Overview

What This Pump Does

Sanitary clamp elbows in SS304 or SS316L, models SK-EB003, SK-EB004 and SK-EB006, covering 45 and 90 degree turns in the DN15 to DN200 range.

Standards are DIN, SMS, 3A, ISO and IDF, with mirror polish to Ra below 0.5 um or matt polish, for dairy, beer, food, beverage, pharmacy and biotechnology lines at temperatures from minus 5 to 95 degrees Celsius.

Key Benefits

Why Clamp Ends On A Fitting

Removable For Inspection

A clamp ended elbow can be taken out for swabbing or replacement without cutting the line.

Smooth Bore Through The Turn

Polished internal surfaces and correct radius keep flow clean through the bend.

Line Reconfiguration

Layouts can be changed for a new product without welding.

Material To Match

SS304 or SS316L so the whole line stays in one grade.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Installed

Tank To Pump Runs

Turning the line from vessel outlet to pump suction without a long sweep.

Skid Pipework

Compact routing on process and CIP skids where the line is opened regularly.

Filling Line Connections

Short runs that change between product formats.

Who It Is For

  • Process line fabricators
  • Breweries and dairies
  • Pharmaceutical installers
  • Maintenance teams carrying spare fittings

Problems It Solves

Welded bends cannot be inspected

Clamp ends allow the fitting to be removed for swabbing during an audit.

Standards do not match

Elbows supplied in the same standard as the clamps and ferrules avoid a step in the bore.

Layout changes cost welding time

Clamp connections make a re-route a matter of hours, not days.

Use Guide

Fitting Elbows Into A Hygienic Line

Check The Standard

Ferrule dimensions differ between DIN, SMS, 3A, ISO and IDF. Measure before ordering.

Support The Run

Support pipework so clamp joints are not carrying weight or pulling out of alignment.

Keep Drainage In Mind

Arrange elbows so the line drains rather than holding product in a low point.

Fit New Gaskets

Use a new gasket every time a joint is remade.
