Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are expertly crafted connection components designed for hygienic fluid transfer systems where absolute cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. They play a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals, where CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols are indispensable. These flanges ensure smooth, crevice-free, and easily cleanable fluid pathways, maintaining product purity and process integrity to the highest standards.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Experience the ultimate in cleanability with internal surfaces polished to ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), which prevents microbial adhesion and residue buildup, ensuring impeccable hygiene.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Achieve seamless alignment with pipes/gaskets (per DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, RJ standards) to eliminate stagnation zones, promoting optimal fluid flow and sanitation.
- Integrated Gasket System: Superior sterile-grade gaskets (e.g., PTFE-encapsulated silicone/EPDM) are recessed into flange grooves, preventing contact with products and ensuring efficient sealing.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Benefit from outstanding corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance (up to 250°C) while adhering to FDA/EC1935 regulations for product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: Opt for enhanced passivation to achieve maximum cleanability and surface smoothness for demanding applications.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: Utilize quick-install clamps or threaded unions for leak-proof sealing and easy disassembly, facilitating swift cleaning processes.
- Uniform Compression: Ensure even gasket loading to prevent deformation, guaranteeing consistent and reliable SIP/CIP performance.
4.CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Endure aggressive cleaning agents (acids/alkalis) and steam sterilization (≥121°C, 15+ PSI) with ease, maintaining robust performance.
- Benefit from smooth internal geometry that ensures complete coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, enhancing system reliability.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Conform to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines for assured international compliance and versatility.
- Available in a wide range of sizes (DN 15-150, ½"-6") and pressure ratings to meet diverse application needs.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Essential for fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, ensuring sterile conditions and precise process control.
- Food & Beverage: Perfect for dairy processing, juice/beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, offering hygienic and efficient fluid handling.
- Cosmetics: Ideal for the manufacturing of emulsions, serums, and perfumes, providing clean and reliable product transfer.
- Fine Chemicals: Optimal for high-purity solvent distribution, ensuring contamination-free chemical processes.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges provide unparalleled hygienic performance for critical processes. By integrating advanced metallurgy, dead-leg-free geometry, and standardized connections, they effectively mitigate contamination risks while enabling efficient maintenance. Perfect for systems demanding zero product retention and validated sterility, these flanges are a testament to unrivaled quality and reliability.
