Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are meticulously crafted connections for hygienic fluid systems that require absolute purity and microbial control. They are crucial in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals, where cleaning and sterilization protocols are paramount. These flanges ensure seamless, crevice-free, and easily cleanable fluid pathways that uphold product purity and processing excellence.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Internal surfaces are polished to an ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), preventing microbial adhesion and residue buildup.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Seamlessly aligns with pipes/gaskets (per DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, RJ standards), eliminating stagnation zones.
- Integrated Gasket System: Sterile-grade gaskets (e.g., PTFE-encapsulated silicone/EPDM) are recessed into flange grooves to prevent product contact.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance (up to 250°C), and meets FDA/EC1935 compliance for product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: Provides enhanced passivation for superior cleanability.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: Quick-install clamps or threaded unions enable leak-proof sealing and allow rapid disassembly for cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: Ensures even gasket loading to prevent deformation, maintaining consistent SIP/CIP performance.
4.CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Withstands aggressive cleaning agents (acids/alkalis) and steam sterilization (≥121°C, 15+ PSI).
- The smooth internal geometry ensures optimal coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Adheres to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines.
- Available in DN 15-150 (½"-6") sizes and various pressure ratings.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Used in fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, filling lines.
- Food & Beverage: Ideal for dairy processing, juice/beer pipelines, and sauce transfer.
- Cosmetics: Perfect for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing.
- Fine Chemicals: Suitable for high-purity solvent distribution.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges provide unwavering hygienic performance for critical processes. By merging advanced metallurgy, geometrically dead-leg-free designs, and standardized connections, they effectively reduce contamination risks while supporting efficient maintenance. Perfect for systems that demand zero product retention and verified sterility.
