SAUNDERS® Serial Weir

Saunders® Serial Weir design typically incorporates a common chamber shared by two weirs or operating points. The Tandem valve (Sterile Access Valve) is the most common design variation and is available in machined block or fabrication welded orientation to suit customer specification.

Features And Benefits

  • Machined Block construction, free from internal fabrication welds to enhance structural integrity
  • Zero or minimum deadleg – depending on selected orientation
  • Reduced internal wetted area to optimise CIP/SIP cycle time
  • Highly compact size envelope provides ideal solution
