The SWcip4 valve is a double seal valve designed especially for CIP applications. The valve replaces old-fashioned block and bleed concepts based on three butterfly valves or double butterfly valves. With two serial seat seals and a separation cavity, this double seal valve ensures that intermixing of CIP media is avoided. This valve helps to increase product safety demands in CIP systems.
SWcip4 Series Double Seal Valve
Purpose and Design Origin
The SWcip4 valve provides reliable isolation between the CIP media tank and both the CIP supply and return lines. It is engineered based on the proven principles of SW4 and SD4 valve designs.
Key Advantages
Operational Benefits
Profile seals eliminate gaps and simplify spare parts ordering with ID-numbering
Mixproof separation ensures safe handling of CIP media
Maintenance-friendly design featuring lightweight construction, fewer seals, and a maintenance-free actuator
Reduced upkeep costs thanks to metallic stops and extended seal lifespan
Flexible configuration with interchangeable actuators to accommodate varying product pressures
Actuator Warranty & Reliability
The actuator supplied with this valve is covered by a 5-year actuator warranty, or up to 1 million actuations, whichever comes first. Built with fully welded, sealed, maintenance-free construction, it eliminates internal servicing and reduces wear components to deliver long-term durability in demanding hygienic processing environments.
Key benefits include:
Maintenance-free operation with no internal servicing
Fewer spare parts and improved total cost of ownership
uptime and production continuity
