Safety Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Safety READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL PRIOR TO INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT Waukesha Cherry-Burrell recommends users of our equipment and designs follow the latest Industrial Safety Standards. At a minimum, these should include the industrial safety requirements established by: 1.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Care of Stainless Steel Care of Stainless Steel Stainless Steel Corrosion resistance is greatest when a layer of oxide film is formed on the sur- Corrosion face of stainless steel. If film is disturbed or destroyed, stainless steel becomes much less resistant to corrosion and may rust, pit or crack.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Introduction For control top information, please refer to publication 95-03083 (2-piece) or 95-03077 (3-Piece (obsoleted)). For additional product information, please see our web site at www.spx.com/en/ waukesha-cherry-burrell/resources/product-literature. General Information Information in this manual should be read by all personnel involved in installation, setup, operation and maintenance.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Introduction Operating Parameters Temperature Range: The recommended operating temperature is determined by the material used for the seals. No special precautions are required for applications within a tem- perature range of 32°F to 180°F (0°C to 82°C). For applications above 190°F (88°C), clearances can be affected by excessive thermal expansion when the valve is installed in compact fabrications or manifolds.

Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Installation Installation CAUTION: When installing the valve, ensure that no foreign materials (e.g. tools, screws, welding wire, lubricants, cloths, etc.) are enclosed in the system. Location The valve must be in a vertical position to ensure that the vent/ drain outlet system functions properly.
Installation Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Fittings When using suitable fittings, Mix Proof valves with detachable connections can be installed in a pipe system per the fitting requirements. The valve must be installed free of tension. After the valve is installed in the pipe system, attach the control air hoses and connect them to the electrical supply.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Installation 6. Connect the electrical control cord to the valve at location A (see Figure 3). NOTE: Control tops are available with strain relief cord grip for hard wiring or threaded pin connectors for quick disconnect. Mating cables must be ordered separately. 7.
Installation Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Connect the cavity cleaning supply to a suitable liquid supply to flush the vent/drain (Figure 6) during the operation of the pro- cessing system. The flush supply line can be connected to the pipe system by 1/4" (6 mm) rigid or poly flow tubing.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Installation Function The low pressure steam enters through port B of the upper stem DANGER: The steam connection steam flush adapter. Steam purges the outside and inside of the must be shut off and the valve must cool before servicing the upper stem and the vent cavity.
Operation Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Operation All functions of W-Series mix proof valves are pneumatically con- trolled using a 75 min. to 100 max. psi (5.2 to 6.9 bar) clean air supply. The valve contains a large and small spring in the valve actuator. The springs hold the valve seats in the closed position.
Operation Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 6. Vent the air in chamber 2 (Figure 9, page 16) to deactivate the seat lift. 7. If used, pressurize chamber 3 to activate the lower seat push. 8. Confirm that the proximity switches conform to Table 4 on page 17.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Operation Valve Closed, Upper Seat Lifted For cleaning the upper seat on seat lifting models only. Chamber 2 is pressurized, and Chambers 3 and 1 are vented. See Figure Figure 12 - Valve Closed, Upper Seat Lifted Valve Closed, Lower Seat Push (for W72RS/W72RSP Series Only) Chamber 3 is pressurized, and Chambers 1 and 2 are vented.
