Theory of Operation: Single Seat Valves

Single seat valves from SPX Flow (Waukesha Cherry-Burrell) operate by using a pneumatic (or manual) actuator to move a valve stem and plug on and off a single seat, creating a tight shutoff when closed and a full-bore flow path when open for efficient product transfer and CIP circulation.

In shut-off/divert/tank outlet service (W60), the valve simply opens or closes to stop flow or direct it through the desired line.

For throttling/regulating service (W68/W88), a tapered stem/seat geometry and typically a positioner allow controlled, repeatable modulation of flow, pressure, or level.

For aseptic applications (W80), a stem flush adapter adds a liquid or steam barrier around the stem to help protect the product zone while minimizing crevices near the seal area.

For over-pressure protection (WR60/WR80), the valve functions as a relief device that “cracks” open at an adjustable set pressure to protect pumps and piping, and can be fully opened for CIP without over-pressurizing the system.
