Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are expertly crafted connection components, meticulously designed for hygienic fluid transfer systems where cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. They play a vital role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. In environments where CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols are crucial, these flanges ensure seamless, crevice-free, and easily cleanable fluid pathways, safeguarding product purity and process integrity with precision.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: The internal surfaces are polished to an ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) standard, effectively preventing microbial adhesion and residue buildup, ensuring hygienic integrity.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Seamlessly aligns with pipes and gaskets, conforming to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, eliminating stagnation zones and maintaining fluid dynamics.
- Integrated Gasket System: Featuring sterile-grade gaskets like PTFE-encapsulated silicone/EPDM, these are recessed into flange grooves, avoiding product contact and enhancing system cleanliness.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Crafted from Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance up to 250°C, and adherence to FDA/EC1935 standards for product contact safety.
- Electropolishing Option: This option provides enhanced passivation, offering maximum cleanability and ensuring a pristine surface finish.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: These allow for quick-install clamps or threaded unions that ensure leak-proof sealing and permit rapid disassembly for efficient cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: This feature ensures even gasket loading, preventing deformation and providing consistent SIP/CIP performance, maintaining operational reliability.
4. CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Designed to endure aggressive cleaning agents (acids/alkalis) and steam sterilization (≥121°C, 15+ PSI), ensuring robust performance.
- The smooth internal geometry ensures full coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, maximizing the cleaning process efficiency.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Meets rigorous standards including DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, ensuring worldwide applicability.
- Available in a range of DN 15-150 (½"-6") sizes and multiple pressure ratings, these flanges offer versatility to suit diverse application needs.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Essential in fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, ensuring sterile, contamination-free processes.
- Food & Beverage: Ideal for dairy processing, juice and beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, enhancing product safety and quality.
- Cosmetics: Perfect for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing, maintaining purity and quality of delicate formulations.
- Fine Chemicals: Facilitates high-purity solvent distribution, ensuring chemical integrity and process efficiency.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges exemplify uncompromising hygienic performance for critical processes. By blending advanced metallurgy, dead-leg-free geometry, and standardized connections, they significantly reduce contamination risks, while enhancing maintenance efficiency. These flanges are ideal for systems demanding zero product retention and validated sterility.
