Stainless Steel Sterile Flange
Product Description
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges are meticulously crafted to serve as essential connectors in hygienic fluid transfer systems. These flanges are intricately designed for applications that demand absolute cleanliness and stringent microbial control. They are indispensable in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine chemicals, where protocols such as CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) are paramount. With their crevice-free and easily cleanable surfaces, these flanges ensure that fluid pathways remain uncontaminated, safeguarding both product purity and process integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Hygienic Design
- Mirror-Polished Surfaces: The interior is polished to an ultra-low roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), effectively preventing microbial adhesion and residue buildup, ensuring optimal hygiene.
- Zero Dead-Leg Design: Achieves seamless alignment with pipes and gaskets, adhering to DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, and RJ standards, eradicating potential stagnation zones.
- Integrated Gasket System: Employs sterile-grade gaskets such as PTFE-encapsulated silicone or EPDM, which are recessed into flange grooves to avoid direct contact with the product, enhancing sterility.
2. Premium Material Construction
- Grade 316L/304L Stainless Steel: Offers superior resistance to corrosion, withstands high temperatures up to 250°C, and meets FDA and EC1935 standards for product contact, ensuring safety and durability.
- Electropolishing Option: Provides enhanced passivation, leading to maximum cleanability and maintaining surface integrity.
3. Reliable Sterile Sealing
- Tri-Clamp/SMS/RJT Connections: These quick-install clamps or threaded unions ensure leak-proof sealing while allowing for rapid disassembly during cleaning, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Uniform Compression: Guarantees even gasket loading, preventing deformation and ensuring consistent performance during SIP/CIP processes.
4. CIP/SIP Compatibility
- Capable of withstanding aggressive cleaning agents such as acids and alkalis, as well as steam sterilization at temperatures ≥121°C and pressures exceeding 15 PSI.
- The smooth internal geometry ensures full coverage by cleaning and sterilizing agents, maximizing hygiene.
5. Global Standard Compliance
- Conforms to international standards such as DIN 11866, ISO 2852, SMS 1145, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and EHEDG guidelines, ensuring global applicability.
- Available in sizes ranging from DN 15-150 (½"-6") and in multiple pressure ratings, offering versatility for diverse applications.
Typical Applications
- Pharma/Biotech: Ideal for integration with fermenters, bioreactors, purification skids, and filling lines, ensuring sterility and efficiency.
- Food & Beverage: Perfect for dairy processing, juice, beer pipelines, and sauce transfer, maintaining product integrity and safety.
- Cosmetics: Suitable for emulsion, serum, and perfume manufacturing, ensuring high product quality.
- Fine Chemicals: Essential for high-purity solvent distribution, maintaining chemical integrity.
Summary
Stainless Steel Sterile Flanges stand as the pinnacle of hygienic performance for critical processes. By marrying advanced metallurgy with dead-leg-free geometry and standardized connections, they significantly reduce contamination risks while facilitating effortless maintenance. These flanges are the ideal choice for systems that demand zero product retention and validated sterility, enhancing operational reliability and efficiency.
