EAGLE™ 3A Manual Diaphragm Valves Clamp

Pharmaceutical & Biotech Processing

Aseptic filling lines, bioreactor sampling, and buffer preparation systems: Our 1/2 to 4" size clamp-style manual diaphragm valve in the asq series provides sterile isolation in these applications with excellent access for maintenance. The tri-clamp fittings also allow for quick changeover in a multi-product plant.

"Our plant is designed with Eagle clamp diaphragm valves throughout our production in the aseptic environment. The quick disconnect design enables cleaning validation to be completed more efficiently between product runs." - Manager of Quality Biopharmaceuticals

Food & Beverage Manufacturing

These sanitary diaphragm valves are tested and proven in dew production, brewing and beverage applications that must meet 3-A. The clamp fittings make disassembling things for CIP (clean-in-place) validation, a lot easier.

"We standardized on Eagle clamp valves for our dairy processing expansion. With the 3A certification, and the access for maintenance was so good that it leaped the validation time by 30%." - Food Plant Engineer

CIP/SIP Systeme und Utilities

In cleaning and sterilizing systems, the clamp configuration permits fast changing of parts and maintenance work. The stainless steel construction of the diaphragm valve is designed for multiple sterilization cycles (Max 135ºC with max 60 minutes/sterilization cycle) and continuous operation.

“We never had the possibility of changing diaphragms quickly without pulling the entire valve body out of the line until now, and this has made a huge difference in our maintenance downtime.” – Facility Maintenance Supervisor

Zero Dead Leg Configuration

Straight-through flow path minimizes product hold-up and supports effective cleaning validation for pharmaceutical applications.

Diaphragm Isolation Technology

Process media never contacts valve internals, eliminating contamination risks from stem seals or packing glands.

Quick-Change Diaphragm Design

Diaphragm replacement can be performed in minutes without special tools or removing the valve from the pipeline.

Sanitary Surface Finish

All wetted surfaces are electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.8μm, exceeding sanitary requirements for high-purity applications.

Material Traceability

Full material certificates with heat number traceability for all 316L stainless steel components, supporting pharmaceutical validation requirements.

Pressure Testing

Each valve undergoes hydrostatic testing at 15 Bar (1.5x working pressure) with zero leakage requirements.

Surface Finish Documentation

Surface roughness certification provided for all product contact surfaces, ensuring compliance with sanitary standards.

Cleanability Validation

Design validated for effective cleaning with documented CIP/SIP compatibility for aseptic processing applications.
