2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
Aseptic stop valves of type AMV are stroke valves and are used for opening and
closing pipes in aseptic process plants in a controlled manner. Welded metal
bellows (or PTFE bellows as an option) are used to hermetically seal the valve
disc. Selected sealing materials in the product chamber ensure optimum
tightness. The valve offers a high degree of process reliability and product quality
in aseptic working processes. The compact and virtually pocket-free design
covers a versatile range of applications in pilot systems and very small plant
construction.
Pressure hammers and excessive control air pressures can destroy the bellows.
Therefore, for valves with pneumatic actuator, the control air pressure should not
exceed 8 bar and pressure hammers in the system should be avoided.
The aseptic stop valve AMV should close against the direction of flow of the
medium if possible. Should this not be possible due to technical reasons related
to the plant or process, the valve must be depressurized. 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 is borne solely by the operating
company.

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.

4 Transport and storage
4.1 Storage conditions
The valves, valve inserts or spare parts should be stored in a dry place, free of
vibrations and dust, and protected from light. To avoid damage, leave the
components in their original packaging if possible.
If, during transport or storage, the valve is going to be exposed to temperatures ≤
0°C, it must be dried beforehand and suitable measures must be taken to protect
it from damage.
Hint!
We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5
°C for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the
housings / activation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by
condensation water can melt.
4.2 Transport
For transport, the following principles apply:
•Only use suitable lifting gear and slings for transporting the package units/
valves.
•Observe the pictograms on the package.
•Handle valves with care to avoid damage caused by impact or careless
loading and unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to
breaking.
•Control tops (if fitted) must be protected from animal and vegetable fats.
•Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
•Movable parts must be properly secured.
•Only use approved, fully functional load lifting devices and lifting accessories
which are suitable for the intended purpose. Observe the maximum load-
bearing capacities.
•Secure the valve against slipping. Take the weight of the valve into account
and the position of the point of gravity.
•Under no circumstances should anyone stand under a suspended load.
•Take care when transporting the valve. Do not grip sensitive parts of the unit
to lift or push the unit or to support yourself. Avoid putting the unit down with a
jerk.
