Valve Type

Function

28

MID actuator

CLT1 inlet

29

MID actuator

Open during CIP cleaning; closed during forward flow so all product goes through regenerative heating system; mid-position during start-up to allow some milk to pass through regenerative heating system.

30

 

spare valve

31

valve positioner

Serves as a flow control device based on output from MM1. When flow is diverted, it partially closes to induce a pressure loss approximately equal to that found in the mechanical components of the system located after the flow diversion valves.  Open when processing mix or milk.

32

actuator

extended hold tube inlet for ice cream mix

33

actuator

extended hold tube outlet for ice cream mix

34

flow diversion

divert valve

35

flow diversion

leak detect

36

valve positioner

Used to by-pass regenerative heating by-pass to keep (cheese) milk warm. Open for cheese milk and yogurt; closed for mix

37

 

spare valve

38

MID actuator

Directs product to separator when open; product by-passes separator when closed; mid position used for CIP operation.

39

throttling valve

controls skim milk back pressure from PS5 signal

40

MID actuator

skim milk shutoff

41

throttling valve

controls regen back pressure from PS3 signal

42

MID actuator

HTST1 to pasteurized tanks PT1 and PT2)

43

MID actuator

HTST1 to cheese vats

44

MID actuator

HTST1 to skim tank (SK1)

45

MID actuator

HTST1 to recycle. Serves as a safety valve that opens if a set pressure limit is exceeded (fails open)

46

MID actuator

HTST1 to drain

MSV 1
