Steam Separator
A compact 316L hygienic separator that removes entrained condensate from clean steam before sensitive process equipment and sterilization users.
- Removable hygienic baffle
- Direct low-point condensate drain
- Sanitary clamp or weld interfaces
Product Introduction
The Steam Separator is an inline moisture-removal vessel for clean and pure steam services where carried-over droplets can reduce heat-transfer consistency, disturb control components or reach a hygienic point of use. Steam enters through the horizontal inlet and changes direction across a removable internal baffle, allowing the heavier liquid phase to collect in the lower chamber while drier steam exits through the opposing outlet. The fabricated 316L body provides a dedicated top vent and a straight bottom drain connection, and the removable cover permits internal inspection and cleaning without treating the separator as a steam trap or filtration element.
Key Features
Low-pressure-drop baffle separation principle
Removable top cover for internal inspection
Direct vertical low-point condensate outlet
Separate top connection for air venting
Hygienic clamp or extended weld-end connections
Electropolished internal finish available
Compact inline geometry for horizontal steam mains
Customer Product Concerns
Moisture carried in a clean-steam line must be separated continuously without introducing hard-to-clean internals, stagnant drain geometry or avoidable pressure loss.
Entrained condensate lowers steam dryness at a critical userUse a line-sized baffle chamber that redirects the vapor path and collects the heavier droplets in a dedicated lower section.
Collected liquid can be re-entrained when the drain path is restrictedProvide a straight low-point drain sized for immediate connection to the selected hygienic steam-trap arrangement.
Fixed internals make hygienic inspection and de-rouging difficultRelease the sanitary cover clamp to remove the baffle and expose the product-contact chamber for inspection and cleaning.
Poorly matched connections add dead legs or installation adaptersSelect sanitary clamp or extended tube weld ends to match the clean-steam line size, vent route and condensate connection.
Typical Applications
Clean steam supply to autoclaves and sterilizersPure steam feeds for vessel SIP cyclesAseptic process equipment steam barriersClean steam upstream of control valves or instrumentsHygienic steam services in pharmaceutical and food plants
