SPX FLOW Valves are intended for use in the food and beverage industries, as well as in pharmaceutical and chemical applications. SPX FLOW Valves (without safety function) are allocated to Category 1 and are evaluated as per Conformity Assessment Module A of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
APV_D4_D4SL_GB-3_022024.indd Mode of Operation 4.1. General terms fig. 4.1. D4 valve Due to its construction and mode of operation as well as to the use of high quality stainless steel and adequate seal materials, the D4 CU41 and D4 SL double seat mix proof valves are suited for applications control unit in the food and beverage industries as well as in pharmaceutical and chemical applications.
APV_D4_D4SL_GB-3_022024.indd Mode of Operation fig. 4.2. 4.2. Valve in "closed" position The lower and upper valve shaft are in closed position and safely separate the different liquids A and B. The leakage chamber L, which is situated between the two valve shafts, provides for a free and depressurized discharge to the bottom.
Proximity switch 24V DC, PNP, 11 mm DIA. (cable box): H16432 If the customer decides to use valve position indicators other than those listed above, SPX FLOW cannot assume any liability for the functionality of the valve.

D4 valve: CIP spraying must generally be undertaken. CIP spraying does not produce pressure build-up in the leakage chamber. SPX FLOW recommends performing CIP-spraying in the closed valve position; however, it can also be done in the open valve position.
APV_D4_D4SL_GB-3_022024.indd Cleaning fig. 6.5. 6.5. D4 SL valve: Cleaning of upper area (fig. 6.5.) The upper valve shaft is lifted via connection (2), as shown in fig. 4.1.1 on page 8. Through the lifting of the upper valve shaft, the cleaning fluid flushes over the upper seat seal and the upper valve seat into the leakage chamber and cleans this area.
APV_D4_D4SL_GB-3_022024.indd Installation and Commissioning The valve must be installed in vertical position to ensure that fluids can drain off freely from the valve housing and the leakage chamber. Caution! Leakages and fluid losses from seat lifting and CIP- spraying must be safely collected and drained! The valve housing can be welded directly into the pipeline (completely removable valve insert).
