THE UNIQUE DESIGN Hygienic design and function SaniComp is characterised by a completely hygienic design. SaniComp is easy to clean and therefore especially suitable for hygienic production. It’s not just our belief. Tests demonstrates, among other things, that SaniComp is easier to clean than a reference pipe with the same dimensions and under the same conditions. The installed position of SaniComp whether horizontal or vertical has no influence on the cleaning result. The Bellows The Bellows are supplied with the chosen connecting ends. A cover protects the internal parts. The cover is “floating” mounted on O-rings and seals. To ensure that no dirt can accumulate between the Bellows and cover, a seal ring is mounted between the cover and the end. The cover can be equipped with drain plugs, which, if vented can serve as an indicator for leaks as a control in the daily inspection. The placement of these drain vents is optional, depending on where it is best suited in the SaniComp fitted pipe. SaniComp is available in two different design versions: • Sanicomp in stainless steel and with sealing’s made from POM/ PTFE • SaniComp manufactured completely from stainless steel

THE BELLOW IS THE UNIQUE PART THE SANICOMP BELLOW SaniComp fulfils both demands for cleanliness and flexibility. This is due to the optimum depth of the convolutions of the Bellow combined with a specific distance between these convolutions. With this construction, optimum turbulence between each convolution is achieved which cleans the convolutions. The Bellow geometry and the cleaning ability of the Expansion Joint is tested and verified. THE ORDINARY BELLOW An ordinary steel Bellow typically has a number of convolutions placed close to each other with a significant height, that absorbs predefined movements. An Expansion Joint installed in hygienic productions must fulfil a number of demands. The Compensator must be cleanable and for that reason residues from the process medium must not remain in the convolutions of the Bellow after the cleaning of the pipeline. An ordinary Bellow is therefore inappropriate in this environment as its convolutions are too deep to provide the required turbulence.
