How does Single Seat Valve work?

The single seat sampling valve operates in two modes: open and shut, to deliver reliable sampling with minimal risk of contamination. The modular design allows easy upgrading to a double-seat configuration using a compatible kit.
Open Position (for sampling):
  • Manual: Turn the handle counter-clockwise
  • Pneumatic: Activate the actuator to retract the stem and membrane
This allows product to flow freely through the valve.

Shut Position (for cleaning/sterilization):
  • Manual: Rotate the handle clockwise
  • Pneumatic: Close the valve by stopping air supply
This closes the valve, making the internal flow path accessible for steam or CIP/SIP sterilization. For added safety during steam sterilization, using a pressure relief valve on the outlet is recommended.
