Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Introducing the Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges: these are meticulously crafted connection components that serve as the cornerstone for hygienic fluid transfer systems where absolute cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. Ideal for industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals, these flanges are indispensable. They are designed to meet the strict requirements of CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols, ensuring that fluid pathways remain smooth, crevice-free, and readily cleanable. This guarantees the highest level of product purity and maintains the integrity of your processes.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Featuring internal surfaces that are polished to an ultra-low roughness level (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), these flanges effectively prevent microbial adhesion and residue buildup, ensuring a sterile environment.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: With seamless alignment to pipes and gaskets, conforming to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, these flanges eliminate stagnation zones entirely.
- Integrated Gasket System: Incorporating sterile-grade gaskets, such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, which are recessed flawlessly into flange grooves, safeguarding against product contact.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: This superior material choice offers excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance up to 250°C, while complying with FDA and EC1935 regulations for product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: Available for enhanced passivation, ensuring the highest level of cleanability and surface finish.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: The innovative design includes quick-install clamps or threaded unions that guarantee leak-proof sealing and allow for rapid disassembly during cleaning processes.
- Uniform Compression: Ensures even gasket loading, preventing deformation and maintaining consistent SIP/CIP performance throughout its use.
4.CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Designed to withstand aggressive cleaning agents, including acids and alkalis, and steam sterilization processes with temperatures reaching ≥121°C and pressures of 15+ PSI.
- Equipped with smooth internal geometry, ensuring comprehensive coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Adhering to international standards such as DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines for superior performance.
- Available in a variety of sizes, from DN 15-150 (½"-6"), and accommodating multiple pressure ratings to meet diverse application needs.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Perfect for use in fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, ensuring sterility and efficiency.
- Food & Beverage: Suited for dairy processing, juice and beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, maintaining the highest hygiene standards.
- Cosmetics: Ideal for manufacturing emulsions, serums, and perfumes where purity and cleanliness are crucial.
- Fine Chemicals: Ensures high-purity solvent distribution with uncompromising safety and integrity.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges offer unparalleled hygienic performance for the most critical processes. By integrating advanced metallurgy, a dead-leg-free geometry, and standardized connections, these flanges effectively mitigate contamination risks while facilitating efficient maintenance. They are the ideal solution for systems requiring zero product retention and validated sterility, delivering excellence and reliability.
