Alfa Laval Safety Valves: Reliable Protection for Hygienic Processes
Alfa Laval safety valves ensure optimal operating conditions by managing overpressure, vacuum, or unacceptable fluid levels in hygienic systems. By relieving excess pressure or liquids from pipelines, vessels, and equipment, these valves reduce the risk of explosion, implosion, and system damage, ensuring safe and efficient operations across the dairy, food, beverage, and brewery industries.
Key Benefits:
- Prevent workplace injuries and protect equipment from vacuum conditions and pressure imbalances.
- Minimize risks of accidents, including explosions, implosions, or system collapse.
- Deliver reliable performance with factory-set pressure and vacuum points tailored to your process needs.
- Simplify operations with hygienic valves that are economical, easy to install, operate, and clean.
Safeguarding Your Plant in Challenging Conditions
Designed to maintain proper pressure safely below design limits, Alfa Laval safety valves protect pipelines, tanks, and systems even in demanding conditions. With extensive expertise in optimizing process safety and performance, Alfa Laval safety valves offer protection against:
- Vacuum conditions caused by cold rinsing after hot cleaning
- Caustic cleaning in CO2 atmospheres
- Temperature fluctuations
- Gas supply blockages during tank operations
Alfa Laval safety valves deliver superior process safety, outstanding performance, and uncompromising cleanliness. Trust these valves to safeguard your personnel and processing systems, ensuring reliable, high-quality operations in hygienic applications.

Alfa Laval SB Pressure Relief Valve
The Alfa Laval SB Pressure Relief Valve is a hygienic safety valve that prevents overpressure in process tanks or vessels caused by liquid overfilling. When the tank's pressure exceeds the set value, the valve opens to release excess fluid, ensuring safe operations and preventing damage to the tank.
- Cost-effective, hygienic design
- Protection against tank overfilling and pressurization
- Superior hygiene
- Customized to meet process requirements
- Easy to clean
The Alfa Laval SB Pressure Relief Valve safeguards pressurized tanks in hygienic process lines across various industries, including brewery, dairy, food, and beverage. It integrates with the SCANDI BREW® tank top system.
Contact usHow Does a Safety Valve Work?
Alfa Laval safety valves are designed to relieve pressure or prevent vacuum conditions in hygienic processing systems. Each valve is pre-set and locked with counterweights or springs to open at specific pressures or vacuums, tailored to customer requirements or tank design specifications.
When the pressure or vacuum in the tank surpasses the pre-set value, the valve activates, either releasing excess pressure or allowing atmospheric air into the system. This ensures safe and reliable operation, protecting equipment, maintaining process integrity, and preventing damage due to pressure imbalances.
