Pressure Relief Valve - UF4 Series

FEATURES

Benefits:

Optimum cleanability​

  • No dead spaces in the valve body​
  • No stroke limitation by seat lift actuator; the full opening cross section is available during cleaning​
  • 3-A approved designs available / Designed to EHEDG guidelines​
  • All product-contact parts are made of AISI 316L / DIN EN 1.4404 stainless steel.

Minimize Downtime​

  • Enhanced control for improved response to pressure relief events (through proximity switches or through control unit feedback)​
  • All valves come with a seal lifting function to open the valve during cleaning operation which helps minimize downtime​
  • Clamps allow for a service friendly design ​

Optimize your process ​

  • Protect your pump with an external over-pressure relief valve. If pump discharge pressure exceeds the set cracking-pressure, the valve will open to a relief path​
  • The modulating cone of the UFR4 valve provides for slower, smoother closing of the valve when low flow is expected and prevent pressure hammers​
  • Leverage the breadth of options to standardize your operations: can be supplied in nominal diameters from DN25 to DN100 and ISO 1" to 4"​

Feature:​

  • Ball shaped valve body with smooth passages, i.e., no sump and dome, making CIP-cleaning more efficient and more reliable. 
  • Seat lift actuator as a standard offering with feedback switches on top of the actuator. 
  • UF4/UFR4 replacement insert fits into existing UF3/UFR3 housing making an easy upgrades to next generation with improved features. 
  • Wide range of pressure settings can be achieved using four different actuators. 
  • UF4 maintenance free actuator minimizes maintenance costs and downtime 
  • The metal stop ensures defined compression of the seat seal, reducing material stress.  
  • The UF4/UFR4 valves can be delivered with a comprehensive range of CU4, CU4plus control units.  
Key Applications

The UF Series pressure relief valve is designed to protect installations against excess pressure

  • Dairy
  • Beverage
  • Brewery
  • Chemical
  • Cleaning In Place (CIP)
  • Specifications
  • Options
  • Performance

Materials:

  • Product wetted parts: 316L, 1.4404 (DIN EN 10088) 
  • Non-Product wetted parts: 304, 1.4301 (DIN EN 10088) 
  • Seal: EPDM, HNBR, FPM (FDA Compliant) 
  • Internal Surface Finish: ≤32 Ra (≤0.8µ)

Sizes:  

  •  1” – 4” O.D. Tube 
  •  DN25 – DN 100

Pressure Ratings: 

  • Operating Pressure: 0 – 10 BAR 

Temperature Ratings:

  • EPDM, HNBR - 275ºF (135ºC), short time - 284ºF (140ºC)  
  • FPM (not to be used for hot water) - 212ºF (100ºC) 

Wide range of housing/body configurations

  • Comprehensive range of valve housings are available to cover any requests. 

Control Unit:

  • The UF4/UFR4 valves can be delivered with a comprehensive range of CU4, CU4plus control units. The CU4, CU4plus are electrically provided to connect direct (DC) to a PLC system (CU4, CU4plus Direct connect) and to fieldbus protocols such as AS-i.  Additionally, CU4plus also supports fieldbus protocol such as IO-link. 

Proximity switch:

  • Proximity switches detects valve full open or close condition during any required CIP cleaning.

Regulating (controlled) cone variant:

  • Optimized control cone design provides slower, smoother valve closure to avoid water hammers. 

Retrofit kits:

  • Retrofit kits or Replacement inserts fits into existing UF3/UFR3 housings making an easy upgrade to next generation with improved features. 
  • To simplify our designs and offer the use of the CU4 control unit on UF3 valves, UF3 to UF4 retrofit kits are being made available.
  • These retrofit actuator kits, include the UF4 actuator, yoke and stem, are designed to fit directly into legacy UF3 body.
  • UF3 aftermarket parts (including actuators and seal kits) will remain available to service the legacy installed base.  These parts are all available in the manual.​
