Alfa Laval Tri-Clover Valves 700 Series Application

Dependable design

Alfa Laval Tri-Clover 700 Series valves feature a durable and dependable design with rugged plastic stem bushings, which eliminate metal-to-metal galling. In addition, the stem is threaded to the actuator shaft, eliminating the coupling between the stem and actuator, thereby ensuring proper alignment. Bushings at each end of the cylinder support stem also ensure perfect alignment. Finally, each valve features a heavy-duty bonnet and body ferrule design that will stand up to years of pounding from hydraulic shock.

A variety of styles and sizes

Alfa Laval Tri-Clover 700 Series Valve are available in both long and short actuators, including a wide selection of shut-off and divert valves. Sizes range from 2 in (50 mm) to 4 in (102 mm), in normally opened or closed positions. A 32Ra surface finish is standard, with several valve body combination options to choose from.

Helping fill your valve project gaps

Even in this era of continuous mixproof processing, Alfa Laval Tri-Clover Valves 700 Series are the perfect valve project gap filler. Specifically, if a simple divert valve is needed, consider a 761 divert valve. Or, if a section of your process requires flow diversion, install a series of 762 Flow Diversion valves as shown.
