Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges represent the pinnacle of precision engineering, tailor-made for hygienic fluid transfer systems where pristine cleanliness and microbial control are non-negotiable. These essential components are indispensable in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. They excel in environments that demand stringent CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) processes. The flanges are expertly crafted to provide smooth, crevice-free, and easily cleanable fluid pathways, ensuring that product purity and process integrity are upheld to the highest standards.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Boasting internal surfaces polished to an ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), these flanges effectively deter microbial adhesion and residue accumulation, maintaining a sterile and clean environment.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Seamlessly aligns with pipes and gaskets, adhering to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, to eradicate stagnation zones and promote a free-flowing system.
- Integrated Gasket System: Equipped with sterile-grade gaskets, such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, recessed within flange grooves to prevent direct product contact, preserving the sterility and integrity of the process.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: This superior material offers exceptional corrosion resistance and can withstand high temperatures up to 250°C. It complies with FDA/EC1935 regulations for direct product contact, ensuring both safety and durability.
- Electropolishing Option: For those requiring the utmost in cleanability, an electropolishing option is available to enhance passivation and reduce surface roughness.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: The quick-install clamps or threaded unions provide a secure, leak-proof seal while allowing for rapid disassembly and cleaning, optimizing both functionality and maintenance.
- Uniform Compression: Ensuring uniform gasket loading, this feature prevents deformation and guarantees consistent SIP/CIP performance, maintaining the reliability of your critical systems.
4.CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Endures aggressive cleaning agents, including acids and alkalis, and withstands steam sterilization at temperatures of 121°C or higher, with a pressure of 15+ PSI.
- Offers a smooth internal geometry that ensures comprehensive coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, preserving the system's integrity and cleanliness.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Fully adheres to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, assuring compatibility and reliability across diverse industrial applications.
- Available in sizes ranging from DN 15-150 (½"-6") and various pressure ratings, providing versatility to meet your specific needs.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Perfect for fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines where sterility cannot be compromised.
- Food & Beverage: Ideal for dairy processing, juice or beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, maintaining purity and cleanliness throughout production.
- Cosmetics: Essential for manufacturing emulsion, serum, and perfume products with uncompromised quality and hygiene.
- Fine Chemicals: Supports high-purity solvent distribution, ensuring quality and safety in chemical handling.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges excel in delivering impeccable hygienic performance for the most critical processes. By integrating advanced metallurgy with dead-leg-free design and standardized connections, they significantly reduce contamination risks while simplifying maintenance. These flanges are indispensable for systems demanding zero product retention and validated sterility, ensuring peace of mind and operational excellence.
