Mounting Flange/Connection Component – Beverage Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered mounting flange or connection component designed specifically for spray balls and nozzles in industrial cleaning and sanitization systems. This component provides a secure, leak-proof interface between the spray device and the tank/vessel wall, ensuring proper alignment and distribution of cleaning fluids. It typically features standardized bolt patterns, gasket surfaces, and connection threads compatible with various spray ball designs.

Working Principle

The mounting flange creates a sealed mechanical connection between the spray ball/nozzle and the process vessel. It transfers the mechanical load from the spray device to the vessel structure while maintaining a fluid-tight seal through compression of gaskets or O-rings. The flange's geometry ensures proper spray pattern orientation and prevents rotation during operation.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304, 316, 316L), carbon steel with food-grade coatings, or specialized alloys for corrosive environments. Gaskets: FDA-approved EPDM, silicone, PTFE, or Viton.

Technical Parameters

Seal Type Flat face, raised face, or groove for O-ring
Bolt Pattern Standardized per flange size
Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sanitary applications
Connection Type Tri-clamp, DIN, SMS, RJT, or threaded
Pressure Rating 10-150 PSI (0.7-10.3 bar)
Temperature Range -20°C to 150°C

Standards

ISO 2852, DIN 11851, 3-A Sanitary Standards, ASME BPE
