“Clogging” which tends to cause problems when the powder is discharged from the container.
Discharge may take a long time or stop, resulting in uneven product quality.
In the first place, why does the phenomenon of powder clogging occur??

The main cause is the powder pressure and friction!

Ideal discharge state: mass flow

Due to the pressure of the powder in the container and the friction generated on the surface, the powder becomes difficult to slip and discharge.

What happens when the Gasket swells?

What is swelling in the first place?

Depending on the compatibility of the gasket and the liquid, the gasket may absorb the liquid and expand, resulting in flabby. This is called “swelling”.
This phenomenon is caused by the liquid getting into the intermolecular space of the rubber of the gasket.
As an image, it is similar to the condition when wakame is rehydrated.

What are the risks of swelling?

Easy to wash & mounting without tools! Essential for containers and piping “Tri-clamp Ferrule”

Piping and valves are connected to stainless steel containers and related equipment when water or raw materials are fed into them. These connections use “joints” such as threaded fittings, flanges, and ferrules.

We will introduce their applications, types in this article, and we will also introduce the related products of “Tri-clamp ferrules” which are used in processes that require a more hygienic environment.

What you'll know from this article:

1.How tri-clamp ferrule works and how it is used
2. Various standards of tri-clamp ferrule
3. Basic knowledge of tri-clamp ferrule and its connecting joints

What is Tri-clamp Ferrule?

Ferrule is a fitting which is easy to assemble and disassemble and easy to clean.
It is also called “sanitary piping” or “sanitary fitting”.

How the Tri-clamp Ferrule Works

Ferrule has a groove in the connection and holds the cruciform shaped gasket between them. It can be fastened with a clamp band.
Tightening and loosening can be done easily by hand without tools.
