Control valve, sanitary, MK978 series

3A certified. Finish of the wetted parts: 32Ra/0.8μm.

FB6903 is necessary to protect products from backflow. The valve remains open due to the forward flow of fluid. If the flow is interrupted, the plug is pressed against the seat by a spring, causing it to close due to backflow. This valve is used in many sanitary applications and is a 3A certified product in accordance with the 58-01 standard. <Specifications> - Connection diameter: 1/2" to 4" - Connection type: Sanitary clamp - Body style: 3-piece - Body material: 316SS - Seat material: EPDM or Viton - Metal surface finish: Wetted parts 32Ra/0.8μm or further treatment - Pressure rating @ room temperature: 0.966MPa - Industrial standards and testing: 3A certification - Cracking pressure for 1/2" and 3/4": < 0.069MPa - Cracking pressure for 1" to 4": < 0.035MPa *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The FB6C pressure regulator controls the pressure of devices that require maintenance in sanitary conditions. The FB6C operates by sensing the pressure on the underside of the diaphragm downstream of the seat. When the downstream pressure approaches the set pressure, the force exerted by the pressure on the diaphragm begins to move the plug upward to close it, overcoming the force of the set spring. This reduces the downstream pressure and maintains the set pressure. When the pressure on the underside of the diaphragm starts to drop, the spring force pushes the plug downward to maintain the set pressure. <Features> • No sliding parts in contact with the fluid – prevents microbial growth • 100% 316L stainless steel body and trim • Self-draining • High precision (large diameter diaphragm with low droop) For performance table demonstrations of this product, please contact the distributor • Dome lock pin can be inserted into the spring housing to accommodate CIP and SIP • EPDM diaphragm is highly corrosion-resistant and has FDA and 3A certification *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The FB5C back pressure regulator provides suitable hard seats and a variety of diaphragms and O-ring materials for aseptic back pressure applications. The FB5C operates by sensing the pressure or back pressure of the fluid supplied to the underside of the diaphragm from the side-mounted inlet. When the back pressure exceeds the set pressure, the load force on the diaphragm compresses the spring, causing the stem to function in an open state from the seat. As the flow increases and the back pressure is discharged, the forces of the spring and diaphragm are relieved, allowing the stem to return to its normally closed position. Changing the set pressure can be done simply by turning the adjustment screw to increase or decrease pressure within the range of the regulator spring settings. <Features> • No sliding parts in contact with the fluid – prevents microbial growth • 100% 316L stainless steel body and trim • Self-draining • No threaded parts in disassembly for cleaning • Spring housing compatible with CIP and SIP *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Compatible with both CIP and SIP processes. Compact design. Hygienic design. Complies with extensive applications of ASME BPE.

The inline sight glass provided by Steriflow complies with the extensive applications of ASME BPE and is particularly suitable for high-purity piping systems in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. The structure features a transparent window design that offers a wide field of view and does not require backlighting. The inner diameter of the glass tube and connection matches the pipe diameter, ensuring no fluid residue occurs even when installed horizontally. Additionally, the sight glass window is suitable for various applications, especially for high-purity containers and piping systems in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. The large-diameter borosilicate window guarantees an appropriate field of view for the process. The SGW series combines borosilicate glass with stainless steel Tri-clamp™ rings using advanced technical methods. The two components form a continuous single unit with sufficient strength, free of gaps or cracks, and there are no joining materials between the glass and the ring.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies.
