3.5 Functional description

3.5.1 Pneumatic Actuator


The compressed air which enters above the piston causes a downwards
movement of the piston. The flap of the leakage butterfly valve opens or closes,
depending on the definition of the resting position. When the air supply is shut off,
the valve closes automatically as a result of the spring force.
The stroke of the piston is converted into a rotary movement of the shaft. The
travel of the piston is limited, so that the shaft performs a 90° rotation per stroke.
This rotation exactly corresponds to the rotational angle required to open or close
the flap of the leakage butterfly valve.

3.5.2 Actuator (A.1)

The mixproof butterfly valve is used for separating media. The valve disk (1) as
the shut-off element is supported between two flanges screwed together (2, 3)
and plain bearings (5). The valve positions are OPEN / CLOSED.
In the CLOSED position, two media can be reliably separated from one another.
The leakage cavity is open towards the atmosphere in this case. After switching,
the medium in the valve disk leakage areas can drain by gravity (7).
In the OPEN position (maximum throughflow), the leakage paths towards the
atmosphere are closed. The leakage cavity is sealed by the radial seal (6) on the
short valve disk shaft.
Hint!
The hole (B) in the square end is used to indicate the position of the
valve disk.

Transport and storage
Storage conditions

4 Transport and storage

4.1 Storage conditions


The valves, valve inserts or spare parts should be stored in a dry place, free of
vibrations and dust, and protected from light. To avoid damage, leave the
components in their original packaging if possible.
If, during transport or storage, the valve is going to be exposed to temperatures ≤
0°C, it must be dried beforehand and suitable measures must be taken to protect
it from damage.
Hint!

We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5


°C for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the
housings / activation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by
condensation water can melt.

4.2 Transport
For transport, the following principles apply:
• Only use suitable lifting gear and slings for transporting the package units/
valves.
• Observe the pictograms on the package.
• Handle valves with care to avoid damage caused by impact or careless
loading and unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to
breaking.
• Control tops must be protected from animal and vegetable fats.
• Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
• Movable parts must be properly secured.
• Only use approved, fully functional load lifting devices and lifting accessories
which are suitable for the intended purpose. Observe the maximum load-
bearing capacities.
• Secure the valve against slipping. Take the weight of the valve into account
and the position of the point of gravity.
• Under no circumstances should anyone stand under a suspended load.
• Take care when transporting the valve. Do not grip sensitive parts of the unit
to lift or push the unit or to support yourself. Avoid putting the unit down with a
jerk.

4.2.1 Scope of supply

9 Cleaning

9.1 Cleaning
All parts in contact with product must be cleaned at regular intervals. Always
observe the safety data sheets issued by the cleaning agent manufacturers. Only
use cleaning agents which do not cause damage to the seals and the inner parts
of the valve. When the pipe is cleaned, the cleaning medium also flows through
and cleans the valve housings.
With respect to the cleaning method and parameters like detergents,
temperatures, times, and intervals, the component manufacturer can merely
make recommendations but cannot provide any generally applicable details.
Method and parameters should be determined and defined by the operator in
accordance with the relevant process and product.
The cleaning effect must be checked regularly by the operator!

9.1.1 Cleaning Process Examples


Typical Cleaning Parameters in Dairy Operations
Example of a two-phase cleaning process:
• Sodium hydroxide solution and sodium hydroxide based combination
products in concentrations from 0.5% to 2.5% at 75 °C (167 °F) to 80 °C (176
°F).
• Phosphoric or nitric acid, and combination products based thereon in the
concentrations of 0.3 to 1.5% at approx. 65 °C (149 °F).
Example of a cleaning operation in one cleaning step:
• Formic acid and formic acid-based combination products at up to 85 °C (185
°F).
Typical Cleaning Parameters in Breweries
• Sodium hydroxide solution and sodium hydroxide based combination
products in concentrations of 1% to 4% at about 85 °C (185 °F).
• Phosphoric or nitric acid, and combination products based thereon in the
concentrations of 0.3 to 1.5% at 20 °C (68 °F).

9.1.2 Cleaning effect


The cleaning effect depends on the following factors:
• Temperature
• Time
• Mechanics
• Chemicals
• Degree of soiling
These factors can be combined in such a way as to make an optimal cleaning
result probable.

Cleaning
Passivation

9.1.3 Cleaning the leakage cavity


On the leakage butterfly valve, two connections for flushing are provided at the
deepest point of the housing to enable cleaning of the leakage cavity.
A special sealing mechanism allows the valve to be operated without any
additional shut-off valves.
• Cleaning liquid is flushed into the leakage cavity through one of the flushing
connections.
• The second flushing connection is used for discharging medium and as a
leakage indicator in the event of sealing damage.
• When the pipe is cleaned, it is recommended to completely open and close
the flap twice per minute (at least 6 times per cleaning operation) so that
medium flows around it, in order to clean the areas underneath the flap.
The leakage cavity can be flushed via the leakage connections when the flap is
closed. The recommended admission pressure for the cleaning medium supply at
the inlet valve to the leakage cavity is 2.5 bar ± 0.5 bar. Pressure build-up
between the seals on the valve disc should always be avoided. Non-pressurised
discharging at the outlet valve is therefore required. Generally also ensure a
positive pressure difference from the product chamber to the leakage cavity. We
recommend also cleaning the leakage cavity as part of all cleaning steps using
the relevant cleaning media.
The duration of the entire washing process depends on the type of soiling and
typically ranges between 10 and 90 seconds.

Depending on the cleaning method (medium concentration, temperature and

function and the service life.

9.2 Passivation
Before commissioning a plant, passivation is commonly carried out for long pipes
and tanks.

430BAL008984EN_7
19.07.2021 35
Cleaning

Valve blocks are usually excepted from this. Passivation is typically performed
using nitric acid (HNO3) at approx. 80 °C (176 °F) at a concentration of 3 % and a
contact time of 6 to 8 hours.

Installation

Hint!
GEA Tuchenhagen recommends Rivolta F.L.G. MD-2 and PARALIQ
GTE 703. These lubricants are approved for foodstuff and are resistant
to beer froth. They have the NSF-H1 (USDA H1) registration. They do
not affect the taste or the consistency of the products and are
compatible with the seals in contact with product.
PARALIQ GTE 703 can be ordered from GEA Tuchenhagen under
material no. 413-064, and Rivolta F.L.G. MD-2 can be ordered under
material no. 413-071. Using other types of grease can result in
malfunctions or in premature seal failure. The warranty will also
become null and void.
A Manufacturer's Declaration for these products can be obtained from
GEA Tuchenhagen if required.
A thin film of grease is required on the seals to ensure the proper
function of the fittings. It reduces friction and extends the service life
of the seals. This is absolutely harmless from a health and hygienic
point of view.

10.7 Installation
Assemble the valve in reverse order of disassembly. Observe the notes and
instructions given in the following sections when doing so.

10.7.1 Assembling the Valve Disk


Overview Drawing

Fig.24

Observe the following points when assembling:


• Before the valve disk is inserted between the flanges it must be positioned at
a 90° angle to the seal.
• The plain bearings must be refitted. To fit the upper plain bearing on valves
with nominal widths DN 80 and DN 100 or 3" OD and 4" OD put installation
mandrel 229-000061 over the square end to mount the plain bearing.
• When the actuator is mounted, the valve disk must be in the correct position:
for resting position closed: valve disk closed for resting position open: valve
disk at 90° position.
