Tube Valve body for Hygienic

For pharmaceutical sterile and formulation application Diaphragm Valve place major role across the globe. Main reason to invent diaphragm valve by focusing on cleanability and auto drain facility . This avoids media stagnation on valve which allows bacteria growth.It’s well know that using diaphragm valve necessities are common factor among manufacturing industries such as cosmetics , pharmaceutical , food & beverages and biotechnology. What earlier used diaphragm bodies are either forges or casting .

Burkert breaks these two old technologies and unveiled “The Hydroformed Tube Valve Body for Diaphragm Valves “.The hydroformed tube valve body TYPE 2031, light-weight diaphragm tube valve body will change the way you think about plant design and operation – as it helps you create more sustainable processes while meeting the industry’s demanding regulations. And during operation, it can increase overall productivity of your plant.

At present during CIP / SIP process traditional forged body / cast body diaphragm valve loads heavy as well as heating and cooling slowly due to excess thermal mass. With the help of Burkert Tube valve body ( TYPE 2031 pneumatic diaphragm valve , TYPE 2103 ELEMENT pneumatic diaphragm valve & TYPE 3233 manual diaphragm valve ) you could regain manufacturing process time by less thermal mass over forge or cast body at the same time with less contamination risk factor with the hygienic ( FDA approval ) design.

Type 2103

Valve body and diaphragm are available in various materials and variants
Wetted surfaces from Ra ≤ 0.38 µm...≤ 1.6 µm (optionally electropolished)
Available in all common connection sizes and variants

2/2-way diaphragm valve with manually operated actuator

Type 3233

Valve body and diaphragm are available in various materials and variants
Wetted surfaces from Ra ≤ 0.38 µm...≤ 1.6 µm (optionally electropolished)
Available in all common connection sizes and variants

During laboratory testing, we found steam rate savings of up to 53.8% per valve (with a temperature delta of 100 K). Multiply this energy saving with the number of valves in your plant – and then multiply again with the number of CIP/SIP cycles per year!

The tube Valve body 3^rd Generation Process : The tube is hydroformed , a soft but strong process joining the mounting interfaces form – locking. Then processed to annealing and rolling process. During laser welding for the best hygienic sealing , two laser weld lines are applied without adding any material . Then the whole body is heat-treated and processed electro polishing.

Here is the final beauty of Tube Valve Body 3^rd Generation ( TVB3G ) with light weight , hygienic design , reduced thermal mass , high burst pressure along with EHEDG certified CIP process & FDA approval.
