Butterfly and single-seat valve service kits, seat rings, disc bushings and actuator parts for CIP-cleaned hygienic lines.
Send the serial number of the unit, and a photograph of its nameplate with it. The serial number is what the part is ordered against; the nameplate settles which version of the machine it belongs to, because the same number can appear on more than one.
Part numbers are welcome where you have them. The quotation states the genuine part, its origin and its lead time.
A service kit specifies the elastomer by kit number. The compound is a separate part rather than an option on the same part.
Seat performance in a CIP circuit is governed by the cure system of the rubber, which is rarely stated on an aftermarket component.
| Property | Peroxide-cured | Sulphur-cured |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous service | to approx. 150 °C; steam to 180 °C+ | approx. 120 °C max |
| Compression set | approx. 19% after 70 h at 100 °C | Hardens in service |
| Hot caustic / nitric CIP | Minimal swelling | Degrades faster |
| Product contact | Clean | May alter the properties of fluids in contact |
| Seat replacement interval | NOT PUBLISHED. Determined by CIP cycles, temperature, product and actuation frequency. | |

Both compounds are correctly described as EPDM. The panels show retained sealing force over six hundred CIP cycles for each cure system.
