Unique SSV Tangencial
La válvula Alfa Laval Unique SSV Tangential es una válvula neumática de un solo asiento, versátil y fiable, que cuenta con una única superficie de contacto entre el obturador y el asiento para minimizar el riesgo de contaminación. Su diseño compacto, modular e higiénico cumple con las más exigentes requisitos de los procesos en materia de higiene y seguridad.
Diseñado para su uso en aberturas de depósitos, desagües montados horizontalmente y en espacios reducidos
- Higiene y durabilidad excepcionales de las válvulas
- Fácil limpieza: cuerpo interior de la válvula liso y sin hendiduras
- Mayor vida útil de la junta gracias a la compresión definida de la misma
- Mayor seguridad del producto gracias a la detección de fugas en las juntas estáticas
- Protección contra el vacío total gracias al sello de doble labio
Basada en la probada plataforma Unique SSV, permite un vaciado completo del cuerpo de la válvula cerca de las aberturas de los depósitos, en conexiones montadas horizontalmente o en cualquier lugar donde las restricciones de espacio dificulten la instalación de válvulas en otros ángulos. El reducido número de piezas móviles garantiza un mantenimiento sencillo, una alta fiabilidad y un bajo coste total de propiedad. Una amplia gama de características opcionales permite la personalización según los requisitos específicos del proceso. Esta válvula Unique SSV Tangential está diseñada para proporcionar una drenabilidad completa del cuerpo de la válvula cuando el espacio es limitado en aplicaciones higiénicas de las industrias láctea, alimentaria, de bebidas, cervecera y muchas otras.
How does the Unique SSV Tangential valve work
Operating principle
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV is an air-operated seat valve that is remotely operated by means of compressed air. The valve generally has two working ports for air supply in and for process air supply; for changeover valves, a third port is required.
Unique valve body

Versatile and reliable single seat valve
Alfa Laval Unique single seat valves (SSVs) are robust and reliable pneumatic seat valves 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.
Our Selection Guide illustrates the many combinations of features and types available with the Unique SSV valve range.
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. The enhanced performance of the actuator makes operation safer and more efficient.
Exceptional valve hygiene
The Unique SSV range is engineered to provide excellent hygiene and cleanability. With a surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.8μm, the smooth, weld-free valve body eliminates crevices that can trap bacteria. The design of the plug supports enhanced cleaning-in-place capabilities, and a double-acting lip seal that minimizes any 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 authorized to carry the 3-A symbol. The range also provides full traceability in compliance with the 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.
Construction
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV range consists of one, two or three valve bodies, plug, sealing, actuator and clamp ring.
