Alfa Laval LKAP Air-Operated Valve
The LKAP pneumatic valve is a remote-controlled shut-off valve, widely used for small flows and for dosing applications in food, chemical and other industries.
Product Description
Working principle
The valve is operated by means of compressed air and has spring return. It has few and simple moving parts which results in a very reliable valve.
Standard Design
LKAP consists of actuator with air cylinder and piston, double lipseal for stem, stem unit with replaceable O-ring in the plug, and valve body with welding connections. It has visual indication of the valve position and is available with 2 (LKAP-V) or 3 ports (LKAP-T). A reed switch unit for indication of open and closed positions is available. The valve can be ordered as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) versions.
NC is standard.
The LKAP valve come in DN/OD 25 mm.
The LKAP valve come in DN/OD 1”.
