Concept

The exceptional concept of this mixproof valve is characterized by

excellent unmatched flexibility - yet still being very simple. The modular

design gives you the perfect valve for your exact needs in all mixproof

tank outlet operations allowing two different products in pipeline and

tank.

Working Principle

Unique is remote-controlled by means of compressed air. The valve

is a normally closed (NC) valve.

The valve has two independent plug seals, forming a leakage chamber.

In the leakage chamber there is only atmospheric pressure during

every working condition. In case of rare accidental leaking of product,

this will flow into the leakage chamber and be discharged through

the leakage outlet. When the valve is open, the leakage chamber is

closed. The product can then flow from tank to pipeline.

The valve is water hammer protected in the pipeline due to the

balanced plug that prevent the plug from closing too fast, when closing

in the direction of product flow.

The valve can be cleaned to any level according to the needs in

the specific process. There is virtually no spillage of product when

operating the valve.

Valve Body Combinations

Standard design

The valve consists of one valve body, which is connected to either a

tank flange or a stub flange with a clamp.

The body can be turned in any position if the clamp is slightly loosened.

The tank flange is welded directly into the tank. (Important! Observe

welding guideline in instruction manual).

The tank flange is supplied with TÜV approval AD 2000 and inspection

certificate 3.1 according to EN10204.

The design allows the Unique-TO to be installed in a horizontal position.

SpiralClean

The Suntyech SpiralClean system to clean the balanced plug and

leakage chamber.

The system cleans more efficiently, uses less cleaning fluid by ensuring

that a directional flow of CIP fluid reaches all the surfaces in much less

time than with conventional systems.

Selection guide

The drawings below gives an overview of all options when choosing

the valve to fit your process, thus demonstrating the actual flexibility of

the Unique Mixproof tank outlet valve.

The Unique-TO concept offers balanced plug in pipe line, seat lift, CIP

for the plugs and leakage chambers and any combination in between.

Unique-TO size flexibility

1. DN50 with tank flange, group 3 actuator including seat lift and seat push

2. ISO63.5 (2½”) with tank flange, group 4 basic actuator including

seat lift and seat push

3. ISO76.1 (3”) with spiral on upper balanced plug and tank flange,

group 5 basic actuator including seat lift and seat push

4. DN150 with spiralclean on leakage chamber upper balanced plug

and group 4 basic actuator

5. ISO 63.5 (2½”) with tank flange, group 4 basic actuator including

seat lift

Unique-TO hygienic flexibility (spiral clean options)

1. External CIP of leakage chamber

2. External CIP of upper balanced plug

3. External CIP cleaning of leakage chamber and upper balanced plug

Standard configurations

To assist you in the selection we have included some standard

configurations:

- Unique-TO

- Unique-TO with external cleaning.

You can either choose these directly or add additional features

ensuring that the valve suits your specific needs.

Unique-TO meets the typical demands of a process valve in the food

and drink industry.

- Actuator with seat lift integrated.

- Standard balanced plug in pipeline.

Unique-TO with external cleaning meets the highest demands for

hygienic processing.

- Actuator with seat lift integrated.

- Standard balanced plug in pipeline.

- SpiralClean of leakage chamber and balanced plug

Options

- Male parts or clamp liners in accordance with required standard.

- Control and Indication: IndiTop, ThinkTop or ThinkTop Basic.

- Side indication for detection of upper seat lift

- Product wetted seals in HNBR, NBR or FPM

- Various internal/external surface finish

- 3A (sanitary standard) on request

- Blindflange

- Conversion flange that enables replacement of an SMP-TO valve

though reusing the existing SMP-TO tank flange - see fig. 1.

- Tank connection supplied separately

When Unique-TO is mounted on a SMP-TO flange via the Suntyech

conversion flange add 28 mm to valve height dimensions (A1-A4)

Notes:

Max. pressure in tank means that a higher pressure in tank will open the valve. It is possible to open with 10 bar (1000 kPa) in pipe line. When closing

the valve the pressure cannot be higher than "Max. Tank pressure".
