MachinedTandemValves
TheMachinedTandem is avariationof theSerialWeir family.
This group of valve designs is defined as having two weirs
withacommonchamber.Whenproduced inthe“handwheels
opposite” configuration the Machined Tandem offers the
ultimate in reduceddeadleg for a twovalvecluster.
Thismachined from solidTandemValve typeoffers several
advantagesover thewelded tandem:
· Increased security–no internal fabricationwelds
· Reduceddeadleg–dependingonorientation
· Greater structural integrity

Multi-PortDiverterValves -ZeroDeadlegOptions
The family of Multi-Port valves includes the Diverter Valve
range. These valves include 2-way diverters on through to
clusters thathaveup toeightoutlets.
Modern machining technology is employed in the design
andmanufacture of CRANE ChemPharma, Saunders range of
Bio-Block diverter valves. The result is a single valve without
internal fabricationwelds formaximumstrength,withreduced
holdupvolumesandwithout stagnant areas.

Thisprovides anumber of keyprocess advantages:
· Machinedblock construction, free from fabrication
welds toenhance structural integrity
· Minimal deadlegdesign to reduce riskof process
contamination
· Excellent drainage characteristics for quickandeffective
sterilization
· Reduced space requirement providesgreater flexibility
in systemdesignand simplified installation
· Fully-certified range,with comprehensivevalidation

Selecting the right multi-port includes orienting ports and
weirs to reduce deadlegs and also to conform to overall
systemdesign. Pipingcanbearrayed inhorizontal, vertical, or
combinedplanes.
