Expansion Compensator, Series VARICOMP® for hygienic and aseptic applications
In bigger, rigid-piped valve matrices, heat expansion from different temperatures may cause - if not compensated - deformations on valve housings and thus impair the valve`s function. The outcome of this is unstable process sequences with unforeseeable risks.
Expansion Compensator
The innovative VARICOMP® Expansion Compensator compensates thermal stress. Due to its exceptional construction principle, the VARICOMP® Expansion Compensator is most suitable for aseptic process applications. The decisive advantage of the new VARICOMP® Expansion Compensator is the procket-free design with drain characteristics, an indispensable feature for optimal cleaning in the CIP/SIP method.
