TC

The term Pneumatic SWIEVL TC most likely refers to a Sanitary Pneumatic Valve with a Tri-Clamp (TC) End Connection and a Swivel feature. This type of component is a specialized valve designed for the demanding requirements of hygienic process industries. ??? Key Components & Function Pneumatic: Indicates the valve is actuated by compressed air, allowing for fast, automatic control from a remote signal (rather than manual operation). SWIEVL: This part of the code is often a manufacturer's abbreviation, but when combined with "TC" it suggests a Swivel connection or Swivel Lever operation, allowing for flexible positioning or manual adjustment. TC (Tri-Clamp / Tri-Clover): This is the most defining feature. It refers to a type of quick-connect, hygienic fitting used to join the valve to the rest of the piping. Purpose: Ensures a smooth, crevice-free connection that is easy to disassemble for cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) procedures. ?? Primary Use Its main function is the automatic and hygienic control of fluid flow (liquids, slurries, or gases) in sensitive environments. Industries: Essential in the Dairy, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnology sectors where strict sanitation standards are required to prevent contamination. Examples: Used as an on/off, diverting, or mixing valve in processing lines.
