Manways designed for medium-pressure usage

Stainless steel manways have been designed for atmospheric and medium atmospheric and medium-pressure liquid, powder and grain applications.

Axium Process, a new supplier of hygienic stainless steel components to the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and toiletries industries, has a range of stainless steel manways for atmospheric and medium-pressure liquid, powder and grain applications.

The manways, manufactured from 316 stainless steel, are available in rectangular, oval and circular form, with apertures ranging in size from 100mm to 1200mm.

Hinged, multi-clamp and swivel-lever-arm designs are available, with domed lids and a glueless seal to minimise any potential bacterial contamination.

Material options available include 304 stainless steel and a variety of alloys, including Hastelloy and SMO254.

Full material certification to BS EN 10204 3.1.B is available for the glueless seal, domed lid options.

All manways are supplied with mirror polished lids and skirts finished to customer specification.

EPDM seals are standard on all manways, allowing operating temperatures between -25degC and 150degC.

A range of alternative seal material is available, which includes silicone, Viton and nitrile rubber.

Providing access to tanks, storage vessels and ducting systems, Axium Process' hygienic manways are complemented by a range of ancillary items featuring level gauges, sight glasses and sprayballs.

The company also offers a comprehensive range of hygienic stainless steel components and pipe fittings which can be fabricated to customer specification by Axium Process' coded welders (ASME IX).
