Material and Construction |
Materials: Typically made from high-grade stainless steel (e.g., SS304, SS316L) to ensure durability, resistance to corrosion, and easy cleaning. |
Design: Smooth, polished surfaces (often to a high mirror finish) to minimize contamination risks and facilitate easy cleaning. |
Sanitary Design |
Seals and Gaskets: Equipped with hygienic seals and gaskets made from materials like EPDM, silicon, or Viton to prevent leaks and ensure compatibility with sterilization processes. |
Connections: Hygienic connections such as sanitary clamps, Tri-Clamp, or butt-weld fittings to ensure easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining a clean environment. |
Easy Cleaning and Sterilization |
CIP/SIP Capability: Designed to be cleaned in place (CIP) and sterilized in place (SIP), reducing the need for disassembly and minimizing contamination risks. |
Drainage: Features proper drainage systems to ensure all cleaning agents and contaminants are fully removed. |
Filtration and Performance: |
Cartridge Options: Compatible with various filter cartridges, including pleated, wound, and membrane types, depending on the application needs. |
Pressure Ratings: Built to handle the specific pressure requirements of the application, ensuring reliable performance under operational conditions. |
Visual Inspection |
Transparency: Some housings come with sight glasses or windows to allow visual inspection of the filter and fluid flow, ensuring system transparency and ease of monitoring. |
