A dairy union, in the context of piping systems, refers to a specialized type of fitting used in the food and beverage industry, particularly in dairy processing plants. These unions are designed to meet the stringent sanitary standards required for handling milk, dairy products, and other food-grade materials.
Dairy unions typically feature stainless steel construction, which is durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, crucial for maintaining sanitary conditions. They often incorporate tri-clamp or tri-clover fittings, which consist of a gasket, a clamp, and two ferrules that are tightened together to form a secure and hygienic connection.
These unions are specifically designed to facilitate easy disassembly and cleaning, which is essential for maintaining hygiene in dairy processing facilities. They are used to connect various components of the processing equipment, such as pipes, valves, pumps, and fittings, ensuring a sanitary and leak-free flow of dairy products through the system.
