In modern pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, maintaining hygienic and contamination-free sampling is not optional — it is essential to process validation and product integrity.
FAMAT’s sampling valves are designed to meet the most stringent hygienic and aseptic requirements, integrating multiple cleaning and sterilization options that ensure full compliance with GMP and FDA guidelines.
1. Clean-in-Place (CIP)
After each sampling operation, the valve and its accessories can be fully cleaned without disassembly.
A dedicated CIP inlet allows the injection of water or solvent through the system, circulating across all internal surfaces in contact with the product and recovering the cleaning medium in a closed-loop circuit.
This ensures a complete and validated wash cycle, minimizing downtime while preventing operator exposure or product cross-contamination.
2. Sterilization-in-Place (SIP)
For aseptic or sterile processes, steam sterilization can be applied to the sampling valve and its associated components.
SIP guarantees that all parts — including those indirectly in contact with the sampled medium — are thermally sanitized, eliminating microbial contamination and ensuring a fully aseptic process line.
3. Easy Dismantling for Deep Cleaning
When switching between different product batches or formulations, the valve’s removable piston can be detached effortlessly via a Tri-Clamp connection.
This allows deep manual cleaning and visual inspection of internal parts, ensuring compliance with the most demanding hygiene and validation protocols.
By combining CIP, SIP, and easy dismantling capabilities, FAMAT’s sampling valves deliver:
-
Consistent and reproducible cleaning results
-
Maximum operator safety and containment
-
Reduced maintenance time and process downtime
-
Full traceability for validation and QA documentation
With FAMAT, every detail is designed to protect your process, your product, and your people.
