Control Units for Valves

With Alfa Laval’s valve sensor and control units, such as ThinkTop®, you get precise monitoring and control of your fluid handling systems. They are developed with a focus on user-friendliness and operational reliability, making them easy to install and integrate into your process.

Thanks to 360° LED status indicators, you get immediate visual feedback on the position of the valves, making it easy to monitor operations and respond quickly to any changes. Their compact design means they fit perfectly – even in tight installation areas – ensuring smooth operation while minimizing the risk of errors.

• Precise monitoring and control of fluid handling systems: Ensures accurate control over fluid flows, improving process quality.​
• Easy installation and setup: User-friendly design that simplifies implementation and reduces installation time.​
• High operational reliability: Robust construction that minimizes the risk of breakdowns and ensures continuous operation.​
• 360° LED status indicators for clear visual feedback: Provides a clear and immediate visual indication of valve status, facilitating monitoring and maintenance.

Intelligent Monitoring Systems

To ensure optimal performance and minimize the risk of unforeseen operational stops, Alfa Laval offers intelligent IoT-based monitoring systems. These systems continuously monitor the condition of critical rotating equipment, such as pumps, by collecting data on vibrations, temperature, and operating time. This real-time data makes it easier to predict and plan maintenance, extending equipment lifespan and reducing total ownership costs.

• Continuous monitoring of critical rotating equipment: Enables constant condition monitoring of equipment like pumps, preventing unexpected failures.​
• Collection of real-time data on vibrations, temperature, and operating time: Provides immediate insight into equipment performance, supporting precise maintenance.​
• Enables predictive maintenance: Uses data to plan maintenance before issues arise, reducing unplanned operational stops.​
• Extends equipment lifespan: Early identification of potential issues helps extend the functional lifespan of equipment.​
• Reduces total ownership costs: Efficient maintenance and extended equipment lifespan lead to lower costs over time.

Validation of Tank Cleaning

To ensure high hygiene standards, Alfa Laval offers advanced solutions for validating tank cleaning. These instruments check whether cleaning processes meet the necessary requirements, so you can always be sure of thorough and effective cleaning.

Precise validation of cleaning is crucial to prevent cross-contamination and ensure consistent product quality – especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where hygiene is critical.

• Ensures the effectiveness of cleaning processes: Confirms that cleaning procedures are effective, ensuring high hygiene standards.​

• Maintains high hygiene standards: Ensures that cleaning processes meet necessary hygiene requirements, which is essential in the food and pharmaceutical industries.​
• Prevents cross-contamination: Reduces the risk of different products contaminating each other, protecting product integrity.​
• Ensures high product quality: By ensuring effective cleaning, the necessary product quality is maintained in these sensitive sectors.
