2 Safety
Unsafe practices and other important information are emphasised in this manual.
Warnings are emphasised by means of special signs.
WARNING
Indicates that special procedures must be followed to avoid serious personal injury.
CAUTION
Indicates that special procedures must be followed to avoid damage to the valve.
NOTE
Indicates important information to simplify or clarify procedures.
General warning
Caustic agents
Danger of injury: (an extra yellow label marked on the actuator from June 2016)
Do NOT attempt to cut the actuator open due to spring under load.
(The lock wire opening is locked).

2 Safety
All warnings in this manual are summarised on this page.
Pay special attention to this instructions below so that severe personal injury and/or damage to the valve are avoided.
Actuators
If support air is utilised:
To prevent shock in the actuator and to prevent exceeding 10 bar/145 PSI product pressure, Alfa Laval recommends NOT to
exceed 3 bar/43.5 PSI support air on the spring side in all the Unique SSV actuators.
If support air is connected always use the 3 bar/43.5 PSI air relief fittings = 9611995903.
Using the air relief fitting also extends the service life of the actuator piston o-ring.
Pos. no. 5
For actuators, manufactured year 2005-2018, with serial number from 1000000 - 5999999
and from 20000000000 - 59999999999 always use steel adapter (pos 5) = 9614065301
Tighten torque = 30 Nm
Pos. no. 5
For actuators, manufactured year 2019 --> with serial number from 6000000 to 7000000 and
from 60000000000 to 70000000000 always use steel adapter (pos 5) = 9615374701
Tighten torque = 15 Nm

5 Maintenance
Study the instructions carefully.
The items refer to the parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly.
Step 1
Mounting plug seal ring with Alfa Laval plug seal tool
1. Part B
“Part B” has a small and a large diameter as the tool can be
used for two plug sizes – e.g. plug tool = 9613172902 can be
used for DN50/ISO51 (small) and DN65/ISO63 (large).
“Part B” therefore has to be turned so it matches the plug
size diameter.
2. Part A
“Part A” has an upper and lower exhaust hole, as the tool can
be used for two plug sizes – e.g. plug tool = 9613172902.
The upper exhaust hole is for the small plug size e.g.
DN50/ISO51 (small) and the lower exhaust hole is for
DN65/ISO63 (large).
When using a “change-over plug” the ø20 spindle must also
be fitted in “part A” and “part B” (see drawing 2).
When using a “reverse acting plug” the ø20 spindle must only
be fitted in “part A” (see drawing 2).
When using a “standard shut-off plug” the ø20 spindle is only
fitted in “part B” (see drawing 1).
3. Fit the plug spindle in “part B” or “part A”.
Place “part A” onto “part B” and then press “hard” down on
top of “part A”.
Now fit the screwdriver into the exhaust hole and underneath
the plug groove meanwhile keeping the pressure on “part A”. A. Part A
This should ensure correct removal of air behind the seal B. Part B

4. It is important to release compressed air behind the seal ring. F. Screwdriver (no sharp corner)
This is done with a screwdriver and always underneath the
plug as shown (see drawing 4).

6 Technical data
It is important to observe the technical data during installation, operation and maintenance.
Inform all personnel about the technical data.
The valve is a pneumatic seat valve in a hygienic and modular design remote-controlled by means of compressed air.
It has few and simple moveable parts which results in a very reliable valve and low maintenance cost.
Standard Design The valve comes in a one or two body configuration. With its module built structure it is designed for flexibility
and easy customization through the electronic configurator.
