Steam Port: Flow Capacity Adjustable 0-50 kg/h

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered steam port component integrated into sterile product tank interfaces that facilitates controlled steam injection for sterilization processes, temperature regulation, and pressure management in aseptic manufacturing environments. It ensures sterile conditions by delivering saturated steam at specified parameters while maintaining tank integrity.

Working Principle

Operates by connecting to a steam supply system to deliver controlled steam flow into the sterile product tank. The port regulates steam pressure and temperature through integrated valves and sensors, creating a sterile environment by eliminating microorganisms through thermal exposure while maintaining precise process parameters.

Materials

316L stainless steel (ASTM A240/A276), FDA-compliant elastomer seals (EPDM or silicone), with electropolished surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) for cleanability and corrosion resistance.
