- It requires a difficult hand weld
- It is difficult to know if full penetration of the weld area has been accomplished.
- The weld is difficult to polish
- Once polished, it is impossible to tell how much wall thickness is left in the joint

When making sanitary manifolds, using the “fish mouth” fabrication method has many shortcomings; -
We design and manufacture custom sanitary jacketed assemblies for both heating and cooling applications, including:- Sanitary spool pieces and piping assemblies (including jacketed holding tubes)
- Sanitary fittings
- Pump casings
- Diaphragm valves
- Ball valves
- Sanitary single seat valves

There is a wide variety of stainless steel sanitary process connection systems used in the world. European sanitary fittings systems include DIN 11851, SMS, RJT and IDF fittings. Often, process equipment built in the Europe comes to the US with stainless steel piping using one of these connection systems. We build custom adapters to allow users to transition to sanitary clamp systems in a clean and efficient manner. -
We have been designing and building sanitary flow transfer panels and sanitary utility panels for over 25 years. Our completed projects range from simple 3-ports flow diversion panels to highly complex 3 dimensional sanitary flow transfer panels with over 100 ports and electronic feedback on each circuit. Our client list consists of most of the major biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the U.S. -
Sanitary stainless steel spool pieces are available in up to 20 foot lengths. Standard materials are 304 and 316L stainless steel. Sanitary spools are also available in higher alloy such as AL6XN and Hastelloy are also available. -
When working with high value products, any liquid left in a piping system can be costly. We offer a line of sanitary orifices the reduce this risk when a fixed orifice pressure reduction is required in the process. Unlike most orifice plates which can leave some liquid on the upstream side of the plate, the LPE sanitary orifices are fully draining when mounted in the vertical position. The tapered interior design ensures that there will be no product hold up.
