Valves ideal for CIP applications

The D600 series of double-seat stainless-steel valves are ideal for applications where the secure separation of incompatible fluids in processing plants is mandatory.

The D600 series of double-seat stainless-steel valves from Sudmo UK are ideal for applications where the secure separation of incompatible fluids in processing plants is mandatory.

The valves offer the hygienic and aseptic processor the capabilities to establish automated multiple routings with absolute confidence.

The Sudmo double-seat technology guarantees that all process and cleaning fluids in complex routing systems remain separated even in the event of seal failures.

The D600 series have a one-piece precision machined body made from a single piece of high grade nonporous stainless steel.

They feature a low number of product contact seals in the product area that can be replaced simply and expediently.

The seal materials can withstand sterilizing temperatures up to 150C.

The D600 valves are particularly suited for applications that require simultaneous filling, emptying and cleaning of storage or process vessels.

A valve matrix can be designed to allow automatic routing from a number of vessels to multiple pipelines by passing liquids through both the upper and lower ports of individual valves.

The space between the seats is open to atmosphere, which, in the event of seal failure, establishes a preferential flow to the outside.

The valves meet all relevant approval requirements for use in the pharmaceutical, brewing, dairy, food and beverage industries.

Valves can be supplied with a variety of control and position feedback options with either pneumatic or electrical actuation.

This flexibility ensures effective automation and monitoring of production processes with the utmost reliability and integrity.

Their modular design means that they can be modified to accommodate updated future requirements.

In addition to supplying components, Sudmo can also provide multiple valve assemblies pre-mounted and fully interconnected on skid assemblies in order to minimise installation time.

Inlets and outlets can be varied from simple in/out up to four-way combinations, depending on the application requirements.

Sudmo UK provides comprehensive installation and service support throughout the UK, and technical support is also available via the company's main manufacturing plant in Germany.
