Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are expertly crafted connection components, integral to hygienic fluid transfer systems where pristine cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. These flanges are indispensable across industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. They support critical CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols by ensuring fluid pathways that are smooth, crevice-free, and easily cleanable, thus safeguarding product purity and maintaining process integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Featuring internal surfaces polished to an ultra-low roughness standard (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) to resist microbial adhesion and prevent residue accumulation.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Achieves seamless alignment with pipes and gaskets, adhering to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, thus eliminating stagnation zones.
- Integrated Gasket System: Incorporates sterile-grade gaskets, such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, recessed into flange grooves, ensuring they never come into contact with the product.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers exceptional corrosion resistance and high-temperature endurance (up to 250°C), compliant with FDA and EC1935 regulations for product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: Provides enhanced passivation, ensuring maximum cleanability.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: Employs quick-install clamps or threaded unions for leak-proof sealing, while allowing swift disassembly for cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: Ensures even gasket loading, preventing deformation and ensuring consistent SIP/CIP performance.
4. CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Resilient against aggressive cleaning agents, including acids and alkalis, and steam sterilization (≥121°C, 15+ PSI).
- Engineered with smooth internal geometry to guarantee full coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Fully complies with DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines.
- Available in a range of sizes from DN 15-150 (½"-6") and various pressure ratings.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Ideal for use in fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines.
- Food & Beverage: Perfect for dairy processing, juice and beer pipelines, and sauce transfer mechanisms.
- Cosmetics: Suitable for the manufacturing of emulsions, serums, and perfumes.
- Fine Chemicals: Ensures high-purity solvent distribution.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges offer unmatched hygienic performance for critical processing needs. By integrating cutting-edge metallurgy, dead-leg-free design, and standardized connections, these flanges significantly reduce contamination risks and facilitate efficient maintenance. They are the ideal choice for systems where zero product retention and validated sterility are mandatory.
