In sanitary applications, diaphragm seal systems ensure a safe and precise monitoring of the procedure pressure. WIKA therefore also 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 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 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 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 Off-the Record to be in a position to integrate the TRI-CLAMP� in to the process, a connecting nozzle of exactly the same size is required as a counterpart. In this manner, yet another hollow body is created on the vessel. Here, a dead space can arise during the process because of air inclusions or gas bubbles. Thus, an elevated cleaning effort is essential to minimise the potential risks.
Rapid cleaning processes
NovAseptic� connecting pieces are a hygienic alternative to this. The adapter for the TRI-CLAMP� connection is welded directly into the top of vessel, the ferrule is fixed with head nuts. When installed correctly, the connecting nozzle welded in flush to the tank wall ensures a link without dead space. This fulfils an important prerequisite for effective and, at the same time, 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, relative to GMP guidelines. The machine fill fluid is accordingly FDA-compliant.
