Alfa Laval unveiled a refreshed, rethought version of its ThinkTop valve sensing and control unit for hygienic valves used in the dairy, food, beverage, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. The new Alfa Laval ThinkTop offers intuitive setup and commissioning, enhanced 360-degree LED visual status indication, a repositioned Gore Vent, a more compact and aesthetic design, burst seat clean functionality, and a QR code for easy online access to support materials and direct support. The new auto setup feature offers manufacturers quick, easy commissioning – up to 90 percent faster than the previous generation.
ThinkTop V50 and V70 series cover all valve requirements and are selected based on the number of solenoid valves required. The ThinkTop V50 series matches the requirements of the Alfa Laval DV-ST, butterfly, single seat and double seal valves while the ThinkTop V70 series matches the requirements of all these valves plus Alfa Laval double seat and special valves.
ThinkTop V50 and V70 meet protection classes IP66, IP67 and IP69K.
