Ritec partnerBS&B Sanitary Vac-Saf disks
Hygienic low-pressure and bidirectional rupture disks for tri-clamp ferrule installation: HiLo-S, RLBP-S, AVB-ST, VKB-S and GHI, DN40 to DN200, from 12 mbar to 12 bar.
Hygienic processes need rupture disks that seal on a tri-clamp ferrule, clean in place and withstand the vacuum that follows a steam sterilisation cycle. The Sanitary Vac-Saf family adapts the proven Vac-Saf designs to exactly that environment.
| Model | Duty | Burst range | Holder |
|---|---|---|---|
| HiLo-S | Bidirectional: vacuum and overpressure in one disk | 12 – 747 mbar low · 0.2 – 5.2 bar high | HL-C |
| RLBP-S / RLBV-S | Very low pressure, one or two directions | 7 mbar – 5.2 bar | KB-C, P/KB-C |
| AVB-ST | Low pressure with integral vacuum support | 0.2 – 6.9 bar | VB-C |
| VKB-S / P-VKB-S | Two-way with unequal settings, optional liner | 14 – 110 mbar low · 0.5 – 12 bar high | KB-C, P/KB-C |
| GHI | Low pressure, holder-free clamp installation | 13 – 226 mbar low · 0.5 – 2 bar high | none |
All disks are non-fragmenting and available with two-direction calibration where indicated. Materials are 316L as standard with Hastelloy C-276 and other alloys for aggressive buffers and solvents. Please verify the level of vacuum resistance you need: some types are available with partial rather than full vacuum resistance.
Selection data we need
Ferrule size and standard (DIN, ISO, ASME BPE), burst pressure in each direction with temperature, CIP/SIP conditions, medium, and whether full vacuum occurs.
Applications
- Bioreactors and fermenters
- Pharmaceutical vessels under vacuum and CIP/SIP cycles
- Food and beverage tanks
- Vacuum protection of hygienic equipment
