Alfa Laval Unique SSV Standard Single seat valves

Introduction

Alfa Laval Unique SSV Standard

The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Standard is a versatile, reliable

pneumatic single seat valve with a single contact surface

between the plug and the seat to minimize the risk of

contamination.

Its compact, modular and hygienic design meets the highest

process demands in terms of hygiene and safety. It is built on the

well-proven Alfa Laval Unique SSV platform. Few moving parts

ensure easy maintenance, high reliability and low total cost of

ownership. A wide range of optional features enables

customization to specific process requirements.

Application

This Unique SSV Standard is designed for use in a broad range of

hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage, brewery

and many other industries.

Benefits

• Exceptional valve hygiene and durability

• Superior cleanability – smooth inner valve body without

crevices

• Extended seal life due to the defined seal compression

• Enhanced product safety due to the static seal leak detection

• Protection against full vacuum due to the double lip seal

Standard design

The Unique SSV Standard is available in a one- or two-body

configuration, with easy-to-configure valve bodies, plugs,

actuator and clamp rings. The valve can be configured as a

shutoff valve with two working ports or as a changeover valve with

up to five ports.

To ensure flexibility, the valve seat that sits between the two

bodies in the changeover version is provided for assembly. The

valve seals are optimized for durability and long service life

through a defined compression design. The actuator is connected

to the valve body using a yoke, and all components are

assembled with clamp rings.

The valve can be fitted with Alfa Laval ThinkTop V-series for

sensing and control of the valve. See ThinkTop datasheets for

further details.

Using the Alfa Laval Anytime configurator, it is easy to customize

to meet virtually any process requirement.

Working principle

The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Standard is operated by means of

compressed air from a remote location. The actuator smooths

operation and protects process lines against pressure peaks,

while directing or diverting fluids. The valve can be controlled

using an Alfa Laval ThinkTop®.
