Improves cleanliness of horizontal tank connections
- Enhanced product safety, cleanability and operating efficiency
- Spillage-free operation with leakage detection and leakage chamber cleaning
- Easy maintenance and parts replacement
- Low total cost of ownership
- Capable of cleaning shadow areas in tank connections
To improve the cleanliness of the horizontal tank connections. It ensures that no area of the tank inlet or tank outlet is left uncleaned, it is specifically designed for horizontal mounting on the side of a tank or as a space-saving alternative at the bottom of a cone-formed tank. Its self-cleaning design provides state-of-the-art cleanability in the shadow area, where no Cleaning-in-Place pressure or flow from the tank side to clean the connection. The valve provides greater flexibility by filling and emptying a tank at the same time.

How does the Unique Mixproof Horizontal tank valve work
SpiralClean system
To ensure the hygienic operating condition of its Unique mixproof valve range, Alfa Laval offers its SpiralClean system to clean the upper and lower balanced plugs and leakage chamber of the valves. Using less cleaning fluid, utilities and time, SpiralClean cleans more thoroughly and efficiently than conventional cleaning devices. All external CIP systems for Unique mixproof valves include the SpiralClean design as standard.
Another big benefit: SpiralClean enables the Unique mixproof valve to operate under aseptic-like conditions, creating a steam barrier to the atmosphere upon applying steam to the CIP pipes.
Unique Mixproof Horizontal Tank Valve
The Unique Mixproof HT valve provides a state of the art solution when there is no CIP pressure or flow from the tank side to clean the seat and plug. The valve is self-cleaning, thanks to two Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) nozzles. The first nozzle is designed specifically for plug cleaning. This double-acting nozzle projects cleaning solution through the tank connection, ensuring complete cleaning of the seat contact surfaces as well as the shadow area of the tank port.
The second is a rotating CIP nozzle incorporated into the unit for optimum cleaning of the full-bore leakage chamber. The design of the single valve body makes it suitable to weld directly on the tank or to connect it via a Tri-clamp.
The 4” and 6” models feature a 45-mm opening, which enables the passage of very large particles or efficient handling of high viscosity fluids.
