Unique SSV ATEX Valve Key Features
Versatile and Reliable Single Seat Valve
Alfa Laval Unique Single Seat Valves (SSVs) are dependable and versatile pneumatic seat Valves known for their robustness. Their modularity offers a cost-effective solution with nearly limitless options for creating custom Seat Valves that adhere to stringent hygiene and aseptic standards. The Unique SSV Valve bodies, plugs, and actuators can be configured to fulfill almost any specific requirement.
Superior Valve Process Safety
The Unique SSV range is constructed on a reliable modular platform that has been utilised in over a million Valves globally. Crafted from a single stainless steel disc, the Valve body is exceptionally robust and durable, ensuring production safety. Additionally, the improved actuator performance enhances both safety and efficiency during operation.
Exceptional Valve Hygiene
The Unique SSV range is designed to ensure exceptional hygiene and cleanability. With a weld-free Valve body that features a surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.8μm, it effectively eliminates crevices that could trap bacteria. The Valve’s design facilitates improved cleaning-in-place, while a double-acting lip seal reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
Alfa Laval Unique SSV Valves comply with most hygienic standards required in the dairy, food and beverage, and personal care industries. This range is EHEDG-certified and authorised to display the 3-A symbol, providing full traceability in accordance with EU Food Regulation 1935/2004.
Greater Valve Durability
To guarantee superior sealing quality, the Unique SSV range incorporates defined compression of the O-rings along with metal-to-metal contact between the plug and seat. This design minimises wear and prolongs the service life of the Valve. The standard Unique SSV is equipped with a semi-maintainable actuator that comes with a five-year warranty.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
With its simple and dependable design, the Unique SSV range offers an extended service life, minimises product loss, enhances product safety, and increases processing uptime. The limited number of moving parts lowers service needs and inventory expenses. Additionally, more efficient cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures result in shorter cleaning cycles, leading to decreased consumption of cleaning fluids, water, and utilities, all of which further contribute to the Unique SSV’s low total cost of ownership.
How the Unique SSV ATEX Valve Works
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV ATEX Standard is a hygienic pneumatic Single Seat Valve that is remotely operated by means of compressed air. The actuator smooths operation and protects process lines against pressure peaks. The Valve can be controlled using an Alfa Laval ThinkTop® Basic Intrinsically Safe.
