Stainless Steel Dairy Unions Supplier in Saudi Arabia

Dairy Unions

Our Hygienic Stainless Steel Unions are precision-engineered connectors designed for rapid assembly and disassembly of sterile process lines. Available in SMS 1146 and DIN 11851 international standards, these unions are manufactured from premium SS 304 and SS 316L. Featuring mirror-polished internal surfaces and high-durability food-grade seals, they provide a leak-proof, aseptic interface for mission-critical B2B applications in the food, beverage, and biotech sectors.

Product Overview

A Hygienic Union is a specialized mechanical joint that allows sections of a process line to be disconnected without cutting the pipe. Unlike industrial threaded unions, these are designed with a “flush” internal bore, ensuring that no product remains trapped at the joint, which is vital for maintaining a sterile environment.

Precision Components for Aseptic Integrity

Each union assembly consists of four precision-machined components:

  1. The Male Part: Features an external thread.

  2. The Liner: A smooth-bore component that mates with the male part.

  3. The Nut: A heavy-duty round or hex nut that pulls the assembly together.

  4. The Seal: A high-performance gasket (EPDM, Silicone, or Viton) that ensures a leak-proof, crevice-free interface.

Seamless Integration with Global Standards

We stock unions that comply with the world’s leading hygienic engineering codes:

  • SMS 1146 (Swedish Milk Standard): Recognized for its compact design and ease of use in beverage and liquid food manifolds.

  • DIN 11851 (German Standard): A robust, heavy-duty union widely used throughout European chemical and pharmaceutical facilities for its high-pressure resilience.

High-Purity Metallurgy and Finish

Constructed from AISI 304 or 316L Stainless Steel, our unions are fully resistant to the aggressive acids and high-temperature steam used in Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Steam-in-Place (SIP) protocols. All wetted surfaces are mirror-polished to Ra < 0.6μm, ensuring the joint remains free of bacterial harbor points.

Applications

  • Modular Process Skids: Provides accessible disconnect points in high-purity filtration and batching skids, allowing for rapid component swaps or maintenance without disturbing the entire system.

  • High-Purity Beverage Distribution: Critical for managing manifold configurations in breweries and juice plants where lines must be reconfigured or dismantled for manual inspection.

  • Sterile Milk Processing: Used on the inlet/outlet ports of pasteurizers and storage silos to provide a robust, leak-proof joint that can withstand frequent thermal expansion.

  • Pharmaceutical Liquid Batching: Ensuring high-integrity, crevice-free connections in liquid medicine production lines and WFI (Water for Injection) loops.

  • Cosmetic Emulsion Lines: Handling viscous products such as creams and lotions where “easy-break” connections are necessary for thorough cleaning between product changeovers.

  • Biotech Fermentation Vessels: Providing high-purity interface points for bioreactor sampling and feeding lines where absolute aseptic integrity is a safety standard.
