Standard design
The Unique SSV Standard is available in a one- or two-body configuration, with easy-to-configure valve bodies, plugs, actuator and clamp rings. The valve can be configured as a shutoff valve with two working ports or as a changeover valve with up to five ports.
To ensure flexibility, the valve seat that sits between the two bodies in the changeover version is provided for assembly. The valve seals are optimized for durability and long service life through a defined compression design. The actuator is connected to the valve body using a yoke, and all components are assembled with clamp rings.
Working principle
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Standard is operated by means of compressed air from a remote location. The actuator smooths operation and protects process lines against pressure peaks, while directing or diverting fluids. The valve can be controlled using an Alfa Laval ThinkTop®.

Designed for efficient emptying of the drum to minimize waste
Ingredients are supplied in drums (buckets, containers or barrels). To empty the drum as thoroughly as possible, a lance is placed inside the drum and used to suck up the ingredient – enabled by the vacuum in the mixer. This prevents the waste of costly ingredients. Once production is complete, the lance is placed in the CIP station and cleaned in the CIP loop together with the Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer.
