In sanitary applications, diaphragm seal systems ensure a safe and precise monitoring of the process pressure. WIKA therefore also offers welded units of diaphragm seal and measuring instrument with TRI-CLAMP� connection for process integration. A variety 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 is used, among other activities, for tanks and similar vessels. Compared to other process connections because of this industry, e.g. Ordeal -2 flange connections, the TRI-CLAMP� is really a compact and lightweight component. The fantastic advantage of this sort 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� 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, Uplifted can arise during the process due to 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 directly 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 link 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 could 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.
