Unique SSV Aseptic 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 modular design is not only cost-effective but also offers numerous options for creating customised Seat Valves that adhere to stringent hygiene and aseptic standards. The bodies, plugs, and actuators of Unique SSVs can be tailored to fulfill nearly any specific requirement.

Superior Valve Process Safety

The Unique SSV range is based on a reliable modular platform that has been utilised in over a million Valves globally. Made from a single stainless steel disc, the Valve body is exceptionally strong and durable, ensuring production safety. Additionally, the improved actuator performance enhances operational safety and efficiency.

Exceptional Valve Hygiene

The Unique SSV range is designed to ensure superior hygiene and cleanability. Featuring a surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.8μm, the smooth, weld-free Valve body eliminates crevices that could harbor bacteria. The plug design facilitates enhanced cleaning-in-place, while a double-acting lip seal reduces the risk of cross-contamination.

Alfa Laval Unique SSV Valves comply with various hygienic standards required in the dairy, food and beverage, and personal care sectors. This range is EHEDG-certified and authorised to display the 3-A symbol, ensuring full traceability in accordance with EU Food Regulation 1935/2004.

Greater Valve Durability

To achieve 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 greatly minimises wear and prolongs the service life of the Valve. The standard Unique SSV comes equipped with a semi-maintainable actuator that includes a five-year warranty.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

With its simple and dependable design, the Unique SSV range ensures a long service life, minimised product loss, enhanced product safety, and increased processing uptime. Additionally, the Valve’s limited number of moving parts reduces service requirements and inventory costs. Improved cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures lead to shorter cleaning cycles and decreased consumption of cleaning fluids, water, and utilities, all of which contribute to the low total cost of ownership of the Unique SSV Valves.

How Unique SSV Aseptic Valve Works

The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Aseptic is operated by means of compressed air from a remote location. The actuator smooths operation and protects process lines against pressure peaks. An integrated Valve plug/diaphragm secures aseptic operation. The Valve can be controlled using an Alfa Laval ThinkTop®.
