Compact and intelligent, ThinkTop® D30 is an easy-to-install integrated control unit for sanitary applications. It is a cost-effective alternative for use where space is limited and operational simplicity and reliability is important.
A plug ‘n play solution, Alfa Laval ThinkTop D30 offers a no-hassle intuitive control unit with simple functionality. For automated control of sanitary valves, it can be used in standard food, dairy and brewery installations and for general applications where non-critical valves are used.
Like the premium ThinkTop and standard ThinkTop Basic units, ThinkTop D30 offers a durable watertight design, proven safety and low total cost of ownership. This reliable control unit offers an economical alternative to conventional valve monitoring and control solutions as well as a smart, affordable alternative to panels with external solenoid valves.
The ThinkTop D30 features a digital interface, which makes it possible to enhance monitoring of air loss or leakage, and a 360-degree visual status indicator. This contributes to more stable operation of hygienic processes, enhanced product quality and more uptime.
Installation and commissioning is quick and easy due to few termination points. With its compact 75mm-high, 105mm-in-diameter profile, the ThinkTop D30 easily fits into most installations, and its 60mm stroke length fits most actuators. This cuts both the time and costs associated with valve control for hygienic installations as well as installation using bracket, inductive sensors and external solenoid valves.
Simply position the unit directly on top of the valve actuator, connect the air and then connect the cable to the PLC system. No special expertise, adapters or tools is required. The pre-set tolerance band eliminates the need to adjust the feedback position at regular intervals.
The ThinkTop D30 withstands the effects of physical impact, vibration, water hammer, thermal variation and pressure shock. Because it is watertight and IP66- and IP67-compliant, the ThinkTop D30 prevents condensation and the penetration of dust, water and other particles into the control head.
The control head can therefore be hosed down with water or cleaning fluid without affecting the preconfigured settings. This contributes to maximum hygiene and effectively eliminates problems associated with corrosion and external contamination.
