Leakage Control of the Moving O-Ring Seal of Arc Valves

For the highest level of product safety, LAUFER Free Flow Arc Valves are available with an integrated leakage control system for the dynamic O-ring seal. This specialized design detects potential wear or seal defects early and prevents contamination from the external environment, ensuring hygienic integrity in aseptic processes.

The leakage chamber can function either as a steam barrier or be equipped with level conductor control (via glycerine dilution) for continuous monitoring. This added layer of protection makes LIAG® Leakage Control Arc Valves ideal for applications handling sensitive or high-purity media where reliability and cleanliness are critical.
