Sanitary Clamps

A sanitary clamp, also called a sanitary fitting, is used to seal two ferrules together quickly, securely and without creating sites where contamination can collect or that can harbor bacteria. Fast connections are important in pharmaceutical and biotech applications, in which pipe and tube connections are frequently disassembled for cleaning and equipment reconfiguration. A reliable leak-free connection is imperative to meet FDA requirements for sterile process control. Often sanitary clamps must perform at high pressure and temperature.

  • Standards: ASME Section VIII Appendix 24
Anti-Galling Clamp
Produced to the highest hygienic engineering standards, the full line of LJ Star Anti-Galling Clamps are designed to prevent the adhesion of materials due to friction and to keep critical processes running reliably and efficiently.
  • Investment casting using ASME SA-351/SA-351M stainless
  • Pickled and passivated (removes “free iron” particles from surface that would “rust”)
  • Heat treated according to ASME SA-315/SA-351M
  • Barrel polished and sized using a hydraulic press
Safety Sanitary Fittings and Clamps, Series Safety Clamp
The Safety Clamp protects workers by assuring the bolting mechanism cannot release suddenly while a worker is loosening the bolt. Releasing the Safety Clamp is only possible when the wing-nut has been significantly loosened to enable the smaller diameter of the bolt to swing through the sectioned gate, ensuring the Safety Clamp cannot be knocked or accidentally opened.
  • Material: 316 stainless steel.
  • Sizes: 1/2 to 12 inches.
  • Pressure: up to 870 psig.
  • Temperature: 450 degrees F and higher.
  • Bolt: safety feature prevents unintentional opening
  • Hinge: 2 pin
  • Fastener: wing nut or hex nut.
  • Standards: CE
Safety Sanitary Clamp - Series Lockout
An advanced version of the Shrouded Safety Clamp, having a domed nut. The shroud is extended in length and modified to accept a padlock to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Material: 316 stainless steel.
  • Sizes: 1/2 to 12 inches.
  • Pressure: up to 870 psig.
  • Temperature: 450 degrees F and higher.
  • Bolt: safety feature prevents unintentional opening
  • Hinge: 2 pin
  • Fastener: shrouded hex nut protected by lock.
  • Standards: CE
Sanitary Fitting Eliminates Deadleg, Series TCI
TCI ClampConnect™ virtually eliminates the dead space associated with a standard ferrule. Using a standard sanitary clamp connection, the TCI ClampConnect can be used with sight glasses, lights, instrumentation, rupture discs in pharmaceutical and biotech processes.
  • Material: 316 stainless steel (other nickel alloys available)
  • Sizes: 1/2 to 8 inches.
  • Pressure: up to 100 psig.
  • Temperature: 400 degrees F and higher.
  • Clamp: accepts any standard sanitary clamp
  • Standards: ASME VIII Division 2,   Mandatory Appendix 2
Hygienic Gaskets, Series Bio-LOK™
Virtually immune to degradation by commonly used CIP/SIP chemicals. Non-elastomeric sanitary-design gaskets are based on proprietary GYLON modified PTFE technology and are compatible with a wide variety of chemicals and processing applications. BIO-LOK™ gaskets are designed to not deform into the process flow stream, which could otherwise create areas where harmful bacteria could accumulate. Production date code traceability.
  • Material: modified PTFE
  • Size: ½ to 4 inches.
  • Temperature: 41°F to 356°F.
  • Pressure: up to 800 psig.
  • Standards: FDA, USP Class VI, DIN, ISO, BS, ASME-BPE, SMS.
