Introduction To Sanitary Ball valve

The Alfa Laval Sanitary Ball Valve (SBV) stands out as a hygienic ball valve meticulously designed with a bore diameter matching the pipeline diameter. Its full-bore construction, characterized by zero flow restriction and minimal pressure drop, positions the SBV as the optimal choice for managing high-viscosity or particulate liquids. Additionally, it proves ideal for integration into pigging systems, effectively preventing product waste and optimizing overall plant performance.

SBV Sanitary Ball Valve How It Work

The Alfa Laval SBV sanitary ball valve has a precision-made ball with full bore positioned inside the valve body between two flanges and two PTFE valve seats. A 90celcious rotation of the valve stem enables opening or closing the valve. A specially selected PTFE-grade material secures long lifetime. The use of spring-loaded, self-adjusting seal rings ensures the reliability of the valve stem sealing. Either a pneumatic actuator or a manually-operated handle with lockable positions enables valve operation. Valve screws enable assembly and disassembly for easy inspection and maintenance.
