Rubber Materials
In order to obtain the longest possible lifetime for rubber seals it is essential to choose the right quality for the actual duty.
Consequently when choosing rubber quality, the characteristics of the different rubber types should be considered. All product
wetted rubber material are in conformity of FDA.

EPDM Rubber (Ethylene Propylene)

EPDM rubber is widely used within the food industry as it is resistant to most products used in this sector. Another advantage is
that it may be used to a recommend max. temperatures of 140°C (244°F). However, there is one essential limitation, EPDM is
not resistant to organic and non-organic oils and fats.

Actylonitrile Butadiene Rubber, NBR

NBR is the rubber type most frequently used for technical purposes. It is quite resistant to most hydrocarbons, e.g oil, grease
and fat. It is sufficiently resistant to diluted lye and nitric acid and may be used to a recommended max. 95°C (203°F). As NBR is
attacked by ozone it may not be exposed to ultraviolet rays and should thus consequently be stored so that this is avoided.

Silicone rubber, Q
The most significant quality of silicone rubber is that it can be applied from temperatures below -50°C (-58°F) to approx.
+ 180°C (356°F) and still keep its elasticity. The chemical resistance is satisfactory to most products. However, undiluted lye and
acids as well as hot water and steam may destroy silicone rubber. The resistance to ozone is good.

Fluorine rubber, FPM

FPM is often used when other rubber types are unsuited, especially at high temperatures up to approx. 180°C (356°F). The
chemical resistance is good to most products, however hot water, steam, lye, acid and alcohol should be avoided. The
resistance to ozone is good.

Hydrogenated actylonitrileButadiene Rubber, HNBR

Mechanically strong and normally resistant to ozone and strong oxidizers, animal and vegetable fats, nonpolar solvents, oils and
lubricants, water and aqueous solutions. The recommend max. temperature is 130°C (266°F).

Perfluoroalkoxy polymer, PFA

PFA is very similar to PTFE, but opposite to those PFA is thermo plastic and has minimal porosity. PFA has a very high
mechanical strength which makes it a perfect choice when dealing with abbrasive products. The PFA seal offers longer service
intervals. The recommended max. temperature for the PFA seal is 90°C (194°F).
Product and chemical resistance of flexible rubber materials
The information below is intended as an aid in selecting the best rubber quality for an actual application. It is not possible to
state any general lifetime of rubber seals as many factors influence it: chemical attack, temperature, mechanical wear etc.
Extreme temperatures, even within the generally accepted limits, may worsen other kinds of attack and thus reduce the lifetime.

Ratings
1 = Unsuitable.

2 = Limited suitability.

3 = Normal suitability.

4 = High suitability.

- = Not recommended for other reasons.

The table contains data which have been compiled from the results of our own tests and the recommendations of our raw
material suppliers. The data should be considered as recommendations only and will be brought up-to-date from time to time.

Alfa Laval LKSF
Filters and strainers

Introduction
The Alfa Laval LKSF Slot Strainer is a filter which separates
solid matter from liquid that flows through it. The impurities are
stopped by the filter element. When the filter is full of particles,
it can be cleaned by removing the clamp and pulling out the
filter element.

Application
The LKSF Slot Strainer is designed to fulfil basic filtration
duties in hygienic applications across the dairy, food,
beverage and brewery industries to protect equipment and
product.

Benefits
• Fine filtration
• Easy to install
• Easy to clean
• High durability
• Flexible filter element selection

Standard design

Working principle
Type LKSF-BL: The product enters from the bottom. The filter
element captures impurities. When the filter is full of particles,
it can be cleaned by removing the clamp and pulling out the
filter element. It is also possible to reverse the flow and flush
out the impurities (backflush).

Type LKSF-CL: The product enters the filter from the side.
Most of the impurities collect at the bottom and can be
manually emptied during operation via a valve. Automatic
discharge is also possible using two remote controlled valves

Alfa Laval LKVF Coarse Strainer
Filters and strainers

Introduction
The Alfa Laval LKVF Coarse Strainer is a type of filter used to
remove coarse particles from liquids from 1 to 3 mm.

Application
The Alfa Laval LKVF Coarse Strainer is designed to remove
coarse particles from the liquid flow to protect pumps or other
sensitive equipment from damage. It is used on a wide range
of applications across the dairy, food, beverage and brewery
industries.

Benefits
• Safeguards membrane filtration, pumps and other
equipment from damage
• Easy to install and clean
• High durability
• Flexible filter element selection

Standard design
The LKVF Coarse Strainer consists of a housing with inlet and
outlet. Inside the housing, the filter element is fixed to allow
the flow to be forced through it. This element consists of a
perforated tube which is welded to a flange with a handle.
This flange fits a ferrule on the casing to which it is clamped.

Working principle
The recommended flow direction is to allow the liquid to enter
the inlet (A). The particles strained collect inside the filter
element which facilitates cleaning, especially if the handle
points downwards or if the strainer is installed in a horizontal
position. The liquid leaves the strainer through the side outlet
(B).

However, it is possible to allow the liquid to enter the inlet (B)

since the perforated tube is designed to withstand the
pressure drop in both flow directions. The liquid leaves the
strainer through the outlet (A). If side connection (B) is used as
the inlet, then the maximum product pressure is 7 bar.

The LKIF Inline Strainer consists of a perforated filter element
with filter ring and seal rings. Optional clamp rings, clamp seal
rings, and clamp liner, or DS and SMS unions are available.

Working principle
The Alfa Laval LKIF Inline Strainer is installed in process lines
and removes particles and impurities as the product flows
through the lines. Particles accumulate inside the filter, which
can easily be removed for cleaning. If required, the liquid can
flow in the opposite direction.
