650 and 655 Fractional Valves

Application

Alfa Laval’s Tri-Clover® brand range of fractional valves has been designed for applications requiring a secure, sanitary or sterile environment within the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic or biotechnology processing industries. The self-draining ports and ease of operation make the Tri-Clover® brand fractional valves ideal for processes where an uncompromising sanitary environment is demanded. The many design options enable the processor to match the valve to the specific application.

Working principle

The valve is operated by means of a pneumatic actuator or manual hand operator.

Standard Design

Alfa Laval’s Tri-Clover® brand Fractional Valve is available as a relief, sample, check, air-actuated, manual shut-off or divert valve. Our fractional valves have a sanitary design which incorporates a polished ID and self-draining ports. This helps to minimize the threat of contamination and avoid product entrapment. Our fractional valves have a unique design that calls for minimal number of components and quick-couple Tri-Clamp® body connections which are easy and fast to take down and reassemble. There is a wide selection of body styles and seat materials. The shut-off and relief are available either as a tee or cross body. Other design features include: corrosion resistant type 316L stainless steel stem, bonnet and valve body construction.

Series 650/655 Valve Actuators and Manual Operators

Actuator Air Supply Specifications

• - Air pressure range is 50-60 PSI (3.5-4.1 BAR)
• - Air-volume required at 50 PSI
  Normally Closed 1¾ cu. in.
  Normally Open 2¾ cu. in.
• - Effective operating area is 2.19 sq. inches
• - Filtered air and a pressure regulator are required
• - Lubricated air is not required

Type 10 Actuator

(Air to Close - Spring to Open) Used when a “normally open” valve is required.

Type 20 Actuator

(Air to Open - Spring to Close) Used when a “normally closed” valve is required for fail-safe operation. In the event of air failure, spring automatically closes the valve.

Type 30 Actuator

(Air to Open - Air to Close)
For applications requiring air both ways. No spring is used in the actuator.

Type 40 Manual Operator

• - Standard handle is a durable UHMW polyethylene handle
• - Aluminum bronze handle also available for temperatures above 150°F (66°C) or Pressures above 150 PSI (10 BAR)

Type R40 Relief Handle for 650 Valve

• - UHMW polyethylene handle with relief spring
• - ½" valve - 12-80 PSI
• - ¾" valve - 6-60 PSI

650 Series Plug and Seat Design

Series 650 Manual and Air Actuated Valves are available in two seat styles:

The Lip Seal
Our patented, economical one-piece plug has no o-rings to replace. Available in fluorelastomer* for temperatures up to 250°F (121°C), or PTFE for temperatures up to 120°F (49°C), or where fluorelastomer is incompatible with the product.
O-Ring Seal

*Fluorelastomer and PTFE lip seal not recommended for use in cross body valves (30M). Use only PTFE Plug with O-ring in type 30M valves.

Alfa Laval Fractional Valves carry U.S. Patent Number 4,570,665.
