Product Specifications

Key Features & Highlights

Securing the integrity of your processing line requires components that go beyond basic functionality. Our fluid control solutions are meticulously crafted to solve complex routing challenges, limit operational interruptions, and maintain absolute sterility from end to end.

• Zero-Retention Architecture: The fully encapsulated seat design ensures no medium is ever left behind. This eliminates bacterial breeding grounds, safeguarding your product's purity and significantly extending shelf life.

• Seamless Sterilization Compatibility: Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, it effortlessly accommodates rigorous CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) procedures without degrading the internal seals.

• Universal Face-to-Face Dimensions: Upgrading or replacing the valve body is remarkably efficient. The standardized face-to-face dimensions mean your technicians can swap components without altering the existing pipeline geometry, drastically cutting down maintenance hours.

• Adaptable Flow Configurations: Whether your process requires splitting, mixing, or diverting, the interchangeable L-type and T-type cores can be reconfigured directly on the factory floor, offering unparalleled operational agility.

Advanced Engineering & Performance Dimensions

Every element of this valve has been scrutinized and optimized to deliver exceptional performance in the most demanding industrial environments. Below is a detailed breakdown of the engineering dimensions that set this product apart.

Material & Hygiene Standards

Constructed from premium CF8, CF8M, or CF3M (304/316L) stainless steel, the valve body offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation. The internal sealing relies on high-grade PTFE material that fully complies with FDA 117.2600 standards. This non-toxic, highly stable composition ensures that the valve safely meets the stringent sanitary requirements of the food processing, beverage, and biopharmaceutical sectors.

Structural Design & Cleanability

The core of its sanitary performance lies in the fully covered valve seat design. By achieving a true non-retention, zero dead-leg internal geometry, fluids pass through without any risk of accumulation. This structural brilliance guarantees perfect compatibility with automated CIP and SIP cleaning cycles, completely preventing localized media stagnation and bacterial proliferation.

Flow Configuration & Flexibility

Fluid routing demands versatility. This valve provides both L-type and T-type 3-way configurations, allowing operators to freely combine and alter import and export directions directly on-site. Coupled with a full-port design, it guarantees that fluid passes through without pressure drops or flow restrictions, expertly handling complex fluid diversion, mixing, and directional switching.

Actuation & Automation Control

Modern processing facilities rely on precise automation. This valve is equipped with a high-performance pneumatic actuator, available in both single-acting (spring return) and double-acting models. It can also be adapted for electric or manual control. The standardized interface ensures rapid, secure mounting of limit switches, solenoid valves, and positioners to integrate flawlessly into your centralized control system.

Connection & Compatibility

To ensure rapid deployment across diverse global infrastructures, the valve supports multiple connection methods including Tri-clamp, welded, threaded, and flanged ends. Furthermore, it is manufactured in strict accordance with international engineering standards such as 3A, DIN, SMS, IDF, RJT, BPE, and ISO, guaranteeing a perfect fit into your existing pipework regardless of your region.

Maintenance & Durability

Built to endure, the valve operates flawlessly across a wide temperature spectrum (-40°C to 150°C) and handles pressures up to 10 Bar. A standout maintenance feature is its consistent face-to-face dimension across different connection types. When the valve body requires replacement, technicians can perform the swap quickly without modifying the surrounding pipes, substantially minimizing system downtime and labor costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does the fully covered valve seat improve my production process?

A: The fully covered seat eliminates internal cavities where fluids typically stagnate. By preventing product buildup, it ensures a 100% cleanable surface during CIP/SIP processes, which is absolutely crucial for preventing cross-contamination between different production batches.

Q2: Can I change the flow direction from an L-port to a T-port after installation?

A: Yes. The modular internal design allows your technicians to replace or reconfigure the core on-site. You can freely combine and adjust the import and export directions to adapt to new pipeline routing requirements without the expense of purchasing an entirely new unit.

Q3: What makes this valve suitable for high-temperature sterilization?

A: The combination of premium CF8M/CF3M stainless steel and FDA-compliant PTFE seals allows the valve to safely endure temperatures ranging from -40°C up to 150°C, and pressures up to 10 Bar. This makes it highly resilient during intensive steam sterilization cycles without losing its sealing integrity.

Q4: Will replacing the valve body require me to modify my existing pipework?

A: Absolutely not. We engineered this series so that regardless of the connection method used, the valve body can be swapped out without altering the face-to-face dimension. This plug-and-play capability significantly minimizes system downtime during routine maintenance.

Q5: Is the pneumatic actuator compatible with my existing automated control systems?

A: Yes, the actuator is designed for seamless automation integration. Available in both single-acting and double-acting configurations, it easily accommodates standard automation accessories like limit switches, solenoid valves, and smart positioners for precise, remote flow management.
