Reflex™ Double Seat sampling valve
The KEOFITT REFLEX Sampling Valve is KEOFITT’s newest and patented double-seat sampling valve. Truly unique in the market, it offers optimal CIP and SIP conditions while also incorporating steam supply control and completely eliminating the steam inlet dead-space in other designs. In a way, it is fair to claim that the REFLEX valve is a CLASSIC valve during steam-sterilization and a SIMPLEX valve during sampling.
The unique feature of this valve is in its membrane design which incorporates two separate seats for sampling and sterilizing/sanitizing, respectively. The second seat is located in the area sealing off the valve head. This design allows the sealing area to be sterilized along with the valve chamber prior to each sampling procedure. Furthermore, no separate inlet is required, thus eliminating any dead space while sampling.
The KEOFITT REFLEX valve is designed for sampling of low or medium viscosity products in the range of 0-1,000 cP with particles less than 2mm in diameter.
