Mixproof Butterfly Valves T-smart 9

The Mixproof Butterfly Valve T-smart 9 offers an interesting valve variant for the mixproof separation of media. Highly functional, CIP/SIP-enabled and easy to service, this valve supplies continuous safety to production processes.

T-smart 9 Butterfly Valve Intermediate Flange Variant with Manual Actuator

In addition to the main opening, the rotating valve disk enforces the mechanical opening or closing of drain ports, depending on the valve position. This minimizes switching losses and ensures the functionality of four valve disks – without further actuation – and the need of the corresponding control system. The Mixproof Butterfly Valves T-smart 9 are characterized by their hygienic design without dome and sump, offering all before mentioned advantages. T-smart mixproof butterfly valves are available in sizes DN 50 - DN 100 and 2"OD – 4"OD, with manual actuation device and pneumatic actuator.

Mixproof separation

Mixproof separation of the two product areas, when the valve disk is closed, is achieved through two peripheral sealing edges with the leakage cavity between them.

The leakage cavity itself drains automatically and is designed in such a way that it can be flushed, from one drain port to the other, without dead areas or short-cuts. With little resources applied, products are successfully and completely flushed out, for optimum cleanability.

Application examples

CIP systems
Flush-out processes
Water management
Use as CIP return valve in a valve matrix

Pneumatic Actuators

For narrow mounting situations and low air consumption the pneumatic actuators have been made even more compact.

The gap-free design ensures optimum cleanability and fulfils highest demands to hygiene.

Torque maxima towards both end positions enable application on both normally closed and normally open valves. Metallic stops ensure exact disk positioning. There are air-to-spring and air-to-air variants.

The integrated T.VIS® interface also safely accommodates optional accessories – booster cylinder, two-position stop and limit stop. The internal pneumatic system reduces the risk of failures, being without external tubing.

All actuators are by default applicable for Ex zones. Compliance of any electric accessories with Ex regulations must be ensured.
