Keofitt Sampling Valve - Sesame
HD Process are the official distributor for Keofitt Products. Sesame valves are an upgrade to the W9 Head. The Sesame valve is designed for simplified use with all the benefits of the W9. With three modes on the head of the valve.
Neutral position:
The Sesame valve incorporates two separate seats for sampling and cleaning/sterilizing, respectively. In its neutral position, the valve is closed towards the process and the CIP/SIP supply. Operators can then open the valve for sampling OR cleaning. It is not possible to unintentionally open for CIP/SIP while sampling, as the sample seat and the steam seat cannot be opened simultaneously.
Cleaning/Sterilizing:
The Sesame offers optimal CIP/SIP conditions, allowing a fast and efficient cleaning/sterilization. When opening the valve for cleaning/sterilization, only the CIP/ SIP seat opens, allowing the cleaning media to enter the valve chamber. During this process the valve will remain closed towards the process.
Sampling:
When opening the valve for sampling, only the sampling seat opens, allowing the product to flow through the valve. During this process the CIP/SIP inlet is isolated. Therefore, the sample can never spray out through the CIP/SIP inlet. Furthermore, the sample can be protected from any airborne contamination by establishing a closed sampling system (e.g. by using KEOFITT sampling bags or bottles).
The Sesame sits above the W9 in capacity and performance, making it the preferred choice for high‑viscosity or complex media.
