Sanitary Elbow

Sanitary Elbow

Sanitary Fittings Series

● Sanitary Elbow Size: 1" to 4" 

● Sanitary Elbow Material: 304 / 316L stainless steel.

Sanitary Elbow Description:
Sanitary elbows are commonly used in the food and beverage industry for piping systems that require frequent cleaning and sanitation. Sanitary elbows are designed to create a smooth, crevice-free transition between two pipes at a 90-degree angle, Sanitary elbows eliminates dead space and reduces the risk of bacterial growth and contamination.

Sanitary Elbow Applications:

1. Sanitary Elbow for Food and Beverage Processing: 
Sanitary elbows are used in food and beverage processing plants to transport liquids, slurries, and other materials. The smooth, crevice-free design of sanitary elbows makes them easy to clean and sanitize, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and contamination.

 

2. Sanitary Elbow for Dairy Industry: 
The dairy industry uses sanitary elbows to process milk, cream, and other dairy products. These sanitary elbows help to maintain the purity of the dairy products and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.

Sanitary Elbow Types:

1. Sanitary elbow: This type of sanitary elbow has a radius equal to the diameter of the pipe, and it is used where space is limited, or there is a need to change direction quickly.

 

2. Sanitary elbow with tangents: This type of sanitary elbow has a larger radius than the diameter of the pipe, and it provides a smoother flow with less resistance. Elbows with tangents are commonly used in low-pressure applications where a gradual change of direction is required.

 

3. 45-degree sanitary elbow: This type of elbow is used when a change in direction of 45 degrees is required.

 

4. 90-degree sanitary elbow: This type of sanitary elbow is used when a change in direction of 90 degrees is required. It is the most commonly used type of sanitary elbow.

Sanitary Reducer

Sanitary Reducer

Sanitary Fittings Series

Sanitary Reducer is one of the fittings used to control or change the flow in the piping system (large <=> small).  There are two major types of reducer: concentric reducers and eccentric reducers.

Concentric type is with a common centerline and is used to join the pipe sections on the same axis.

Eccentric type is made with a slightly off-center outlet to the larger end.  It has an edge parallel to the connecting pipe and allows to align with one side of the inlet.

l  Compliable with 3A Sanitary Standard and the U.S. tube diameters.

l  Size range:  1/2" ~ 4"

l  Roughness:  Ra 0.8μm (Ra 32μinch)

l  Stainless steel material:  304ss, 316L

Sanitary Tee

Sanitary Tee

Sanitary Fittings Series

Sanitary Tee is a "T" shaped fitting which is used to connect horizontal drain to vertical drain.  The T fitting is not suggest connecting a vertical drain to a horizontal drain concerning the blockage which would cause at the bottom.

Sanitary Tee could be provided with a consistent diameter or different diameters to connect the pipe or valves with different tube/flange sizes.

 

l  Compliable with 3A Sanitary Standard (U.S. tube diameters) and DIN standard tube diameters.

l  Size range:  1" ~ 4", DN10 ~ DN200

l  Roughness:  Ra 0.8μm (Ra 32μinch)

l  Stainless steel material:  304ss, 316L

Sanitary tee type:

 

Sanitary Cleaning Ball

Sanitary Cleaning Ball

Sanitary Fittings Series

Sanitary spray ball is used to assist the efficient cleaning of storage tank or piping.  

It allows the tank to be cleaned by dousing the interior/exterior surface with high-velocity jets of water or chemicals. This process is generally called Clean-In-Place or CIP.

Some factors are needed to be considered for cleaning work such as the coverage of the spray balls, pressure, the water temperature and the cleaning solutions.

 

The flow rate of spray ball is divided by the number of holes.  The more holes there are, the lower flow rate.  Therefore, the low flow rate could not create the impact or large force to clean the tank sufficiently due to the less powerful spray. 

 

Spray type:  fixed (static), spinning (rotary)

Spray pattern (coverage):  1800 and 3600

Suggestion:  the spray ball is suggest installing above the maximum product level in the tank.

 

 

l  Size range:  3/4" ~ 2"

l  Roughness:  satin or mirror-like finish OD

l  Stainless steel material:  304ss, 316L

Sanitary Clamp

Sanitary Clamp

Sanitary Fittings Series

A sanitary clamp is used for processing the piping systems.The connection (union) is composed by the clamp, ferrule and a rubber gasket pressed in between. Sanitary Clamp could be applied in the connection of equipments no matter for pipe lines, valves or pump.
Easy assembly and disassembly with no tools to make the maintenance and monitoring the fluid lines in a proper way.
