Unique SSV Tank Outlet
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Tank Outlet is a versatile and dependable pneumatic single-seat valve with a single point of contact between the plug and seat, which reduces the risk of contamination. Its hygienic, versatile, and space-saving design meets the strictest process safety and cleanliness requirements.
It is built on the tried-and-true Alfa Laval Unique SSV platform and is ideal for installations that either increase or decrease product flow into the tank. The minimal moving parts assure ease of maintenance, high reliability, and a low total cost of ownership. Its comprehensive range of supplementary features allows it to be adapted to the needs of certain procedures. In sanitary applications spanning the dairy, food, beverage, brewing, and many more industries, the Unique SSV Tank Outlet can be utilized as a shut-off valve to close product flow from a tank or as a reverse-acting valve to open product flow into a tank.

Standard Principle
The Alfa Laval Unique SSV Tank Outlet valve has a one-body design that includes plugs, actuators, clamp rings, and up to two ports. A defined compression design optimizes the valve seals for durability and long service life while maintaining flexibility. Clamp rings hold the actuator to the valve body, and a yoke links the two.
A tank flange can be ordered as an accessory. The usual installation involves welding it directly into the tank. On request, it can give an inspection certificate 3.1 in compliance with EN10204 as well as TÜV certification AD 2000. The Alfa Laval ThinkTop V50 and V70 can be used to provide extra sensing and control options for the valve. The Alfa Laval Anytime configurator makes it simple to tailor to virtually any process requirement.
Working Principle
Compressed air is utilized to power the Alfa Laval Unique SSV Tank Outlet from a distance. An Alfa Laval ThinkTop can be utilized to operate the valve.
