Unique SSV Manually Operated Valve Key Features
Versatile and Reliable Single Seat Valve
Alfa Laval Unique Single Seat Valves (SSVs) are versatile, robust and reliable pneumatic Seat Valves. 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.
Superior Valve Process 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.
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 hygienic standards in the dairy, food and beverage, and personal care industries. The range is EHEDG-certified, authorised to carry the 3-A symbol, and provides full traceability in compliance with EU Food Regulation 1935/2004.
Greater Valve Durability
To ensure high sealing quality, the Unique SSV range features defined compression of the O-rings with metal-to-metal contact between plug and seat. This significantly reduces wear and extends Valve service life. The standard Unique SSV is supplied with a semi-maintainable actuator that has a five-year warranty.
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. Few moving parts reduce service requirements and inventory costs. 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’s low total cost of ownership.
How the Unique SSV Manually Operated Valve Works
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Manually Operated Valve operates manually using a crank mechanism to control pressure and flow through gradual opening and closing.
