Abstract

The invention relates to a device for actuating double seat valves, which are especially suitable for the food and beverage industry and which have an independently actuated first closing element (3), which is designed as a sliding piston and a fully dependent on this actuated second closing element (4), which is designed as a seat disc, whereby the actuator (100, 200) produces at all times using a main adjustment device (100) for the fully open position (H) as well as, for the case of maximum requirements, the respective individual adjustment devices (200; 200.1, 200.2) which are assigned to the closing elements (3, 4) for generation of the partially open positions (T1, T2) acting in opposite directions for the seat cleaning of the closing elements (3, 4). The object of the invention is to design a device according to this generic type in such a manner that it is constructed as simply as possible and is easily and economically adjustable to the various requirements which are put onto a double seat valve of the type in discussion (only full opening stroke or full opening stroke as well as seat cleaning partial strokes). This is thus achieved in that the individual adjustment device…
