Stainless Steel Stub End (Dairy) Supplier in Saudi Arabia

Stub End (Dairy)

Our Hygienic Stainless Steel Stub Ends (Sanitary Lap Joint Ends) provide a high-integrity flanged interface for hygienic process systems. Manufactured from premium SS 304 and SS 316L, these stub ends are designed to work in tandem with Lap Joint flanges, allowing for a rotatable flanged connection on thin-walled sanitary tubing. Featuring a mirror-polished internal bore (Ra < 0.6μm), they ensure zero product entrapment in B2B food, beverage, and pharmaceutical infrastructure.

Product Overview

The Hygienic Stub End is the essential bridge between modular flanged connections and high-purity process tubing. Unlike industrial schedule stub ends, these are precision-sized to match the Outer Diameter (OD) of sanitary tubes, ensuring a perfectly flush internal transition that satisfies the most stringent hygiene requirements.

Rotatable Flange Flexibility

[Image showing a hygienic stub end paired with a loose lap joint flange] When paired with a Lap Joint (Backing) flange, the stub end allows for 360-degree rotation of the bolt holes. This is a critical advantage in complex hygienic manifolds where precise alignment of fixed flanged equipment—such as pumps, tanks, or large valves—is required. Because the flange does not touch the process media, the stub end maintains the aseptic integrity of the system.

Aseptic Surface Engineering

Surface chemistry is paramount in hygienic environments. Our stub ends are mechanically polished to a mirror finish (Ra < 0.6μm), eliminating microscopic harbor points where bacteria could thrive. This high-purity finish ensures that Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Steam-in-Place (SIP) cycles are completely effective, maintaining the safety of your product batch.

Global Hygienic Standard Compliance

We offer stub ends that align with the engineering codes utilized in high-purity industries worldwide:

  • SMS & ISO: The standard choice for liquid food and beverage distribution headers.

  • DIN 11850: Common in European pharmaceutical and high-end chemical process skids.

  • ASTM A270: American standard for seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel sanitary tubing fittings.

Applications

  • Modular Hygienic Skids: Providing flexible disconnect points between modular process units, allowing for rapid equipment swaps or system cleaning.

  • Aseptic Milk Processing: Essential for connecting raw milk reception lines to large-scale pasteurization units where frequent pipe rotation is needed for alignment.

  • Brewing Fermentation Headers: Managing the interface between stainless steel fermentation vessels and main product distribution lines.

  • Pharmaceutical Water Systems: Creating flanged ports on WFI (Water for Injection) storage tanks that require absolute aseptic seals and easy dismantling.

  • Food Product Filling Lines: Connecting viscous product lines (sauces, oils, purees) to filling machines where regular disassembly for manual inspection is required.

  • Biotech Reactors: Providing high-purity flanged connections for bioreactor inlets and outlets where biofilm prevention is a critical operational safety standard.
