Clamp Reducer
Size changes with clamp ends, so a line can step down to a pump or a filler without a welded transition.
Overview
What This Pump Does
Sanitary clamp reducers in SS304 or SS316L, models SK-RD003 and SK-RD004, for changing line size within the DN15 to DN200 range.
Made to DIN, SMS, 3A, ISO and IDF standards with mirror polish to Ra below 0.5 um or matt polish, for dairy, beer, food, beverage, pharmacy and biotechnology duty.
| Standard | DIN, SMS, 3A, ISO, IDF |
|---|---|
| Connection Type | Weld, Clamp, Thread |
| Polish | Mirror Polish Ra<0.5um or Matt Polish |
| Application | Dairy, beer, food, beverage, pharmacy, biotechnology, etc |
Key Benefits
Where A Reducer Earns Its Place
Matches Pump To Line
Pump connections rarely match the line size exactly. A reducer makes the transition cleanly.
Smooth Internal Transition
A gradual taper avoids the turbulence and product hold up a sudden step creates.
Removable
Clamp ends allow the reducer to be taken out for inspection or a size change.
Same Standard Throughout
Supplied to the standard the rest of the line uses.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Pump Connections
Stepping from line size to pump suction or discharge size.
Filler Feeds
Reducing to the filler connection at the end of a run.
Instrument Sections
Local size changes for flow meters and other instruments.
Who It Is For
- Line fabricators
- Process engineers matching equipment to line sizes
- Breweries and dairies
- Pharmaceutical installers
Problems It Solves
Equipment does not match the line
A reducer in the correct standard removes the improvised adapter that would otherwise appear.
Sudden steps hold product
A tapered transition keeps flow smooth and drains cleanly.
Layout changes need new sizes
Clamp ends allow a reducer to be swapped when equipment changes.

Compared With Other Options
| Welded reducer | The welded version is permanent and suited to fixed runs. This one can be removed and changed. |
|---|---|
| Eccentric reducer | An eccentric reducer keeps one side flat for drainage on horizontal runs. Tell us the orientation and we will advise. |
Use Guide
Using Reducers Correctly
State Both Sizes
The larger and the smaller connection, plus the standard, define the fitting.
Think About Drainage
On horizontal lines, consider which side needs to stay flat so liquid drains.
Avoid Multiple Steps
One correctly sized reducer is better than two stacked together.
Check Pump Suction
On a suction line, an ill considered reduction can cause cavitation. Send the duty if you are unsure.
