The Unique Control LKB fits all manual and actuated butterfly valves in the Alfa Laval LKB range. This quarter-turn valve actuator enhances flow control for products with high viscosity, high particle content, or low air pressure requirements.
Setup is easy, enabling quick upgrades of manual or pneumatic shut-off valves – five times faster than conventional solutions. This straightforward automation solution. is suitable for use across the dairy, food, beverage, brewery and many other industries.
How does a Unique Control LKB valve work
The Alfa Laval Unique Control LKB uses an air spring actuator, enabling operation at a significantly lower air pressure compared to control units using a conventional mechanical spring. Based on the operating air pressure, the actuator configures itself and calibrates values by pushing a single button. The actuator also monitors the operating air pressure and sends alerts if issues require attention to prevent malfunction, thereby ensuring more uptime.
