How does Alfa Laval LKAP work?

The Alfa Laval LKAP operates as a pneumatically controlled single-seat valve, most commonly supplied in a normally closed (NC) configuration. When compressed air is applied, the actuator opens the valve to allow product flow. Once the air supply is removed, a spring return mechanism automatically shuts the valve, ensuring safe and dependable shut-off. The LKAP valve can also be paired with monitoring accessories to enable remote position detection for enhanced process control.
