Automotive Heating System
SB Mini Flow Valve
The Alfa Laval SB Mini Flow Valve is a reliable single seat valve with a single contact surface between the plug and the seat to minimize the risk of contamination. Designed for working in a gas or liquid environment, it is used to close or divert small product flows when hygienic shut off and changeover are required.
SB Pressure Exhaust Valve
The Alfa Laval SB Pressure Exhaust Valve is a pneumatic regulating valve that automatically releases pressure in a hygienic process tank when it exceeds the set pressure. To ensure safe pressure regulations at all times, the set pressure can easily be adjusted manually or from a remote location that is connected to the central control system.
SB Pressure Relief Valve
The Alfa Laval SB Pressure Relief Valve is a hygienic safety valve that removes excess liquid that creates overpressure in a process tank or vessel due to overfilling. When pressure in the tank exceeds a pre-set value, the pressure relief valve opens to vent fluid in the event of liquid overfilling and closes when the tank or vessel pressure has returned below the set point. This prevents damage to the tank or vessel and help ensure safe operations.
SB Self-cleaning CO2 valve
The Alfa Laval SB Self-cleaning CO2 Valve is a combination gas supply-gas vent valve to control the flow of carbon dioxide in tank top systems and other applications in order to vent and/or pressurize a vessel. Fully cleanable and self-draining, this hygienic valve provides safe, reliable and cost-effective gas management.
SB Tank Pressure Regulator
The Alfa Laval SB Tank Pressure Regulator maintains the working pressure in the vapour space, or at the top, of a process tank during filling, processing and emptying. It generally connects directly to the gas pipe or Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) pipe that leads in to the tank top, or is incorporated into a flow panel. This ensures process safety and effectiveness as well as safeguards product integrity.
SBV Sanitary Ball Valve
The Alfa Laval Sanitary Ball Valve (SBV) is a hygienic ball valve designed with a bore diameter the same size as the pipeline diameter. The full-bore design with zero flow restriction and minimum pressure drop makes the SBV the optimum choice to handle high-viscosity or particulate liquids. It is also ideal for use in pigging systems to prevent product waste and optimize plant performance.
Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger UHT Systems
APV® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE) UHT Systems use scraped surface heat exchangers to enable ultra-high temperature processing of heat-sensitive, viscous and particulate-rich products. Designed for reliable, gentle treatment of challenging formulations, these systems ensure consistent thermal performance, smooth texture and shelf-stable results — making them ideal for aseptic processing of dairy desserts, fruit preps, baby food and sauces.
Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers
Contherm® scraped surface heat exchangers are robust, high-performance solutions for demanding heating and cooling duties across sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and personal care. Unlike traditional heat exchangers, these systems are engineered to handle viscous, crystallizing, or particulate-rich materials, making them ideal for challenging applications.
Alfa Laval’s rotating scraping technology reduces fouling during operation, which maintains high thermal efficiency while ensuring gentle product handling. This is especially important for shear-sensitive or sticky formulations, where maintaining product integrity is critical. Compared to a static scraped heat exchanger, Contherm® provides a larger flow area and reduced pressure drop, maximizing uptime and process reliability
SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester for PET Bottles (Pneumatic Model)
The SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester measures the stress crack resistance of PET bottles, ensuring accurate and efficient quality control.
To test the stress crack resistance of multiple carbonated soft drink bottles.
The AT2E SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester is a pneumatic model designed to test the internal stress in a bottle’s base and for determining the stress crack resistance of blow-molded PET carbonated soft drink bottles. By measuring the propensity for base cracking upon exposure to an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a controlled environment, the user can simulate the long-term behavior of bottles. This machine doesn’t need electrical power to operate, just an air line.
Models available:
- Single chamber, 6, 12, 18, 24, 26 or 30 testing stations
- Double chamber, 32 or 36 testing stations
SCT-PLC High Accuracy Stress Crack Tester for PET Bottle Durability
The SCT-PLC Stress Crack Tester measures the stress crack resistance of PET bottles, with its PLC control ensuring accurate and efficient quality control.
The AT2E’s STC-PLC Stress Crack Tester PLC model is designed to test the internal stress in bottle base and for determining the stress crack resistance of blow-molded PET carbonated soft drink bottles by measuring the propensity for base cracking upon exposure to an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution under a controlled environment, so that to estimate the long term behavior of bottles.
This equipment is available in 1, 6, 10 or 12-station models (other configurations under request)
