Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Introducing the Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges, precision-engineered marvels specifically crafted for hygienic fluid transfer systems where absolute cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. These flanges are indispensable across diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals. They are the cornerstone of CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols, ensuring smooth, crevice-free, and easily cleanable fluid pathways to uphold unmatched product purity and process integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: The internal surfaces are meticulously polished to achieve ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), effectively preventing microbial adhesion and residue buildup, offering an impeccable level of cleanliness.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Flanges are seamlessly aligned with pipes and gaskets according to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, eliminating stagnation zones and ensuring optimal fluid flow.
- Integrated Gasket System: Equipped with sterile-grade gaskets, such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, recessed into flange grooves to avoid product contact, enhancing sterility.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers superior corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance up to 250°C, compliant with FDA/EC1935 standards for safe product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: Available for enhanced passivation, providing maximum cleanability and a pristine finish.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: Features quick-install clamps or threaded unions for leak-proof sealing, allowing rapid disassembly for thorough cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: Ensures even gasket loading, preventing deformation and guaranteeing consistent SIP/CIP performance.
4. CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Engineered to withstand aggressive cleaning agents (acids/alkalis) and steam sterilization processes at temperatures ≥121°C and pressures exceeding 15 PSI.
- Smooth internal geometry facilitates complete coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, ensuring uncompromised hygiene.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Adheres to strict global standards, including DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, ensuring universal compatibility.
- Available in a wide range of sizes from DN 15-150 (½"-6") and multiple pressure ratings, offering versatile application solutions.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Ideal for fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, providing reliable performance in critical environments.
- Food & Beverage: Perfect for dairy processing, juice and beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, catering to stringent hygienic standards.
- Cosmetics: Suited for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing, ensuring precision and purity.
- Fine Chemicals: Facilitates high-purity solvent distribution, maintaining the integrity of chemical processes.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges stand as the epitome of uncompromising hygienic performance for critical processes. By integrating advanced metallurgy, dead-leg-free geometry, and standardized connections, they minimize contamination risks while enabling streamlined maintenance. They are the ideal choice for systems that demand zero product retention and validated sterility, ensuring optimal operational efficiency.
