Two-in-One High Containment Valve Guarantees Safe Transfer of Active Products
The TWINVALVE is a simple and reliable solution for the high containment handling of powders, granules, tablets and capsules. It can be used as a standard butterfly valve on bins, and can be easily retrofitted on existing powder handling plants, allowing containment during powder transfer and high flexibility.
The TWINVALVE system has a simple design based on the combination of two independent sanitary butterflys; one positioned on the loading/discharge port of the container/bin and the other on the loading/receiving station. The valve on the container is a standard sanitary butterfly valve, while the other one is a sanitary butterfly valve fully integrated in a cylindrical mini hopper.
TWINVALVE is equipped with a patented cleaning spray head assembled inside the active part of the valve. This head is telescopic and is extracted only during the cleaning phase, while during the standard product transfer operations it remains on its site.
The intermediate chamber between the two valves can be cleaned by compressed air, water or solvent and/or steam, allowing the processing of a wide range of active products. During the cleaning phase, this chamber is kept on negative pressure conditions, avoiding any possible contamination of the environment and/or product.
OEB 5 (≤1 µg/m3) can be achieved by cleaning with compressed air.
