Orbital welds are surely the best solution from a hygiene perspective.
Attention must be paid to problems in cleaning the downpipe and especially longer downpipes require special solutions.
The weldon adapter shown in the illustration, in conjunction with a clean weld, is a good solution to this problem. The gap between the thread and the cleaning device is arranged horizontally.
Outflowing cleaning medium cannot accumulate as droplets at this position but rather flow cleanly away over this edge. Various different versions for the combinations of pipe diameter and
cleaning device are available. A selection can be made between the materials 1.4404 (316L), 1.4571 (316Ti), 1.4435 (316) and various Hastelloy variants if necessary.
This makes it easy to reduce contamination at the connection points of the cleaning device. The cleaning process can also be easily optimized when changing the downpipe geometries (installation
dimensions).
