Alfa Laval Unique RV-ST Safety Valve

Unique RV-ST is the third generation of Alfa Laval single seat regulating valves designed to meet the highest process demands of hygiene and safety. Built on a well-proven, platform from an installed base of more than one million valves, it is ideal for high volume, sanitary liquid processing applications where precision control of flow rate or pressure is required.

Working principle

The valve is remote-controlled by a digital electro-pneumatic process controller. It has few and simple moveable parts which results in a very reliable valve.
