TrueClean® CIP'able Air Blow Check Valve
Increase cleaning efficiency with an air blow check valve that doesn't need to be disassembled to clean. Central States Industrial (CSI) offers the TrueClean® clean-in-place capable (CIP'able) air blow check valve. It is the first and only sanitary air blow check valve that can be cleaned in place within a process line.
The TrueClean® CIP'able air blow check valve acts as a traditional air blow check valve. It allows air to flow into a process line, while simultaneously preventing product from flowing into the air line. Unlike traditional air blow check valves, the TrueClean® CIP'able air blow check valve can open without performing an air blow. With the valve open, CIP fluid is able to clean the valve along with the process line. The simple, compact valve easily fits in place of an existing standard air blow check valve.
The TrueClean® valve has been authorized to carry the 3-A symbol under Standard 58-02 of the 3-A Sanitary Standard for vacuum breakers and check valves for milk and milk products.
The TrueClean CIP'able air blow check valve is available in 1.5 and 2 inch sizes.
TrueClean® brand equipment delivers unique value in the sanitary processing industry by solving everyday problems.
Applications
The TrueClean® CIP'able air blow check valve features a compact design that can easily replace an existing standard air blow check valve. Primary uses include the evacuation of product from piping after production and the reduction of time and water usage required between CIP steps.
Working Principle
While product is flowing, the primary valve stem is closed, preventing backflow into the air line. A secondary o-ring seal also seals the air line. When air pressure is applied to the primary air inlet, both the primary and secondary seals open to allow air to flow into the process line.
During CIP, air is applied to the actuator inlet. This opens the primary valve stem, but leaves the air line closed. CIP fluid is able to flow around the primary valve stem and within the valve internals, thoroughly cleaning the unit. See flow diagram.
Features
The TrueClean CIP'able air blow check valve can be cleaned in place with a process line. It fits in place of an existing standard air blow check valve. It is compact and easy to install, with minimal replacement parts. The valve is crafted from corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel and comes with either a 1.5 inch or 2 inch Tri-Clamp® connection and Viton or EPDM seals. A hose kit and a 3-A filter disk kit are available for installation.
