Saunders® Standard 2 Way

Overview

Saunders® invented the diaphragm valve concept and then pioneered the development of the first true high purity diaphragm valve with the introduction of the AFP forged 316L/1.4435 body range. The entrapment free design and self-draining characteristics of the diaphragm valve body makes it the ideal choice for both aseptic processes and systems that must be cleaned in place. Top entry design allows maintenance while the valve is installed and permits the valve to be welded in place reducing the required number of mechanical joints and enhancing system security.

Saunders® Standard Machined Block and Zero Dead Leg

Overview

Machined integrally from a block, the Machined T Valve normally features three common ports with the same bore dimensions and incorporates a valve body and a tee fitting into a single solution. Machined    T valves form the ideal solution for feeding laterals off recirculating loops, sample points or use-point applications. The bodies can be supplied with weld or hygienic clamp end connections or included U-bend configurations for point of use.

Saunders® Welded Tandems and Manifolds

Overview

The most common customized valve concept is the tandem valve or valve and fitting combination. A main valve is ported and a section of tube is welded to the port to create an access point into the valve. This tube can in turn be welded to a second valve forming a two-valve cluster, or the tube can be turned into a weld end, hygienic clamp or other type of fitting. The resultant product is designed to optimise drain ability and meets standard process considerations including camp’s for dead leg minimisation.
