Tri-Clamp

Sanitary Connection System for Safe and Hygienic Operations

Tri-Clamp connections are sanitary quick-joint systems designed to deliver maximum hygiene, safety, and efficiency in process environments across the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. Composed of three key elements—a ferrule, a gasket, and a clamp—this connection system ensures a secure, leak-proof seal while allowing rapid disassembly for cleaning and maintenance. The ferrules, typically made from AISI 316L stainless steel, are welded to pipelines or equipment and available in various standards such as ISO 2852, DIN 32676, and BS 4825 to meet different plant requirements. Between the ferrules, a hygienic gasket—made from FDA-compliant materials like EPDM, silicone, PTFE, or Viton—ensures tight sealing, preventing leaks and protecting product integrity. The connection is secured with a clamp, available in several versions including single-hinge, double-hinge, and high-pressure options, depending on the application. Thanks to its tool-free operation, the Tri-Clamp system streamlines inspection and maintenance while maintaining full compliance with cGMP and other regulatory standards. It is the go-to solution for modular process systems where hygiene, speed, and reliability are essential.
