Rubber Materials
In order to obtain the longest possible lifetime for rubber seals it is essential to choose the right quality for the actual duty. Consequently when choosing
rubber quality, the characteristics of the different rubber types should be considered. All product wetted rubber material are in conformity of FDA.

EPDM Rubber (Ethylene Propylene)


EPDM rubber is widely used within the food industry as it is resistant to most products used in this sector. Another advantage is that it may be used to a
recommend max. temperatures of 140°C (244°F). However, there is one essential limitation, EPDM is not resistant to organic and non-organic oils and
fats. The resistance to ozone is excellent.

Actylonitrile Butadiene Rubber, NBR


NBR is the rubber type most frequently used for technical purposes. It is quite resistant to most hydrocarbons, e.g oil, grease and fat. It is sufficiently
resistant to diluted lye and nitric acid and may be used to a recommend max. 95°C (203°F). As NBR is attacked by ozone it may not be exposed to
ultraviolet rays and should thus consequently be stored so that this is avoided.

Silicone Rubber, Q
The most significant quality of silicone rubber is that it can be applied from temperatures below -50°C (-58°F) to approx. + 180°C (356°F) and still
keep its elasticity. The chemical resistance is satisfactory to most products. However, undiluted lye and acids as well as hot water and steam may
destroy silicone rubber. The resistance to ozone is good.

Fluorine Rubber, FPM


FPM is often used when other rubber types are unsuited, especially at high temperatures up to approx. 180°C (356°F). The chemical resistance is good
to most products, however hot water, steam, lye, acid and alcohol should be avoided. The resistance to ozone is good.

Hydrogenated actylonitrileButadiene Rubber, HNBR


Mechanically strong and normally resistant to ozone and strong oxidizers, animal and vegetable fats, nonpolar solvents, oils and lubricants, water and
aqueous solutions. The recommend max. temperature is 130°C (266°F).

Perfluoroalkoxy polymer, PFA


PFA is very similar to PTFE, but opposite to those PFA is thermo plastic and has minimal porosity. PFA has a very high mechanical strength which
makes it a perfect choice when dealing with abbrasive products. The PFA seal offers longer service intervals. The recommend max. temperature
for the PFA seal is 90°C (194°F).

Product and chemical resistance of flexible rubber materials


The information below is intended as an aid in selecting the best rubber quality for an actual application. It is not possible to state any general lifetime
of rubber seals as many factors influence it: chemical attack, temperature, mechanical wear etc. Extreme temperatures, even within the generally
accepted limits, may worsen other kinds of attack and thus reduce the lifetime.

Cleaning validation intruments

Introduction
The Alfa Laval Rotacheck Basic and Alfa Laval Rotacheck Plus
are intelligent sensors that validate the proper function of the Alfa
Laval Rotary Jet Head during the cleaning operation for tanks used
in hygienic applications. These sensors provide a proven, reliable
validation method that increases quality assurance in tank cleaning.
The sensors accurately and precisely register, monitor and evaluate
the rotation and impact of the rotary jet head. Whenever any deviation
from the original rotation or impact pattern is detected, it automatically
sends an error signal, enabling the control system as well as the
operator to take remedial action to restore optimal operation.
Designed for use in all types of hygienic tanks, the Rotacheck Basic
and Rotacheck Plus is approved to carry the 3-A symbol and the
European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) symbol.
The Rotacheck system may also be used with purified water (PW) and
water for injection (WFI) as well as in systems that are pressurized
during Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) up to 0.3 bar. Both are approved
for use in potentially explosive environments in Zone 0/20 in the
product-wetted area and Zone 2/22 in the non-product-wetted area.

Application
The Alfa Laval Rotacheck is designed to fulfil the demands for tank
cleaning validation in hygienic applications across the dairy, food,
.beverage, brewery, and pharmaceutical industries. During subsequent CIP cycles, the processor in the sensor board then
compares actual values to the digitally stored reference values and

Rotacheck can be:
• Hit: The moment in time when the water jet hits the sensor head.
• Alarm: In case of unit failure or constant hit (cleaning device error).
• Idle: When the rotary jet head is not in use and cleaning is not
being performed.
Alfa Laval Rotacheck Plus
This advanced innovative system features unique built-in teach-in and
monitoring functions to verify the proper rotation of the rotary jet head.
As the rotary jet head performs the first CIP cycle, the sensor registers
time and pressure data from the cleaning process and stores them as
reference data. The reference data represent a unique pattern for a
specific cleaning process in terms of the water jet intensity on the tank
wall (hits) and the time between the hits from the water jet.

ky Alfa Laval Unique Flexbody


Instrumentation Accessories

Introduction
The Alfa Laval Unique Flexbody is a flexible in-line platform or housing
to fit instruments or sight glasses into hygienic fluid processing lines. It
easily fits into any piping system to enhance process monitoring and
control. Up to two instruments or sight glasses can be positioned
in any pipeline. Its simple, no-dead-zone design makes the Unique
Flexbody easy to use, maintain and clean.

.
Application
The Alfa Laval Unique Flexbody is designed to enable various
instruments or sight glasses to be installed into any pipeline in
hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage, brewery and
pharmaceutical industries.
.
Benefits
• Improve control, measurement and visual inspection of your
hygienic fluid process lines
• Higher productivity and profitability
• Ensure process hygiene due to ease of cleaning—no dead zones,
domes or sumps
• Two connection sizes fit all instrumentation and sight glasses
• Easy to remove, clean, calibrate and maintain instrumentation or
. sight glasses

.
Standard design
The Unique Flexbody consists of hygienic stainless steel in-line
housing, two o-rings, and a choice between either a blind cap and
one sight glass or two sight glasses. It can be welded into any piping
system with various pipe diameters. The process connection can be
sealed with the hygienic blind cap when instrument or sight glass is
not attached.

.
Working principle
The Unique Flexbody has two openings to accommodate two
instruments or sight glasses at the same time. When one or both of
the openings is not being used for measurement or visual monitoring,
hygienic blind caps can seal the process connections.
