SLV
Sanitary Quick-Mounted Ball Valve
The SLV Sanitary Quick-Mounted Ball Valve is a hygienic, ultra-clean ball valve whose clamp-style connections release without tools. It is built for food and pharmaceutical processes where valves must come apart quickly for cleaning and sterilisation, then go straight back into service.
Product Benefits
- Tool-free changeover: Quick-mount connections let an operator strip the valve out of a product line in moments, clean or sterilise it thoroughly, and reinstall it without wrenches or hot work.
- Less cleaning downtime: Changeover and cleaning time drop directly compared with welded or bolted valves.
- Low-carbon stainless wetted parts: The wetted construction is low-carbon stainless steel throughout, giving the corrosion resistance and cleanability that high-purity service demands.
- Tested to standards: The design is engineered and tested to recognised valve standards, including fire-safe testing, so hygiene does not come at the cost of robustness.
Where It's Used
- Sanitary processing: Its home ground is food and beverage production, dairies, pharmaceutical and other high-purity lines.
- Regular cleaning duty: It suits lines whose product contact surfaces must be cleaned or sterilised regularly.
- Beyond clean-in-place: Anywhere clean-in-place routines are supplemented by periodic strip-down cleaning, the quick-mount format earns its keep.
- Interchangeable connections: Quick-install, welded and flanged connection styles are interchangeable within the series, so the same valve design serves both permanently piped sections and frequently opened product circuits.
Good to Know
- Hygienic materials: The body and internal parts are made from a low-carbon stainless grade chosen for hygienic duty.
- Both sizing conventions: Both common sanitary sizing conventions are covered.
- Pressure follows the connection: The practical pressure capability depends on the connection interface chosen, so confirm the connection style against your line conditions.
- Gaskets are wear items: Clamp gaskets and seals wear in this style of valve, so keep spares on hand and renew them during routine sterilisation cycles to preserve both sealing and hygiene.
