 pulse seat clean function to reduce energy, water and cleaning media costs further.
How does the LKB UltraPure Valve work
Construction
The valve consists of two valve body halves, valve disc, bushings for the disc stem and seal ring. The valve is assembled by means of screws and nuts.
Operating principle
The standard Tri-Clover LKB UltraPure butterfly valve range is designed either for automatic or manual operation.
Automatic operation
The automated LKB UltraPure butterfly valve is controlled from remote location by means of compressed air using a pneumatic actuator. The actuator controls the axial movement of a piston, which rotates the shaft 90°. The torque exerted by the actuator increases when the valve disc contacts the valve sealing ring, to ensure effective closing. The actuator is available in three standard versions: normally closed (NC), normally open (NO) and air/air activated (A/A).
Manual operation
The Tri-Clover LKB UltraPure butterfly valve is controlled manually by means of a handle. The handle mechanically locks the valve in its open or closed position. A two-position, four-position, regulating 90° or lockable multi-position handle is available. The handle is fitted on to the valve by means of a cap/block system and a screw and can be supplied with either welding or clamp connections.
