Alfa Laval ThinkTop V70

Sensing and control

ThinkTop V70 takes valve control to a new level and all these new features are available on any Alfa Laval single-seat and mixproof valves. While helping to increase production performance and secure traceability, ThinkTop V70 provide real-time information on the valve's operating status 24/7.

ThinkTop V70 are interchangeable with prior ThinkTop versions, and the appropriate variant is selected based on the number of solenoid valves. With only one sensor target and included adapter, ThinkTop V70 are easily retrofittable to existing Alfa Laval valves.

ThinkTop V70 come fitted with features such as Auto Setup, Live Setup and Flex Setup that streamline the setup process, making it quick and easy. Auto Setup and Live Setup recognise the valve based on its DNA profile and can complete the valve setup without any manual interaction.

The burst and pulse seat clean function is available on ThinkTop V70. These valve position-based functions controls the optimum seat clean sequence of the valve, making it possible to save CIP time and achieve up to 95% CIP liquid savings for each seat clean

Working Principle

The control unit offers a single sensor solution for, single-seat and mixproof valves and it can be fitted with up to three solenoid valves. ThinkTop converts the electrical PLC output signals into mechanical energy to energise, or de-energise, the air-operated valve, using the physical sensor target mounted on the valve stem.

Installation with Auto Setup or Live Setup is intuitive and fast. To initiate Auto Setup, simply press the “SELECT” button and then the “ENTER” button to begin the setup sequence. The ThinkTop automatically recognizes the type of valve and completes the programming sequence fast and efficiently.

Alternatively, the ThinkTop can be set up, without dismantling the control head, using the built-in Live Setup feature for remote-configuration.
