Detailed Description
Multi-Port Diaphragm Valve – Compact, Hygienic Solution for Complex Flow Control
The multi-port diaphragm valve is an advanced hygienic valve solution engineered to optimize space, reduce dead legs, and simplify piping layouts in high-purity process systems. It is particularly well-suited for pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food-grade applications where cleanliness, efficiency, and process reliability are critical.
Key Features and Advantages:
◆ Compact and Space-Saving Design
Combines multiple flow paths within a single valve body, minimizing the need for complex pipework and reducing the system’s overall footprint.
◆ Hygienic Construction
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (typically SS316L) with smooth internal surfaces, electropolished finishes, and fully drainable designs to meet stringent sanitary requirements such as ASME BPE, EHEDG, and 3-A.
◆ Multiple Configurations
Available in T-, L-, U-, and custom porting designs to accommodate various process requirements such as sampling, distribution, diversion, mixing, or tank switching.
◆ Reduced Dead Volume
Optimized internal geometry significantly reduces dead space and the risk of contamination, supporting effective CIP/SIP processes.
◆ Flexible Operation
Available in manual, pneumatic, or electric actuation. Can be equipped with smart control heads, position sensors, and feedback systems for integration into automated process lines.
◆ Process Efficiency
By consolidating multiple functions into a single valve block, this design reduces the number of welds, lowers the risk of leakage, and simplifies validation and maintenance procedures.
◆ Diaphragm Technology
Utilizes proven diaphragm sealing technology to isolate the product contact area from external mechanical components, ensuring high sealing integrity and sterile operation.
