- Permits docking a fixed system, such as a tank, to an alpha flange that is stationary
- Incorporates DDP’s proprietary NR Technology
- Compatible with all industry beta flanges
- Steam sterilization compatible with the addition of a pressure clamp
- Triclover flange attachment to tank
System Description
The Beta NR-HP flange is a beta flange that is configured to dock to a stationary alpha flange, such as one found on an isolator system.
The Beta NR-HP incorporates Dynamic Design Pharma’s NR Technology that permits the leak tight rotation of the beta flange relative to its mount.
The Beta NR-HP also includes features that, with the addition of an external pressure clamp, permits steam sterilization of the flange while attached to the system being docked.
Features
- The Beta NR-HP is attached to a stopper tank via a triclover clamp connection.
- The beta flange is an industry standard beta from any leading manufacturer
- The beta flange is mounted onto a NR flange that is based on DDP’s proprietary NR Technology.
- Material handling system interface features
- Handles attached to the NR flange permit rotation of the beta flange during the docking process.
- A floating plate that is part of the NR Flange compresses two seals together when an external pressure clamp is installed. The flange is then capable of withstanding the internal pressure generated by steam sterilization of the internal volume of the system.
Specifications
- Nominal port size: 190mm
- Adaptable to any industry standard beta flange
- NR Flange construction: 316L stainless steel structure with internal ball bearing system and dynamic seal.
- Materials: 316L Stainless steel, silicone, Teflon
- Orientation: Operable in any orientation
- Compatible with steam sterilization
- Leak tightness:
- Flange (docking operations): Ammonia leak test at 250 pascal internal pressure
- With HP Clamp (steam sterilization): 30 psi underwater test for 5 minutes per orientation
Advantages & Applications
- Transfer of sterile components, such as stoppers, from a tank to the filling machine.
- Used in conjunction with a isolator wall mounted alpha flange or Alpha XT system
