HOW IT WORKS
Neutral position: The Sesame valve incorporates two separate seats for sampling and cleaning/sterilizing,
respectively. In its neutral position, the valve is closed towards the process and the CIP/SIP supply.
Operators can then open the valve for sampling OR cleaning. It is not possible to unintentionally open for CIP/SIP while
sampling, as the sample seat and the steam seat cannot be opened simultaneously.
Cleaning/Sterilizing: The Sesame offers optimal CIP/SIP conditions, allowing a fast and efficient cleaning/sterilization.
When opening the valve for cleaning/sterilization, only the CIP/ SIP seat opens, allowing the cleaning media to enter the
valve chamber. During this process the valve will remain closed towards the process.
Sampling: When opening the valve for sampling, only the sampling seat opens, allowing the product to flow through
the valve. During this process the CIP/SIP inlet is isolated.
Therefore, the sample can never spray out through the CIP/SIP inlet. Furthermore, the sample can be protected from
any airborne contamination by establishing a closed sampling system (e.g. by using KEOFITT sampling bags or bottles).
