Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are meticulously crafted connectors, engineered for the utmost precision in hygienic fluid transfer systems. Designed to uphold absolute cleanliness and prevent microbial contamination, they are indispensable in sectors like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. These industries rely heavily on CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols. Our flanges guarantee smooth, crevice-free pathways, making them incredibly easy to clean while maintaining the purity of your product and ensuring the integrity of your processes.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Boasting ultra-low surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), these flanges minimize microbial adhesion and prevent residue buildup, ensuring a pristine environment.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: With flawless alignment to pipes and gaskets, adhering to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, these flanges eliminate any potential stagnation zones.
- Integrated Gasket System: Utilize sterile-grade gaskets, such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone and EPDM, strategically recessed into flange grooves to avoid contact with the product, enhancing sterility.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and withstands high temperatures (up to 250°C), fully compliant with FDA/EC1935 standards for product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: This advanced surface treatment enhances passivation, ensuring maximum cleanability and maintaining the highest standards of hygiene.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: These quick-install clamps and threaded unions provide leak-proof sealing while allowing rapid disassembly for efficient cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: Guaranteeing even gasket loading, these flanges prevent deformation and ensure consistent CIP/SIP performance, maintaining operational efficiency.
4.CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Resilient to aggressive cleaning agents like acids and alkalis, as well as steam sterilization at temperatures ≥121°C and pressures of 15+ PSI.
- The expertly designed smooth internal geometry ensures comprehensive coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, leaving no spot untouched.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Fully conforming to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, ensuring global applicability and reliability.
- Available in sizes ranging from DN 15-150 (½"-6") and offering multiple pressure ratings to suit diverse application needs.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Perfect for fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, providing reliable performance in critical processes.
- Food & Beverage: Ideal for dairy processing, juice and beer pipelines, and sauce transfers, ensuring safety and hygiene.
- Cosmetics: Essential for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing, maintaining the purity needed for high-end products.
- Fine Chemicals: Facilitates the distribution of high-purity solvents, ensuring contamination-free operations.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges exemplify the pinnacle of hygienic performance, designed for critical processes. By integrating advanced metallurgy, dead-leg-free geometry, and standardized connections, they significantly reduce contamination risks while simplifying maintenance. These flanges are the ideal choice for systems where zero product retention and validated sterility are paramount.
