In sanitary applications, diaphragm seal systems ensure a safe and precise tabs on the process pressure. WIKA therefore also offers welded units 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 is possible 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 is used, among other things, for tanks and similar vessels. In comparison to other process connections for this industry, e.g. DIN 11864-2 flange connections, the TRI-CLAMP� is really a compact and lightweight component. The fantastic advantage of this kind of connection is its simple handling. Measuring instruments are installed, without tools, utilizing a clamp connection.
In order to be in a position to integrate the TRI-CLAMP� into the process, a connecting nozzle of exactly the same size is necessary as a counterpart. In this manner, yet another hollow body is established on the vessel. Here, a dead space can arise through the process due to air inclusions or gas bubbles. Thus, an increased cleaning effort is necessary to minimise the potential risks.
Deadline
NovAseptic� connecting pieces certainly are a hygienic option 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 important prerequisite for effective and, as well, 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. In general, WIKA diaphragm seal systems for sanitary applications were created for specific applications ? regarding pharmaceutical processes, relative to GMP guidelines. The system fill fluid is accordingly FDA-compliant.
