INOXPA A470 Leakage Butterfly Valve

The A470 leakage butterfly valve is a highly specialized valve designed for use in a wide range of liquid product applications, particularly within the food-processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Built with precision and reliability in mind, the A470 valve ensures a safe and hygienic separation of products, preventing cross-contamination and accidental mixing of different substances in critical production processes. This is especially important in industries where product integrity and safety are paramount, such as in the preparation of food ingredients, pharmaceutical compounds, or chemical formulations.

One of the key features of the A470 valve is its ability to provide a secure barrier between products and cleaning solutions, even in the event of gasket failure. This advanced design adds an extra layer of protection, making it an ideal solution for applications where the risk of accidental product mixing could lead to contamination or compromised quality. By ensuring that the gasket failure does not lead to unintended mixing, the A470 helps maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety in production environments that handle sensitive or regulated materials.

The valve’s most common applications include processes that require a safe separation of the product from Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) solutions at a single point or at the end of a manifold. For example, it is often used in the CIP return process, where cleaning fluids are drained and returned to the system for reuse or disposal. Additionally, the A470 valve is frequently employed when a CIP solution needs to enter a tank through a spray ball, ensuring that the cleaning solution is properly isolated from the product. By providing such critical separation, the A470 valve not only enhances the safety and cleanliness of the process but also improves efficiency by preventing potential downtime or costly contamination incidents.

In addition to its safety and separation features, the A470 leakage butterfly valve is designed for ease of use and integration into existing systems. Its durable construction and high-performance components make it suitable for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. Whether used in food and beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or chemical processing, the A470 valve offers an efficient, cost-effective solution that meets the stringent requirements of these industries, while minimizing the risk of product loss or contamination.
