Top Line Process Equipment Co.

United States

TOP-FLO diaphragm valves, because of their unique design, reliability, versatility, and ease of maintenance have been the ideal choice for high purity process piping applications. We combine world class industry experience with engineering and manufacturing facilities located in the USA and Canada. Our R&D, engineering, and manufacturing groups are committed to providing high quality valves that are unsurpassed by any of our competitors. Top Lines name adds essential value, including specification assistance. Top Line competes with the major suppliers in the industry in North and South America for weir type diaphragm valves and we have recently gained approval to mark CE on our valves in accordance to the PED on this product line.

Top Line sanitary clamps made of type 304 stainless steel are available in four styles; single pin (13LAH), doublee pin (13MHHM), three segmented (13MHHS) and high pressure (13MHP). The high pressure clamps are assembled with two bolts where as the single pin, double pin and three segmented clamps are hinged and use a single bolt with a wing nut. These items are used when securing two sanitary clamp components together with the use of a special sanitary gasket. Sanitary clamps are widely used in the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, bioprocessing, semiconductor, and cosmetics industries.

Top Line Ball Valves are engineered to be the finest in the industry. Each valve is built to exact specifications and is constructed to perform flawlessly in the most hostile environment. Top Lines Ball Valves are utilized by firms which demand the uncompromised ability to regulate flow from full flow open to various degrees of closure.

TOP-FLO sanitary ball check valves are used to prevent the backflow of fluid in sanitary systems and to minimize pressure drop across the valve. The vertical installation orientation of TOP-FLO ball check valves utilizes the fluid head pressure behind the ball when there is zero flow and the valve is in the closed position to ensure positive shut off across the elastomer seat.

The TOP-FLO name represents the finest in sanitary process equipment. TOP-FLO pumps have been designed to offer efficient transfer of product over a wide range of head and viscosity conditions. TOP-FLO pumps are easy to install, clean, and operate. The TF-C114 centrifugal pump is ideal for use in small and medium size process applications in the dairy, food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other sanitary process industries. TOP-FLO pumps are suitable for use in CIP (clean-in-place) installations. This feature enables easy self-cleaning with no dismantling or take-down. Sanitizing of all product contact areas is automatic.

Top Line TE Series electric actuators provide unsurpassed quality, reliability and value to your automated system. Some of the key standard features and benefits of the TE Series actuators are: Multiple voltages available : 24VAC, 24VDC, and 115VAC single phase to fit your process needsNema 4, 4X & IP67 lightweight polyester powder coated aluminum housingExternal manual override so you wont need to worry in a power failureFour limit switches two for operation two auxiliary dry contactsAnti-condensation space heater for reduced downtime and increased reliabilityVisual position indicator for your convenienceCaptive cover bolts for your convenienceOptional Features: Integral modulating card for full PLC controlPosition Indication (Potentiometer) for continuous position monitoring

Top Line sanitary gaskets are used widely in the food, dairy, beverage, biotech, pharmaceutical, and all other sanitary process industries to seal clamp connections in sanitary process lines. Sanitary gaskets are available in a wide range of sanitary connections including, sanitary-clamp, TI-Line, bevel seat, Q-line and John Perry among others. Sanitary gaskets are available in a wide range of materials including buna-N, EPDM, PTFE, silicone, platinum cured silicone, FKM.

The newly developed Series MKP-Bio offers you an excellent solution for aseptic applications in the pharmaceutical, biotech, food industry and other sanitary processes. The pump has been developed and designed according to the EHEDG recommendations and takes in to account VDMA 24432 and EN 12462 standards.

Lets have a quick look. FDA FKM has a temperature range of -10F to +450F, and provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals. It is excellent for steam and widely used in the Pharma and Bio industries. FKM also provides good resistance to micro-organisms, certain solvents and ozone. EPDM (Ethylene, propylene) materials offer a temperature range of -20F to +300F and offer excellent resistance to high temperatures ozone, weathering and saturated steam, making it ideal for use with foods and pharmaceutical processes. Unsuitable for petroleum based oils, mineral oil. Food Quality Silicone materials provide excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions, ozone, oxygen, UV light and moisture. It offers temperature resistance from -80F to +370F. It also offers resistance to bases and acids at average temperature and concentration. Weak mechanical properties limit its tensile, tear and abrasion resistance. Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) is actually a white polymer that is the most chemically resistant compound available and offers a wider range of temperatures than elastomers. PTFE can withstand temperatures from -60F to +400F. It is resistant to most chemicals and solvents and its tensile strength makes it an excellent choice for applications that require a high occurrence of friction. Its very low compression set and its dimensional behavior limit its applications.
