Bio-Pharm Fittings from VNE - BioConnect©

BioConnect^©

• Optimized recess contour (patent approved)
• Highest press-on power at the transitions to wetted areas prevents dirt and germs getting into the sealing space (see ASME-BPE, Ch. SD-3.7.2 and 3.7.6)
• Defined expansion pockets excludes dangerous "escalator effect" between wetted area and elastomer seat (see ASME-BPE, Ch. SD-3.7.2)
• Self-draining even after expansion of seal due to high temperature (see ASME-BPE, Ch. SD-3.7.7)
• Metal-to-metal-stop avoids stress or overcompression of gaskets (O-ring) (see ASME-BPE, Ch. SD-3.7.8)
• nominal pressure PN16 (D6 - DN100, 1/2" - 4")

Connect S© - a unique solution without elastomer gasket

• Excellent cleanability
• Tested by Fraunhofer-Institut for Grenzflächen-und Bioverfahrenstechnik
• Hermetic tightness even under repeated temperature changes
• Defined pre-stressing on the metallic sealing surface
• No gasket - no elevator effect
• Protection of the sealing contour against damage
• Axial positioning by metal-to-metal-stop
• Exact positioning by central guidance
• Material grad 1.4435/316 L; other grades on request
• Wetted areas with roughness Ra<0,8µm (Ra<0,5µm on demand)
