Features

 

Benefits

  • Consists of a housing made as a socket for direct welding into the tank wall or pipework, a threaded nipple, a membrane and a perforated disc that keeps the membrane in place.
  • Sealed micro sample port design ensures product integrity during sampling
 
  • Accurate, contamination-free sampling in micro volumes
  • Easy to sterilize and clean during standard CIP/SIP procedures
  • Minimal product disruption and fast sample access
  • Simple membrane replacement design
  • Reliable and hygienic sampling valve solution

How does SB Micro Sampling Port Type M work?

Before sampling, sterilize the sampling port membrane with alcohol, for instance. The internal side of the rubber membrane is cleaned automatically during tank or pipe CIP.

To take a sample, unscrew the cap and insert a hypodermic needle through the micro sample port membrane. The membrane maintains a sterile barrier while allowing safe fluid extraction. Membrane replacement is straightforward: when the tank is empty and pressure-free, unscrew the nipple, remove the disc, replace the membrane, and reassemble securely.
