Features & Benefits
Zero Dead Leg Design
Straight-through full-bore design with no pockets, crevices, or dead legs meets 3-A Sanitary Standards and EHEDG guidelines, preventing product accumulation and bacterial growth -- essential for pharmaceutical sterile and food-grade applications.
Representative Sample Extraction
Sample outlet is positioned at the pipeline centreline, ensuring that the extracted sample is fully representative of the main process fluid -- not biased by wall effects or stratification.
Electropolished and Passivated Surface
Mirror-finish electropolished surface (Ra <= 0.4 microns or 0.25 microns) eliminates microscopic surface irregularities where bacteria could adhere, and passivation restores the chromium oxide layer for maximum corrosion resistance.
CIP / SIP Compatible
Valve is fully compatible with Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Steam-in-Place (SIP) procedures -- no disassembly required for cleaning and sterilisation, reducing downtime and contamination risk.
Pneumatic Actuator for Automated Sampling
Spring-return pneumatic actuator enables automated sample extraction integrated with batch control systems, eliminating human error and ensuring consistent sample timing and volume.
Tri-Clamp Quick Disassembly
Tri-clamp ends allow rapid disassembly for visual inspection, seal replacement, and validation without tools -- reducing maintenance time from hours to minutes.
