Tri clamp butterfly valve

Here is the English translation of the introduction to the Tri Clamp Butterfly Valve with the fifth section removed:

1. Product Overview

The Tri Clamp Butterfly Valve is a type of butterfly valve that uses a Tri Clamp connection method. It is primarily used in industries requiring high sanitary standards, such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical sectors. Its simple design, ease of installation, and cleaning make it compliant with sanitary equipment requirements. The butterfly valve controls fluid flow by rotating a disc (butterfly plate), making it suitable for quick shut-off and flow regulation.

2. Key Features

• Sanitary Design: Smooth internal polishing, compliant with sanitary standards (e.g., 3A, FDA), preventing bacterial growth.

• Quick Installation: Tri Clamp connection allows for easy installation and disassembly, suitable for applications requiring frequent cleaning.

• Diverse Materials: The valve body and disc are typically made of stainless steel (304 or 316L), with sealing materials such as EPDM, PTFE, or silicone available for different media.

• Easy Operation: Manual handle, gear, or pneumatic/electric actuators for flexible switching and precise flow control.

• Compact and Lightweight: Simple structure, lightweight, and space-saving.

• Compatible Media: Suitable for liquids, gases, steam, and other media.

3. Applications

• Food and Beverage Industry: Used for controlling fluids such as milk, juice, and beer.

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Suitable for transporting pharmaceuticals, purified water, and injectable water.

• Biotech Industry: Used in fermenters, reactors, and other equipment for fluid control.

• Chemical Industry: Suitable for transporting and controlling corrosive media.

4. Selection Guide

• Size: Choose the appropriate valve size based on pipeline dimensions (e.g., 1 inch, 2 inches, 4 inches).

• Pressure Rating: Select the valve pressure rating based on working pressure (e.g., PN10, PN16).

• Sealing Material: Choose the sealing material based on media characteristics (e.g., EPDM for high-temperature water, PTFE for corrosive media).

• Operation Mode: Manual operation is suitable for small flow control, while pneumatic or electric operation is ideal for automated systems.

5. Maintenance and Care

• Regularly inspect seals for wear and replace them promptly.

• Use mild cleaning agents during cleaning to avoid damaging sealing materials.

• Ensure the valve is not subjected to external force during installation and use.
