Smart Clamp® Half Turn Sanitary Tri-Clamp®, 304 Stainless Steel
Part # : SMARTCLAMP
Price : $138.54 $198.83
The Rubber Fab Smart Clamp is the next generation of sanitary hinge clamps - the one-piece, completely unitized, Smart Clamp™. With features that include half-turn installation, adjustable torque, deeper channels, and faster up time, the benefits of Rubber Fab's Smart Clamp™ far exceed any other sanitary clamp.
One of the greatest production challenges is maintaining a sanitary system. Gaskets form an integral part of every sanitary system— for an effective seal, appropriate gasket choice, correct installation and proper compression are necessary. Application requirements will dictate gasket choice and all Tri-Clamp® Gaskets must be seated properly within the pipe ferrules if they are to seal effectively. The application of proper torque will then provide for a substantially flush, or perfect surface, seal. An over-tightened gasket will intrude into the pipe I.D. and lead to erosion of the gasket and contamination of the process stream. The gasket intrusion will also cause a damming effect inside the pipeline allowing soil and bacteria to collect. If additional torque is applied, the stress upon the gasket can cause tearing and additional process contamination. When a gasket is under-tightened, the result is a negative recess between the ferrules allowing soil and bacteria to accumulate and become entrapped.
Rubber Fab understands that one gasket does not meet every system's needs. This is why the Smart Clamp™ is pre-set with multiple torque settings that have been tested and designed to work with all Rubber Fab Type I and Type II (Flanged) Tri-Clamp® elastomeric gaskets – Tuf-Flex®, Eco-Flex, Silicone, FKM, EPDM, and Buna. In systems with harmonic vibrations there is a concern that traditional wing-nut clamps will become loose. Smart Clamp™ has successfully been tested to withstand mechanical vibrations inherent in systems with pumps and other repetitive vibration prone equipment. The Smart Clamp™ is also designed to address Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) workplace conditions as outlined in the thumb-finger grip of military spec MIL-STD-1472F. Effective and successful "fits", or fixes, assure high productivity, avoidance of illness/injury risks, workman’s comp claims, and increased protection among the workforce. With a hinge that doesn't collapse, Smart Clamp™ can easily be positioned and controlled around tough installation locations. The deeper clamp channel allows the ferrules and gasket to properly nest together ensuring proper alignment. Most importantly, the Smart Clamp™ will not close unless the gasket is properly aligned, so you can have confidence that installation is correct in all spots.
