Easy Home Laval

[Ezekiel Tulagan]

TheAlfa Laval Unique Flexbody is a flexible in-line instrument housing for hygienic fluid processing lines that easily install into any piping system and enhance monitoring and control. Position up to two control or measurement instruments or sight glasses into each in-line housing. Its simple, no-dead-zone design make Unique Flexbody easy to use, maintain and clean.

Compact and modular, Unique Flexbody is simplicity at its best. Connections are independent of pipe diameters and process variables; only two connection sizes fit all instrumentation and sight glasses. Instrumentation is interchangeable and easy to remove for calibration or replacement without welding.

The Unique Flexbody has two openings to accommodate two instruments or sight glasses at the same time. When one or both of the openings is not being used for measurement or visual monitoring, hygienic blind caps can seal the process connections.

Alfa Laval offers a comprehensive range of instrumentation including temperature instruments, pressure instruments, level instruments, and sight glasses. These are intended for use in hygienic applications in the dairy, food, beverage, home care, personal care, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Alfa Laval's hygienic equipment combines high performance with gentle handling to preserve sensitive ingredients and keep up with food industry trends. The equipment addresses four key challenges; supplying food products to consumers at a competitive price, getting the most from raw materials, reducing waste and emissions, and delivering safe and hygienic food products.

Alfa Laval butterfly valves are high-performance shut-off valves for use in stainless steel pipe systems of hygienic and high-purity process applications. Its substantial opening area and low flow resistance ensure easy passage of low- to medium-viscosity liquids or liquids containing solids through the valve. This boosts productivity whilst minimizing the use of energy. Perfect for use across the food, beverage, home-personal care, biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

For manual operation, the valves come with handles available in different configurations and optional position indication units. For automated operation, pneumatic actuators are available in different configurations. Across all applications, actuators can be combined with intelligent valve control units that have auto setup capabilities.

Alfa Laval butterfly valves can be operated either by means of a pneumatic actuator from a remote location or manually operated by means of a handle. The actuator comes in three standard versions: normally closed (NC); normally open (NO); and, air/air activated (A/A).

For automatic operation, a pneumatic actuator converts the motion of the axial piston into a 90 rotation of the shaft. The actuator torque increases as the valve disc comes into contact with the seal ring of the butterfly valve to secure proper closing of the valve seat.

For manual operation, a handle mechanically locks the valve in open or closed position. Two-position, four-position, regulating 90-position, and multi-position handles are available. Manual valves can also be mounted with indication units for feedback on the valve position (open/closed).

Options for superior flow control, hygiene, durability and reliability of Alfa Laval butterfly valves, there are automation units with built-in actuators or intelligent valve control units for smart valve control.

Make your processes more efficient and more sustainable while achieving regulatory compliance and ensuring your business thrives. With Sustainable Optimization from Alfa Laval, you can save up to 80% in energy savings as well as 90% in water savings and cleaning media, while minimizing waste. Good for people. Good for planet. Good for profitability.

Alfa Laval OptiLobe rotary lobe pumps are cost-effective alternatives for general applications requiring gentle product treatment and easy serviceability. Versatile, reliable and energy-efficient, these hygienic positive displacement pumps enhance both process flexibility and operational reliability.

Factory-set shimming makes changing the rotor easy without the need to adjustment or retiming. Parts replacement, when required, is also simplified; high-precision components are interchangeable for pumps of the same size.

The movement of the counter-rotating rotors creates a partial vacuum that allows atmospheric pressure or other external pressures to force fluid into the pump chamber. As the rotors revolve, an expanding cavity forms, filling with fluid. As the blades disengage, each dwell forms a cavity. As the rotor blades engage, the cavity diminishes and fluid is, displaced into the outlet port.

Alfa Laval rotary lobe pumps are positive displacement pumps with rotor case, rotor case cover, rotors, rotor nuts, shafts, gearbox and shaft seals and elastomers. The pumps operate with no internal contacting parts in the pump head.

The standard materials of construction are 316L stainless steel for all wetted parts, all stainless-steel exterior, and EPDM for all product-wetted elastomers. EasyFit shaft seals are fully front-loading, and high-precision machine components are interchangeable for pumps of the same size.

Designed for use in the dairy, food, beverage, home care, personal care, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industries, these versatile pumps are an excellent choice for duties that require gentle product treatment and easy serviceability.

Hi Jenny, I love your fall-off-the-bone Ribs, that is the only BQQ Rib recipe I have used for about 3 years now. I was wondering if this can be baked in a 913 pan and if it can be do I need to double the recipe?

Jenny Jones;

I have made your easy &quick chocolate cake at home 3 times now and each time I have have made your cake with the 2 minute frosting and the cake turned out perfect and tasted really good.I was wondering if your chocolate cake can be made into cupcakes with the 2 minute chocolate frosting.

Jenny;

Hi,I have made your easy chocolate cake twice in 2022 and the cake turned out perfect and it tasted really good with your 2 minute chocolate frosting on top of the cake.

I was wondering if the easy chocolate cake can be put in muffin pans or mini muffin pans.What should the temperature be to bake the muffins in the mini muffin pans

Hi Jenny,

I have been a little hesitant about making this cake because of the 1 cup of water. It seems to me that that would make it too thin and wet. Everyone seems to love it though, so it must be OK. Would milk or buttermilk work?

Yes, I freeze it all the time. I slice it into serving wedges, place the wedges on a wax-paper covered cutting board and place in the freezer. Once they are frozen, I remove them from the board and place them into a freezer bag.

My husband and I love this cake and it is just the right size for two people for a few days. I have made it numerous times. I was curious about the nutrition information since we need to both watch our fat and salt levels.

Help! I want to take this cake to a group dinner. Can I double the recipe and use a 9 x 13 baking pan?

And seems to me it would work, but I hate to take a chance since I I will be serving other people with it

Thanks,

Jill

This cake is sensational. I used the recipe yesterday to make a birthday cake. The proportions and baking time are perfect. Parchment paper for the bottom of the pan and butter on the sides of the pan makes the cake easy to remove.

Hi,I just finished making your chocolate cake and I made the chocolate icing and decorated it and it tasted really good.Now there is 7 slices of the cake to share my cake with my family and cousins.

I am going to make some more recipes from your website soon.

I wanted to see if I could take this recipe and make them as cupcakes, and of course the answer was: Yes! This recipe can make 15 cupcakes, and you bake them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. I have gotten great compliments about how moist and delicious they are- thank you Jenny Jones- this is one of my favorite recipes to make, and you are correct, it is so very easy to make!

Jenny Jones;

Hi,after successfully making your easy chocolate cake with the chocolate icing on top of the cake on Jan.15th 2021,it was so delicious and a good tasting cake that I am going to make the chocolate cake and icing today at home.

Hi MS. Santana here I follow you on YouTube and your recipes are great and healthy. Thank you for letting us enjoy a better way of eating. Can a person substituted vegan milk like oat milk for your chocolate cake recipe ?

These were such good additions! I took your advice and added chopped pecans and orange zest, also baked this is two pans in a 340 degree oven for 20 minutes and it came out perfectly. I frosted it with whipped cream cream cheese frosting and it was so moist, light and delicious! With these tweaks this is now my favorite chocolate cake recipe. Thank you!

Jenny

I made this chocolate cake and it was so easy and tasted fantastic.

I did substitute apple sauce for the oil and used Splenda for the sugar to make it a little more healthier. It was so moist and chocolatey.

Thank you Jenny for this delicious recipe! My boys really enjoyed this cake. A huge thank you for the dairy free find. I still can not believe how moist and flavorful this cake is. This is our now go to cake recipe.

not sure what happened, was excited to try the cake based on so many good reviews. Only recipe differences were I used lime juice instead of lemon juice and did 88 sq in pan. Like some others have stated cake sunk in the middle about 4in circle in diameter so looks a bit like a volcano. Baked for 32 minutes and toothpick came out clean but cake is very sticky (despite greasing pan) and hard to get out of pan. Some said this may be due to over mixing the batter but in the cake itself there are small white blobs that look like flour never get mixed. Taste is okay but texture is too moist and sticky. Any ideas?
