PTFE MANIFOLDS AND SPECIAL ITEMS

PTFE MANIFOLDS AND SPECIAL ITEMS

Anticorrosive special items with or without antistatic coating: manifold valve, PTFE pipe, multi outlet… 

PTFE-lined manifolds are special piping items used when the standard pipe and fitting items do not allow the realisation of the requested assembly.

Manifolds are widely used as collector and multi-loading facilities in the pharmaceutical industry.

Key features: 

• Diameter from DN 40 (1.1/2”) to DN 300 (12”)
• Maximum length up to 2 meters
• PTFE thickness from 5 mm up to 12 mm
• Carbon or Stainless Steel construction, lined by isostatic molding of PTFE
• Antistatic qualities available

Customer benefits: 

• Customized items
• Multi inlet and outlet device
• Construction in one single piece
• Solution to short-dimension problems

Material expertise: 

Mersen developed an original process of PTFE isostatic molding made directly inside the steel parts. This customized process allows multi inlet/outlet devices with customized orientation and short dimension between the nozzles. Lateral branches can also be proposed.

PTFE granular powder (as per ASTM D 4894) is molded at very high pressure and sintered inside the steel parts. Wall thickness is in the range of 5 to 12 mm, according to the pipe diameter and the service conditions. Both virgin and antistatic PTFE grades can be offered.
