Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are meticulously crafted components designed to ensure pristine fluid transfer in systems where absolute cleanliness and microbial control are paramount. Vital for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals sectors, these flanges adhere to CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) protocols. They create smooth, crevice-free, and easily cleanable pathways that uphold product purity and process integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: Crafted with ultra-low surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) to resist microbial adhesion and residue buildup.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Ensures perfect alignment with pipes/gaskets to eliminate stagnation zones, meeting DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, RJ standards.
- Integrated Gasket System: Utilizes sterile-grade gaskets like PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, securely recessed to avoid product contact.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Made from Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance up to 250°C, fully compliant with FDA/EC1935 for safe product contact.
- Electropolishing Option: Facilitates enhanced passivation, maximizing cleanability.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: Features quick-install clamps or threaded unions for leak-proof sealing and easy disassembly for cleaning.
- Uniform Compression: Ensures even gasket loading to prevent deformation and maintain consistent SIP/CIP performance.
4. CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Endures harsh cleaning agents (acids/alkalis) and steam sterilization at temperatures ≥121°C and pressure 15+ PSI.
- Crafted with a smooth internal geometry for thorough coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Meets DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, available in sizes DN 15-150 (½"-6") with various pressure ratings.
- Available in DN 15-150 (½"-6") sizes and multiple pressure ratings.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Ideal for fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, filling lines.
- Food & Beverage: Perfect for dairy processing, juice/beer pipelines, and sauce transfer.
- Cosmetics: Suited for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing.
- Fine Chemicals: Ensures high-purity solvent distribution.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges offer unparalleled hygienic performance for critical processes. Integrating advanced metallurgy, a dead-leg-free design, and standardized connections, they significantly minimize contamination risks, facilitating efficient maintenance—ideal for systems demanding zero product retention and validated sterility.
