The Hygienic Stainless Steel C-Type Quick Coupler is a premium pipe fitting designed for fast, aseptic connections in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical systems. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, this coupler features a clamp-type design (ISO 2852 compliant) and electropolished surfaces, enabling tool-free assembly while maintaining sanitary conditions.
Aseptic Design & Construction:
316L stainless steel (extra low carbon) with electropolished surface (Ra ≤0.4μm), eliminating crevices and particle traps, compliant with 3-A Sanitary Standards and FDA 21 CFR Part 177.
C-type clamp (conical seat) ensures bubble-tight seals without dead legs, critical for clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) processes.
Tool-Free Quick Connection:
Tri-clamp mechanism (ISO 2852) allows assembly/disassembly in seconds using a single clamp, reducing downtime by 70% during equipment maintenance and product changeovers.
Compatible with EPDM, silicone, or PTFE gaskets (FDA-compliant), with gasket grooves designed to prevent extrusion under pressure (up to 10 bar).
Hygienic Performance:
Smooth internal surface (Ra ≤0.8μm) minimizes product residue buildup, ideal for viscous fluids like creams, sauces, and pharmaceutical slurries.
Temperature range: -40°C to 200°C (with PTFE gaskets), suitable for cryogenic ingredient handling and hot water sanitization.
Compliance & Certification:
Meet ISO 22000, cGMP, and EU GMP guidelines, with material traceability reports and surface roughness certificates available for audit purposes.
Available in sizes 1/2" to 12" (DN15-DN300), with optional electro-polishing for semiconductor-grade purity (Ra ≤0.2μm).
Perfect for sanitary fluid handling in critical industries:
Food & Beverage: Quick connections for pasteurizers, mixers, and filling machines in dairies, breweries, and juice plants, ensuring no product contamination.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Aseptic connections in bioreactors, filtration systems, and sterile filling lines, compliant with USP Class VI and EP 3.1.2 standards.
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Transferring lotions, fragrances, and creams, with electropolished surfaces preventing ingredient degradation and bacterial growth.
Biotech Research: Laboratory-scale bioprocessing systems, where quick disassembly is essential for frequent cleaning and component replacement.
Q: What is the difference between C-type and B-type clamp couplers?
A: C-type (conical seat) is optimized for high-purity CIP/SIP systems, while B-type is a general-purpose clamp with flat seats.
Q: Can this coupler be used with non-stainless steel tubes?
A: Yes, but use a dielectric gasket to prevent galvanic corrosion when connecting to aluminum or carbon steel tubes.
Q: How often should gaskets be replaced in high-use environments?
A: Replace every 6 months or after 200 CIP cycles, depending on media aggressiveness and temperature exposure.
Q: Is the coupler suitable for vacuum applications?
A: Yes, the conical seat provides reliable sealing down to 29" Hg vacuum; use a metal-reinforced gasket for extreme vacuum conditions.
