Diaphragm valves

The diaphragm seal moves independently of the shoulder seal (the seal between the inside and outside of the valve). Using a manual or pneumatic actuator, you can easily open and close the seal. The cylindrical shape of the diaphragm, when squeezed into the sealing position, holds the seal—tested to an internal water pressure of up to 20 bar (varies depending on diaphragm material and actuator type) without leakage.

When the valve is closed, the unique CIP/SIP “behind-the-seat flow path” can be created if you add a CIP or SIP port. This flow path makes it easy to steam or clean the valve while the valve is closed. This allows for validated aseptic and sterile system connections and transfers to be performed. Combined these features save time and money by reducing maintenance time, improving performance with a less restrictive flow path.
