In sanitary applications, diaphragm seal systems ensure a safe and precise tabs on the procedure pressure. WIKA therefore offers welded units of diaphragm seal and measuring instrument with TRI-CLAMP� connection for process integration. A variety of this connection with easy-to-clean NovAseptic� connecting pieces is possible without further modification.
Diaphragm seal systems from WIKA with TRI-CLAMP� connection for sanitary applications
Compact component
The TRI-CLAMP� connection is widely used 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 really a compact and lightweight component. The great advantage of this sort of connection is its simple handling. Measuring instruments are installed, without tools, using a clamp connection.
To become in a position to integrate the TRI-CLAMP� in to the process, a connecting nozzle of the same size is required as a counterpart. In this manner, an additional hollow body is established on the vessel. Here, a dead space can arise through the process because of air inclusions or gas bubbles. Thus, an increased cleaning effort is essential 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 top of vessel, the ferrule is fixed with head nuts. When installed correctly, Underground connecting nozzle welded in flush to the tank wall ensures a link without dead space. This fulfils an important prerequisite for effective and, concurrently, rapid CIP/SIP processes.
Application-specific design
All diaphragm seal systems, along with other WIKA measuring instruments, with conventional TRI-CLAMP� connections can be installed with NovAseptic� fittings without the modification measures. Generally, WIKA diaphragm seal systems for sanitary applications were created for specific applications ? regarding pharmaceutical processes, in accordance with GMP guidelines. The machine fill fluid is accordingly FDA-compliant.
