In sanitary applications, diaphragm seal systems ensure a safe and precise tabs on the procedure pressure. WIKA therefore offers welded Famous of diaphragm seal and measuring instrument with TRI-CLAMP� connection for process integration. A combination of this reference to easy-to-clean NovAseptic� connecting pieces can be done without further modification.
Diaphragm seal systems from WIKA with TRI-CLAMP� connection for sanitary applications
Compact component
The TRI-CLAMP� connection is trusted in sanitary applications. It really is used, among other activities, for tanks and similar vessels. Compared to other process connections because of this industry, e.g. DIN 11864-2 flange connections, the TRI-CLAMP� is a compact and lightweight component. The fantastic advantage of this type of connection is its ease of handling. Measuring instruments are installed, without tools, utilizing a clamp connection.
In order to be able to integrate the TRI-CLAMP� in to the process, a connecting nozzle of the same size is necessary as a counterpart. In this way, yet another hollow body is established on the vessel. Here, a dead space can arise during the process due to air inclusions or gas bubbles. Thus, an elevated cleaning effort is necessary to minimise the potential risks.
Rapid cleaning processes
NovAseptic� connecting pieces certainly are a hygienic alternative to this. The adapter for the TRI-CLAMP� connection is welded straight into the surface of the vessel, the ferrule is fixed with head nuts. When installed correctly, the connecting nozzle welded in flush to the tank wall ensures a connection without dead space. This fulfils an essential prerequisite for effective and, as well, rapid CIP/SIP processes.
Application-specific design
All diaphragm seal systems, as well as other WIKA measuring instruments, with conventional TRI-CLAMP� connections could be installed with NovAseptic� fittings without any modification measures. In general, WIKA diaphragm seal systems for sanitary applications are designed for specific applications ? in Recreate of pharmaceutical processes, in accordance with GMP guidelines. The machine fill fluid is accordingly FDA-compliant.
