SAFETY IN THE PLANT
HYGIENIC
Claire Lloyd introduces a rupture disc for applications with strict hygiene requirements
T
here are two main challenges for aseptic processes: fi rstly, sterility is not guaranteed with DIN or EN fl anges, and secondly, existing
system parts must be modifi ed to integrate these fl anges, which create undesirable dead spaces.
Cutting pipes, attaching new fl ange connections, fl anging pipe sections with an integrated rupture disc and correcting suspensions if necessary – the to-do list of fi tters is extensive.
Rembe’s KUB clean rupture disc
with sanitary gaskets provides help. If a process is to be secured (retrospectively), an existing tri-clamp connection can be replaced by a KUB clean rupture disc without modifying the existing pipework. Fitters no longer need to do the tasks described above. T is solution enables fast, simple and reliable process safety. T e secret lies in the combination of a high-quality reverse acting rupture disc and a special gasket, which is
characterised by durability and resistance. T e integrated gasket in the rupture disc assembly is also particularly robust and corrosion resistant. If necessary, the tri-clamp connection can be opened and the rupture disc and gasket can be easily removed.
INTEGRATED SIGNALLING A major advantage of the KUB clean is that it can be supplied with integrated
PRESSURE RELIEF
The KUB clean rupture disc is ideal for applications with strict hygiene requirements
signalling to provide constant monitoring of the rupture disc as well as reliable notifi cation of disc burst when connected into a process control system – all from one installation point, and as a single device. T anks to the innovative design it is not necessary to route a cable out of the rupture disc holder, which avoids the need for a cable gland and thus leads to increased leak-tightness of the installation. Whereas for conventional rupture discs and signalling the rupture disc had to be installed separately from the signalling device, the new rupture discs with integrated signalling can be easily installed and maintained as a single component.
MEETING HIGH STANDARDS
Fulfi lling the hygienic standards and FDA requirements, the KUB clean with integrated signalling is quick and simple to install. Providing a completely leak-tight seal, the rupture disc with integrated signalling off ers the most reliable burst notifi cation under stringent, hygienic operating conditions.
