SWcip4 Series - Double Seal Valves

The SWcip4 valve is a double seal valve designed especially for CIP applications. The valve replaces old-fashioned block and bleed concepts based on three butterfly valves or double butterfly valves. With two serial seat seals and a separation cavity, this double seal valve ensures that intermixing of CIP media is avoided. This valve helps to increase product safety demands in CIP systems.

SWcip4 Series Double Seal Valve

Purpose and Design Origin

The SWcip4 valve provides reliable isolation between the CIP media tank and both the CIP supply and return lines. It is engineered based on the proven principles of SW4 and SD4 valve designs.
