Since 1994, Dry Link’s patented dry-disconnect
couplings have been specified throughout the
chemical and pharmaceutical industries for the
safe transfer of toxic liquids.
With the continual development of new products,
we now introduce sanitary, High-Containment,
Split-Butterfly Valves (HCV) that can assure
safe and secure transfer of toxic
powders in the pharmaceutical
manufacturing processes of pills and capsules.
Toxic powders known as Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients, often mixed with “excipients,” have
long presented safety risks to plant operators
during powder transfer. The transfer process
requires stringent Occupational Exposure Level
limits. We have solved this problem, thanks to
the patented seal design of our HCV.
Our High-Containment Valve features a
split-butterfly valve design consisting of two
halves of a body. Two identical, thin-profile
disc halves rotate in unison to create an
excellent flow path. A single flow-control
handle opens both discs simultaneously. Our
sealing design ensures clean, secure and safe
product transfer. Built-in safety interlocks
prevent accidental separation. The Coupler
half and the Adapter half are
bidirectional meaning that either half of the
valve can be used as Active or
Passive. Our sanitary HCV offers the same
level of performance as competing valves while
being up to fifty percent lighter, thus making it
easier to operate. Plus our pricing is a
fraction of competing valves.
High-Containment Valves are available in SS316
and Hastelloy C materials. These valves are
available in sizes 1” (DN 25), 1½” (DN 40), 2”
(DN 50), 3” (DN 75) and 4” (DN 100) with wide
choices of body materials, seal materials and
end connections. Valve inside surfaces are
polished to 20 RA micro-inch (0.5 RA microns)
smooth finish to minimize adhesion of solids to
the valve, with optional mirror finish on the
outside. We also offer optional unpolished
internals at economy prices. Efficient cleaning
can be done using CIP/SIP methods.
