2.1 Unpacking/delivery
Step 1
Tranport
The valve is only to be transported using appropriate loading
means:
Do not drop the valve and handle it carefully. Unpack it and
then read this manual.
The valve is packed in a recyclable cardboard box.
Step 2
Delivery and performance
CAUTION! Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect unpacking.
Check the goods for completenes and damage immediately upon receipt.
The scope of delivery is apparent from the dispatch documents and the
design from the order number.
Step 3
Storage
Store the valve dry in its original packaging. Avoid UV rays and direct sun
irradiation. The maximum storage temperature is +40C.
2. Installation
Return to menu
2. Installation
Step 2
Installation of valve body:
- Ensure that the plant is depressurized and completely
drained.
- Decontaminate the plant, wash it out and ventilate it.
Pay special attention to:
-
Vibrations
Thermal expansion of the tubes
Excessive welding
Overloading of pipelines
Step 3
Installation of Aseptic Diaphragm Valve differs dependent on
the body:
Threaded connections/clamp connection:
Install the valve in the state it is delivered in:
- Screw the threaded connections into the piping
according to valid norms.
- When assembling the clamp connectors, insert the
respective gasket between body and piping connector
and join the with a clamp.
Dependent on the inteded use and the threaded connection
type, use appropriate seal material (seal material and clamp
are not included in the delivery!).
Butt weld spigots:
NOTE! Disassemble the actuator before welding the body into
the pipeline. The disassembly is described in chapter 4.
Orbital welding process is recommended.

2. Installation
Step 4
Connecting the control air
Assemble the control air lines tension-free and without any bends or knots!
Thread size of the control air connections:
For air control connections, connect the control air line to the following connectors:
Control function 1 (NC): Connect the control air line to the lower connector.
Control function 2 (NO): Connect the control air line to the upper connector.
Control function 3 (A/A): Connection of the control air line to the
- upper connector: to close
- lower connector: to open
Use appropriate connectors acording to the application.

3. Operation
3.1 Operation
Step 1
Step 2
Delivery condition of the valve:
- With control function 1 (NC): Closed
- With control function 2 (NO): Open
- With control function 3 (double acting): Undefined
Check valve tightness and function before using caustic process media!
NOTE! When cleaning the pipe system using causitc the plant operator is responsible for selecting the caustic media and
carrying out the process.
Step 3
Service and maintenance notes
Seals and diaphragms sink in the course of time. Before
operating the valve, check the tightness of the bolts and nuts
on the body and re-tighten if necessary (following operation
or, with CIP systems, at the latest after the first sterilisation
process).
CAUTION!
An even compression of the diaphragm according to the
general information for elastomers (visual checking) and
expert tightening of the connecting bolts.

3.2 Troubleshooting
3. Operation
If the plant is new or after repairs, wash out the piping system with the valve fully open in order to remove any impurities.
NOTE! Study the maintenance instructions carefully before replacing worn parts, see section 4.1.

3. Operation
Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings!
NaOH = Caustic Soda.
HNO3 = Nitric acid.
Step 1
Caustic danger!
Always use
rubber gloves!
Always use
protective goggles!
Step 2
Burning danger!
Never touch the valve or the pipelines when sterilizing.
Step 3
Clean the plug and the seats correctly.
Pay special attention to the warnings!
Step 4
Examples of cleaning agents:
Use clean water, free from chlorides.
= Cleaning agent.
Return to menu
Step 5
1. Avoid excessive concentration of the cleaning agent
Dose gradually!
2. Adjust the cleaning flow to the process
Milk sterilization/viscous liquids
Increase the cleaning flow!
3. Always rinse well with clean water after the cleaning.
Step 6
NOTE!
The cleaning agents must be stored/disposed of in
accordance with current rules/directives.

All scrap must be stored/disposed of in accordance with
current rules/directives.
Step 2
Burning

Step 3
Never stick your fingers through the valve ports or touch the
moving parts if the actuator is supplied with compressed air.
Cutting
danger!
Step 4
-
If carrying out servicing work, check the corresponding items for corrosion, wear and tear and replace them as
necessary (only use genuine Alfa Laval spare parts).
The diaphragm is an elastomer with specific settling behaviour. For this reason it is necessary for the user
to check tightness and correct position of the diaphragm regularly and, if necessary, to re-tighten the bolting
between valve body and actuator.
When repairing and replacing parts, only use appropriate tools and genuine Alfa Laval spare parts, even in
emergencies. Observe the mounting instructions for spare parts.
NOTE!
- When ordering spare parts, always state the complete order number of the valve.
- Mount the spare parts according to the enclosed operating or assembly instructions.

Step 4
Mounting an EPDM/PTFE bonded diaphragm with
threaded pin (seat size 10)
- Screw diaphragm clockwise tightly into the
compressor manually
- Check if the diaphragm boss fits closely in the
recess of the compressor
- If it is difficult to screw it in, check the thread,
exchange damaged parts
- When clear resistance is felt, turn back the
diaphragm counterclockwise until its bolt
holes are in correct alignment with the bolt holes
of the actuator.
Step 5
If the diaphragm is not screwed into the adapter far enough,
the closing force is transmitted directly onto the threaded pin
and not via the compressor. This will cause damage and early
failure of the diaphragm and thus leakage of the valve.
If the diaphragm is screwed in too far no perfect sealing at
the valve seat will be achieved and the function of the valve
is no longer ensured.
Step 6
NOTE! Incorrectly mounted diaphragm may cause valve
leakage/emission of product.
