Alfa Laval hygienic valve portfolio

Alfa Laval is expanding its hygienic valve portfolio by introducing the Unique SSV Pressure Relief Valve and the Leakage Detection Butterfly Valve, alongside new smaller sizes of the Unique Mixproof CIP and Unique Mixproof Process valves.

The valves are designed to be suitable for manufacturers in the dairy, food, beverage, and home and personal care industries. 

The Unique SSV Pressure Relief Valve is designed to protect hygienic processing lines, particularly those with positive displacement pumps, from overpressure. Built on the SSV platform, the modular valve shares spare parts with other valves on the platform to help simplify maintenance and reduce service costs. The valve is also suitable for CIP regardless of the pressure setting.

When the Leakage Detection Butterfly Valve is powered by an Alfa Laval ThinkTop for valve monitoring and control, it is designed to enhance reliability due to real-time valve monitoring and control. A single seal, disc and actuator make the valve compact and lightweight while reducing installation, operating and maintenance costs. It is also suitable for CIP.

Alfa Laval is also extending its Unique Mixproof range with two new sizes — 1″ (DN25) and 1½″ (DN40) — of the Unique Mixproof CIP and Mixproof Process valves. These smaller double-seat mixproof valves can provider high cleanability, pressure resistance and adaptability to meet diverse hygienic processing needs. The new sizes are designed to help manufacturers integrate more compact CIP skids, valve matrices and dosing lines into hygienic processing lines while maintaining safety.
