Stainless Steel 3-Piece Tri-Clamp Ball Valve (High Platform/Clamped Pneumatic)

This product is a high-performance isolation valve specifically designed for hygienic and clean industries. It combines the advantages of a 3-piece stainless steel ball valve (easy maintenance) with the benefits of a Tri-Clamp (Quick-Connect) connection (easy disassembly, high cleanliness).

This valve is commonly known as a Sanitary Tri-Clamp Ball Valve or 3-Piece High Platform Clamped Ball Valve.

Product Key Features and Advantages

Feature	Description	Sanitary Benefit
Body Structure	3-Piece	Allows the central body (containing the ball and seats) to be easily removed by loosening the body bolts without cutting the pipeline. Ideal for quick maintenance and seal replacement.
Connection Type	Tri-Clamp / Clamped	Uses a clamp to create a secure, quick-disconnect, crevice-free seal. This is the standard connection for food and pharmaceutical systems.
Material	Stainless Steel $\text{304}$ (Often available in $\text{316}\text{L}$ )	$\text{304}$ offers excellent general corrosion resistance. $\text{316}\text{L}$ is preferred for aggressive media or pharmaceutical use.
Platform Design	High Platform	Specifically designed for the direct mounting of pneumatic or electric actuators, ensuring stable, accurate alignment for automation.
Actuation	Manual (Lever) or Pneumatic (Clamped Pneumatic Ball Valve)	Can be operated manually or equipped with a pneumatic actuator for remote/automated $\text{ON}/\text{OFF}$ control.
Function	Isolation ( $\text{ON}/\text{OFF}$ Shut-off)	Primarily used as a main block valve in fluid lines.

📋 Application Scope

Due to its excellent hygiene standards and convenient maintainability, this valve is widely used in:

Food and Beverage: Isolation and transfer of milk, beer, juices, and syrups.
Pharmaceutical Engineering: $\text{WFI}$ (Water for Injection) systems, bioreactors, and clean process lines.
Fine Chemicals: Any fluid system requiring quick access and high-cleanliness standards.

Automation Option: Clamped Pneumatic Ball Valve

When selecting the Clamped Pneumatic Ball Valve option, the valve is automated via a pneumatic actuator:

Characteristic: Provides fast response and is suitable for automated control systems requiring frequent, rapid cycling.
Advantage: The combination of a sanitary quick-connect mechanism with automated actuation makes this the ideal choice for modern $\text{CIP}/\text{SIP}$ (Clean-in-Place/Sterilization-in-Place) processes.
