Sanitary Piping Installation Components - As a supplier of specialized components to those companies making the very first installations of all welded piping systems in the Dairy industry in the early '60s, ESC developed or stocked a group of components to meet common needs.  These included:
 

• Slightly crowned plugs to close the ends of Schedule 40 pipe.
• Standard lengths of Schedule 40 pipe, the preferred hanger fabrication material.
• Machined threaded plugs for the mounting end of pipe hangers, to receive "all-thread".
• Convenient lengths of stainless steel "all-thread" rod to bolt hangers to wall and ceiling structure.
• Convenient lengths of 1/2" and 3/4" round bar stock to weld hanger clamps to Schedule 40 Pipe supports.
• A family of bolted rubber-bushed hanger clamps for common sanitary tubing sizes.
• Several standard pump mounting plates for centrifugal pumps.

COP Tanks

The manufacturing skills developed during many years of experience in fabricating CIP Unit tanks and  HTST Constant Level Tanks have now been applied
to tanks for COP (Cleaned-Out-Of-Place) procedures. Basic COP tanks consist of only a tank, pump and solution distribution manifolds for side or end-to-end recirculation. Tanks may be supplied with or less hinged covers, and most are specified to be on wheels. 

Many variations of the "standard" tank have been supplied to user requirements.  The highly versatile COP Tank shown below featured: 
 

• Two compartments, for solution make-up for COP use, and for fresh water.
• Supplemental distribution valves and manifolds for washing short lengths of flexible tubing, inside and outside.
• An integral HPLV (High-Pressure Low Volume) pump, hose and nozzle, supplied from the solution tank and water tank via manual valves, for use in cleaning nearby equipment not susceptible to CIP or COP.

Junction Boxes and Installation Accessories

The provision of Air, Electrical Power and Instrumentation to the highly automated process installed in a sanitary "wet" area demanded development of a means of routing these services to the controlled components and sensors in an attractive sanitary manner which would protect the services from the generally "harsh" environment.

ESC has developed a family of AOB's (Air-Output Boxes) and Junction Boxes to meet this need.  These components are supplied as solid gasketed boxes, for field cutting of holes in the required location.  Sanitary tubing is the preferred "conduit" for normal use, and the tubing is welded to the box, which in turn is supported from an appropriately located Schedule 40 pipe support.
