Current design and construction standards in the pharmaceutical industry place ever-higher demands on the sterility, cleanability, integrity and performance of piping components. Utilizing the latest in computer design and manufacturing tools, Saunders Bio-Block valves can be engineered and manufactured from solid stainless steel bar or billet, converting visions into solutions which can meet our customers specific process needs.

Our Bio-Block Technology brings several advantages to the Bio pharmaceutical customer, including: -
 

• A reduction in installation times and costs as one Bio-Block valve can replace a welded piping manifold comprised of several valves and fittings. This in term means less welds and reduced need for associated documentation (Material Certification) 
   
• Enhanced product integrity with the absence of internal fabrication welds 
  Hold up volumes can be reduced 
   
• Minimization of deadlegs. This is particularly relevant to smaller sized valves where its is more difficult to achieve cGMP requirements for minimum deadlegs.
