Special flange with Tri Clamp for more flexibility

Tri Clamp connections are frequently used for process vessels in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Their advantages include quick and easy assembly and disassembly as well as easy cleaning. Hygiene plays a major role in these industries.

The case study

Our customer 4GENE based in Freising near Munich, is one of the leading innovators in the field of flavors and fragrances for special smell and taste experiences. The substances are produced in large tanks. These are equipped with Tri Clamp nozzles for the various applications along the production cycle in order to be able to quickly assemble and disassemble the required equipment. This allows 4GENE to achieve maximum flexibility in the process.

All devices used on the tanks must therefore also have a Tri Clamp connection. Even the agitators. However, this is too special for most manufacturers of agitator technology and is therefore rarely possible. As an expert for the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries with our own development department and production facilities, we have already equipped several of our agitators with special flange solutions such as the Tri Clamp connection. In this case made of high-quality stainless steel.

Customer feedback

At the end of the project, we asked our customer about his satisfaction with our system: „The use of your pneumatic agitators convinced us for several reasons. Your motors can be attached to process tanks in a space-saving manner and regardless of location. The motors run quietly and stably. The systems can be cleaned quickly and effectively without the need for water-sensitive electronics.“
