Overview
The Waukesha Cherry Burrell W262TT is a single-seat HTST (High Temperature Short Time) flow diversion valve designed for critical sanitary processing applications. Manufactured by SPX FLOW, this valve delivers reliable product diversion in food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical operations where cleanability and product integrity are essential. The W262TT features dual stem flow control with air-to-spring actuation and microswitch feedback for process monitoring and PMO (Positive Material Identification) compliance.
Key Features
- HTST Rated Design: Engineered for high-temperature short-time pasteurization and processing applications with flush ports for superior cleanability
- Dual Stem Flow Diversion: Provides reliable product separation with integrated leak detection valve for system integrity verification
- Air-to-Spring Actuation: Spring holds valve in divert position; air pressure positions valve in forward flow mode for flexible process control
- Sanitary Construction: Stainless steel body with snap-on Tef-Flow® seat rings and electropolished internal surfaces for food-grade sanitary standards
- Microswitch Feedback: Integrated proximity switches provide position indication for control system integration and validation
- S-Clamp Connections: Standard S-line clamp connections with optional I-clamp availability for system flexibility
Technical Specifications
The W262TT diversion valve assembly integrates a primary divert valve and leak detect valve in one interconnected body, enabling three operating modes: divert, flush, and forward flow. Control air must have an appropriately low dew point per SPX FLOW installation guidelines. The valve body design allows free draining and permits both inspection mode and continuous process operation. FKM and EPDM seal materials ensure FDA compliance for food and pharmaceutical contact surfaces.
Typical Applications
- Dairy processing and milk pasteurization systems (HTST)
