The Optimum Choice for Viscous Liquids
SBV Sanitary Ball Valve
SBV with actuator and ThinkTop® (option)Manually operated SBV

Application

SBV is a sanitary ball valve designed for use as a product valve. The valve is suitable for applications within food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
The full bore design with zero flow restriction makes SBV the optimum choice for viscous or particulate liquids.

Working principle

A precision made ball with a bore is positioned inside the valve body between two flanges and two PTFE valve seats. A 90° rotation of the valve stem is transferred to the ball and thereby opening or closing the valve.
SBV is operated by a pneumatic actuator or manually operated by means of a handle.

Standard Design

SBV consists of a valve body, two flanges, PTFE valve seats, ball, stem unit and a handle or bonnet and actuator unit. SBV is a full bore valve with a constant pipeline diameter and a flow restriction comparable to that of a straight tube. A special selected PTFE material grade secures long lifetime of the product wetted seals. Reliable valve stem sealing is achieved by the use of spring loaded and self adjusting seal rings.

The standard actuator is prepared for position indication with inductive proximity switches. A special actuator (option) is designed for mounting of the Alfa Laval ThinkTop®. The actuator is maintenance free.
Two inspection holes in the bonnet connecting valve body and actuator allow for easy inspection of the stem seal tightness. Actuated valves are delivered NC (normally closed) and are easily rebuilt to NO (normally open).

The stainless steel handle for manual operation mechanically locks the valve in open or closed position. The valve is assembled with screws for easy inspection and maintenance.
