Unique SSV Long Stroke Valve Key Features
Versatile and Reliable Single Seat Valve
Alfa Laval Unique Single Seat Valves (SSVs) are robust pneumatic solutions that are supremely reliable and versatile. Modularity provides cost-effective and nearly endless possibilities for purpose-built Seat Valves that meet high standards of hygiene and aseptic compatibility. Configure the Unique SSV Valve bodies, plugs and actuators to meet virtually any requirement.
Tried & Tested Valve Safety
The Unique SSV range is built on a proven modular platform used on more than a million Valves in service worldwide. Pressed from a single stainless steel disc, the Valve body is extremely strong and durable, thus ensuring production safety. The enhanced performance of the actuator makes operation safer and more efficient.
Exceptional Valve Hygiene
The Unique SSV range provides excellent hygiene and cleanability. A weld-free, Ra ≤ 0.8μm Valve body eliminates bacteria-trapping crevices. The Valve’s design supports enhanced cleaning-in-place, and a double-acting lip seal minimises risk of cross-contamination.
Alfa Laval Unique SSV Valves meet most hygienic standards requested in the dairy, food and beverage, and personal care industries. The Unique SSV range is EHEDG-certified and authorised to carry the 3-A symbol. The range also provides full traceability in compliance with the EU Food Regulation 1935/2004.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
Thanks to its straightforward, reliable design, the Unique SSV range provides long service life, reduced product loss, greater product safety and more processing uptime. In addition, service requirements and inventory costs are reduced as the Valve has only few moving parts. More effective CIP procedures with reduced cleaning cycles and, subsequently, the reduced use of cleaning fluids, water and utilities also contribute to the Unique SSV Valves ’low total cost of ownership.
How the Unique SSV Long Stroke Valve Works
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Long Stroke is operated by means of compressed air from a remote location. The actuator smooths operation and protects process lines against pressure peaks. The Valve can be controlled using an Alfa Laval ThinkTop®.
