In industries where hygiene is crucial, even a small amount of bacteria can lead to significant problems throughout the operation. These problems can compromise product quality, cause operational delays, and result in costly clean-up efforts.
One important yet often neglected aspect of maintaining a hygienic process line is the hygienic clamp used to secure ferrules. Traditional single-pin clamps can easily be overtightened, pushing the gasket into the ferrule and creating gaps where bacteria can thrive. Conversely, if the clamp is under-tightened, it can leave spaces that trap materials beyond the reach of clean-in-place (CIP) systems.
Dixon’s Clever Clamp offers a solution to the issues of over-tightening and under-tightening with its innovative, patent-pending design. It features a unique lever mechanism that ensures a perfect seal every time, delivering consistent performance. The material selection collar allows it to work with both rubber and PTFE gaskets, ensuring optimal compression and a secure seal with either type. Pre-adjusted to the ideal torque, the Clever Clamp removes the risk of improper tightening.
Unlike traditional clamps that often have threads susceptible to stripping or contamination from leaks, the Clever Clamp is thread-free, making installation and replacement across multiple clamps in a process line quicker and easier. Additionally, it includes an optional spring-loaded, self-locking pin for added security, making it tamper-resistant and preventing unauthorized access, which helps protect valuable products.
Made from durable 304 stainless steel, the Clever Clamp comes in 1-1/2″, 2″, and 3″ diameters, ensuring compatibility with any standard tri-clamp installation. Thanks to its innovative design and user-friendly features, the Clever Clamp has already been tested and approved by many food processing facilities throughout the UK.
By adopting the Clever Clamp, businesses can ensure superior hygiene, enhanced operational efficiency, and reduced risks of bacterial contamination.
