6. Cleaning
6.1.
Cleaning recommendation
The valve passage is cleaned by the cleaning liquid during cleaning
of the connected pipelines.
Several switching (“cycling”) of the valve during pipeline cleaning is
beneficial for the cleaning of the leakage chamber.
Depending on the degree and contents of soiling, the cleaning
liquids, times and processes for the individual application must be
scheduled.
The compatibility of the individually selected cleaning processes
and liquids with the respectively used cleaning seals must be
verified.
cleaning step
CIP spraying
pre-flushing
2 x 10 sec.
caustic flushing 80 °C
3 x 10 sec.
intermediate flushing
2 x 10 sec.
acid flushing
3 x 10 sec.
final flushing
2 x 10 sec.
(with a break of 20 sec. each)
- The flushing times refer to a cleaning pressure of p = 3 - 5 bar.
- The flushing times indicated for the individual cleaning steps are
reference values, only. In specific applications these times must
be adjusted depending on the product, the pressure ratio and the
degree of soiling.
- The flushing quantity per CIP spraying cycle amounts to about 1
litre at a cleaning pressure of 3 - 5 bar.
7. Installation
- The valve must be installed in vertical position. Operating leakage is
freely drainable to the bottom and the leakage chamber drains off.
- For deviating installations (e.g. valve in horizontal position), special
valves are available.
- If several valves are connected parallely in one pipeline, a passage
of the operating leakage to the cleaning connection of adjacent
valves must be avoided. Installation of a shut-off device or a check
valve in front of each cleaning connection is required.
- Cleaning connection with hose 8 x 1.
Caution!
Observe welding instructions 7.1.
