Key features

What the connection brings with it.

  • Sterile connection, crevice-free design
  • For gases and liquids
  • Product-contact surfaces electropolished
  • Four connection types available
  • Gaskets FDA conform, USP Class VI, TSE-free
  • Product-contact parts marked for traceability

Connection types

Four connections, one sealing principle.

The sealing point is identical in every version. What differs is how the two halves are held together — and with it the space required and the effort to open the connection.

Sterile Screw Union

Groove nut on a threaded liner. The slimmest version, opened with two spanners.

Sterile Clamp Union

Two ferrules, one clamp. Opens without tools — right where a line is dismantled often.

Sterile Flange Connection

Bolted flange for permanent installations and higher forces at the joint.

Sterile Large Flange Connection

The same design for large nominal sizes, where bolt forces must be distributed.

Gasket materials

The material decides how far it goes.

The gasket, not the stainless steel, limits where the connection can be used. Five materials cover the range from −200 to +260 °C.

EPDM

−40 bis +150 °C

Standard version

FEP / Silikon

−60 bis +200 °C

Silicone core with FEP jacket

FKM

−20 bis +200 °C

Resistant to oils and fuels

PTFE-Verbund

−200 bis +250 °C

Widest temperature range

FFKM

−10 bis +260 °C

Highest chemical resistance

Applications

Where hygienic design is not optional.

Wherever transfer must stay sterile and a leak costs the batch: in liquid and gas lines of high-purity systems, in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and food production.
