Hygienic fittings DIN EN 10357-A

Hygienic Fittings ISO EN 10357-D

This product series includes a wide range of sanitary fittings from EN 10374-D, SMS, and IDF standards. SMS (Swedish Standard) and IDF (International Dairy Federation) are designed to meet specific hygiene and functionality requirements in the food and dairy industries, where cleanliness and efficiency are crucial.

What are SMS and IDF?

SMS (Swedish Standard):

SMS fittings are a standard primarily used in the dairy and food industries. This standard describes the dimensions and requirements for fittings that must withstand the strict hygiene demands of food processing and dairy production. SMS fittings are known for their durability and ease of cleaning, making them ideal for use in systems handling sensitive products such as milk, juice, and other beverages.

IDF (International Dairy Federation):

IDF is a global organization that has established standards for equipment and fittings used in dairy production and processing. IDF fittings are designed to ensure that high hygiene standards are maintained in dairy production, which is necessary to avoid contamination and ensure that the products meet international quality requirements.

All sanitary fittings in this series are designed with internal surface treatments that have an average roughness (Ra) of ≤ 0.8 – 1.6 μm, ensuring a smooth and easy-to-clean surface. This is essential for maintaining the highest hygiene standards in the food, dairy, and beverage industries.

Why are SMS and IDF Important?

Hygiene and Quality:

Both SMS and IDF fittings are designed to ensure the highest hygiene standards are maintained in the food and dairy industries. This is crucial to prevent contamination and ensure that products remain safe for consumption.

Compatibility:

Fittings that meet SMS and IDF standards ensure they can be easily and efficiently integrated into existing systems in food and dairy production, reducing the need for expensive and time-consuming modifications.

Durability and Ease of Cleaning:

Fittings made according to these standards are known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, making them ideal for applications where both efficiency and hygiene are required.

Compatibility with EN 10357-D Pipes

All fittings in this series have ID/OD dimensions that comply with EN 10357-D pipe standards, making them ideal for integration into existing systems that already use this pipe standard. This compatibility ensures precision and efficiency in the system.

Hygienic Requirements and Flexibility

With a surface treatment that allows for the maintenance of high hygiene levels and ease of cleaning, these fittings are ideal for applications where hygiene is critical, such as in food and beverage production, dairies, and other sanitary systems.
