2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
Aseptic leakage valves are mix-proof switch elements for aseptic process
systems and permit the safe separation of incompatible media. The media
separation is done via the integrated sterile chamber (ISB), which is separated
hermetically from the atmosphere with a seal each to both product lines and via
two side valves (inlet and outlet). Any leakage at the sealing elements is diverted
through the side valves.
For safe operation, it is mandatory that the following points are observed in the
different process steps:
Transfer
During a media transfer through the main valve both side valves must be closed
completely.
Fig.1: Product transfer
Cleaning sterile chamber
After a media transfer the sterile chamber must be flushed at least with one
sterile medium. After the main valve has been closed, both side valves can be
put in the open position and thus permit the flushing of the sterile chamber.
Fig.2: Sterilisation after transfer
Safety
Intended use
430BAL012841EN_1

CIP cleaning with seat venting (valve type AZ)
If the seat venting is activated for a CIP cleaning (preferably in cycles) no process
must be running in the opposite line. Furthermore, at least one side valve of the
sterile chamber must be open to drain the CIP medium.
Fig.3: Cleaning valve seat B
Pressure hammers and excessive control air pressure (>8 bar) can damage the
bellow. Therefore, Aseptic Leakage Valves (ADV) should if possible, close
against the flow direction of the medium. Should this not be possible due to
technical reasons related to the plant or process, it is recommended to switch the
valve without pressure. Both measures prevent pressure hammers when the
valve is opened or closed.
The valve is monitored, controlled and operated by the customer's system.
Hint!
The manufacturer will not accept any liability for damage resulting
from any use of the valve which is not in accordance with the
designated use of the valve. The risk of such misuse lies entirely with
the operator of the facility.
2.1.1 Requirements for operation
The prerequisite for reliable and safe operation of the component is proper
transportation and storage as well as professional installation and assembly.

3.2 Valve Identification
Reference numbers from the following number systems are assigned to each part
of components from GEA Aseptomag AG. The reference numbers can be used to
clearly identify a component and its composition.
Number
(Example) Designation Description
0001 14 Serial valve
number
The valve serial number is the easiest and most definite
way to identify a component from GEA Aseptomag AG.
This number is unique and allows all components
installed at the time of delivery to be identified. The first
four digits represent a chronological, ascending number,
the last two digits provide information about the year of
manufacture. The valve's serial number is indicated on a
round white sticker affixed to the actuator.
0001 14 Serial number
main components
The serial number has the same structure as the valve's
serial number, but it is placed on the relevant main
component (housing, internal assembly, actuator) by
laser marking / stamping.
V-50-1001 Drawing number The drawing number is a combination of two groups. The
digits in front of the hyphen refer to where the
components belong to. The next four numbers describe
the part in more detail. For this purpose, the main
component groups of a valve are assigned to various
groups:
•V-xx-0xxx = entire valves
•V-xx-1xxx = valve housings
•V-xx-2xxx = internal assemblies
•V-xx-3xxx = actuators
•V-xx-4xxx = feedback units / accessories
Each of these main components is marked and can be uniquely identified.
! Other markings on components of the valve, such as on connectors, arise from
the production process and are not relevant.
