DIN-11851 Food Grade Fittings and Connectors: Hygienic Connections
What are DIN 11851 fittings?
DIN 11851 fittings are an essential choice in industries that demand the highest standards of hygiene and food safety. Specifically designed for fluid handling in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical environments, these components meet rigorous quality standards and offer a reliable and durable solution.
These fittings are classified as quick-connect fittings used to join pipes, hoses, and equipment in applications where hygiene and safety are paramount. They are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316), which provides excellent corrosion resistance and facilitates cleaning and disinfection.
Its characteristics
- Smooth, non-porous surfaces to prevent the accumulation of bacteria.
- Gaskets made of food-compatible materials (EPDM, silicone, etc.) to ensure a watertight seal and prevent contamination.
- Easy assembly and disassembly.
- They comply with the most demanding hygiene and food safety standards.
Its applications
- Food industry: In the manufacture of tanks, pipes and equipment for the processing of food and beverages.
- Pharmaceutical industry: In the production of medicines and chemical products.
- Cosmetics industry: In the manufacture of cosmetic and personal hygiene products.
- Biotechnology: In laboratory equipment and production plants.
- Construction: In piping systems for drinking water, wastewater and heating systems.
