Applications

This intelligent, hygienic actuator is designed for superior flow control in dairy, food, beverage, brewery, biotech, pharmaceutical and many other industries.

Benefits

• A single, integrated automation solution for Alfa Laval LKB Butterfly Valves
• Highly durable, reliable, all-in-one actuator
• Simplified auto setup for butterfly valve control
• Clearly visible 360° LED indication of valve operation
• Easy upgrade for manual and automated butterfly valves

Standard design

The Alfa Laval Unique Control actuator for butterfly valves is an intelligent sensing and control unit engineered as a single, integrated unit. It is available with a digital or AS-Interface. The actuator comes with a matching bracket kit for mounting on butterfly valves in sizes 1” - 4” or DN25 - DN100.

Working principle

The Alfa Laval Unique Control LKB actuator uses an air spring, enabling operation at a significantly lower air pressure than using a conventional mechanical spring. A single push of a button enables the actuator to perform easy, onsite selfconfiguration and calibration tasks according to the operating air pressure provided. The actuator also monitors the operating air pressure and will send alerts about issues that require attention in order to prevent any male functions, ensuring more uptime.
