The Alfa Laval Sanitary Ball Valve (SBV) is a hygienic ball valve designed with a bore diameter the same size as the pipeline diameter. The full-bore design with zero flow restriction and minimum pressure drop makes the SBV the optimum choice to handle high-viscosity or particulate liquids. It is also ideal for use in pigging systems to prevent product waste and optimize plant performance.

How does the SBV Sanitary Ball Valve work
Construction
The Alfa Laval SBV sanitary ball valve consists of a valve body, two flanges, PTFE valve seats, ball, stem unit and either a handle for manual operation, or a bonnet and pneumatic actuator for automated operation. For quick and easy inspection and maintenance, the valve easily assembles and disassembles with welded-end flange screws.
Operating principle
A precision-made ball with a bore, or opening, is positioned inside the valve body between two flanges and two PTFE valve seats.
