The valve must only be assembbled, operated, disassembled and maintained by persons who have been trained accordingly. If necessary, contact your local SPX FLOW representative. Relief Valve DELTA UF3 (A) / UFR3 (A) Instruction Manual: UK-7...
Danger to life! Actuators which are no longer used or defective must be diposed in professional manner. Defective actuators must be returned to your SPX FLOW representative for their professional disposal and free of charge for you. Please address to your local SPX FLOW representative.
APV_UF3-UFR3_UK-7_082017.indd Mode of Operation 4.1. General terms The valve has been developed for use in the brewing and beverage, APV DELTA UF3/ UFR3 dairy and food industries as well as for chemical and pharmaceutical relief valve applications. The valves are designed for universal applications and stand out for their increased mechanical reliability and absolute ease of service.
APV_UF3-UFR3_UK-7_082017.indd Auxiliary Equipment 5.1. Seat lift actuator (fig. 5.1) fig. 5.1. The UF3 valve can be equipped with a seat lift cylinder if required for cleaning technical reasons. (see chapter 6.) 5.2. Valve position indication For the valve position indication, proximity switches can be installed in the yoke area.
APV_UF3-UFR3_UK-7_082017.indd Cleaning Optimum cleaning is given if the seat lift actuator (E) drives fig. 6.1. the valve seat into the position “on” during the cleaning process (fig. 6.1). During this process, the cleaning liquid can flush the seal surfaces. After termination of the cleaning step, the seat lift actuator is vented and the valve seat moves into "closed"...
APV_UF3-UFR3_UK-7_082017.indd Installation 7.1. General terms Installation has to be done in such a way that liquids can drain off the valve housing. Vertical position is preferred. Valves can be welded direct into the pipeline (valve insert completely dismantable). After the installation, the set value must be adjusted by a pressure gauge.
