Healthcare applications are essential in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology production. Throughout all stages of the processes, equipment is used to measure pressure, temperature and level, guaranteeing safety and reliability.
Typical applications:
- Production monitoring in heaters, reactors and cooking pots.
- Fermentation control and storage tank management.
- Measurement of hydrostatic level and temperature in liquid processes.
- Overpressure and vacuum protection systems.
- Filling and pump control machines.
- Cleaning processes (CIP & SIP).
- Sterilization procedures in production lines.
Sanitary separator seals
Separator seals fulfill a key function: protecting pressure instruments against aggressive or sensitive media. They create a barrier between the fluid and the instrument, allowing reliable measurement without the process product coming into contact with the sensor.
Types of stamps available:
- Seals with Clamp connection, DIN 11851 or SMS: Easy to assemble and disassemble, ideal in processes with frequent cleaning and without residue.
- Tubular in-line seals (DIN 11851 or Tri-Clamp): Designed to allow continuous, obstruction-free flow, avoiding turbulence and dead zones.
- Seals for homogenizers: Specially manufactured to withstand extreme dynamic pressures of up to 2,500 bar.
Main advantages of separator seals
- Protection of the instrument: They isolate the manometer or pressure transmitter from corrosive, viscous fluids or those with risk of contamination.
- Measuring precision: Pressure is transmitted through the seal membrane using a filling fluid, guaranteeing accurate and stable readings.
- Ease of maintenance: Its design allows quick disassembly for cleaning in hygienic processes with CIP or SIP, avoiding the accumulation of waste.
- Compatibility with sanitary connections: Available in DIN, SMS, Tri-Clamp and homogenizer standards, ensuring simple and safe assembly without complex tools.
Thermowells (Pods) for sanitary processes
Sanitary thermowells are designed to meet the high standards of the food, dairy, pharmaceutical and beverage industries. They function as metal protectors that insulate and protect temperature sensors against demanding conditions such as high pressure, high flow rates and potentially aggressive media.
Main benefits:
- They facilitate the installation and replacement of bimetallic thermometers without the need to interrupt the process or drain the system.
- They ensure the durability of the sensors by protecting them from direct wear due to contact with the fluid.
- They have 3A approval, which guarantees compliance with international health standards.
