Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are meticulously crafted connection components, engineered to perfection for hygienic fluid transfer systems where absolute cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. These flanges play a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. They are designed to support Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) protocols, providing smooth, crevice-free, and easily cleanable fluid pathways that uphold product purity and process integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: The internal surfaces are polished to achieve an ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), effectively preventing microbial adhesion and residue buildup.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Designed for seamless alignment with pipes and gaskets, meeting DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, it eliminates stagnation zones, ensuring smooth fluid flow.
- Integrated Gasket System: Incorporating sterile-grade gaskets, such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, which are recessed into flange grooves to prevent product contact, maintaining hygiene.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers superior corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance up to 250°C, and is compliant with FDA and EC1935 standards, ensuring safe contact with products.
- Electropolishing Option: Available for enhanced passivation, maximizing cleanability and reducing microbial contamination risks.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: The quick-install clamps or threaded unions provide leak-proof sealing while allowing rapid disassembly for thorough cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: Ensures even gasket loading, preventing deformation and ensuring consistent CIP and SIP performance.
4.CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Resilient to aggressive cleaning agents (acids/alkalis) and steam sterilization processes (≥121°C, 15+ PSI).
- Smooth internal geometry ensures complete coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, promoting thorough sanitization.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Fully compliant with DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, ensuring global applicability.
- Available in a wide range of sizes from DN 15-150 (½"-6") and various pressure ratings, catering to diverse industrial needs.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Ideal for use in fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, ensuring sterility and efficiency.
- Food & Beverage: Perfect for dairy processing, juice or beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, maintaining product quality.
- Cosmetics: Suitable for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing, ensuring purity and product integrity.
- Fine Chemicals: Essential for high-purity solvent distribution, minimizing contamination risks.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges offer unrivaled hygienic performance for critical processes. Their blend of advanced metallurgy, dead-leg-free geometry, and standardized connections significantly reduces contamination risks while facilitating efficient maintenance. These flanges are ideal for systems requiring zero product retention and validated sterility.
