Introduction to Transfer Panels
Process, CIP/SIP and Utility Manual Routing Panels used in Sanitary Applications
The Superior Quality cGMP Transfer Panel, providing the optimum solution to Secure Process Routing
Suncombe is one of the world’s first manufacturers of panels, with transfer panels supplied since the 1960’s and Utility panels supplied since the 1970’s. Transfer Panels, also referred to as ‘U Bend Panels’, ‘3D U Bend Panels’, ‘Flowplate’s, ‘Splitter Plates’ and ‘Routing Panels’, are defined by ASME BPE as ‘a panel to which process and/or utilities are piped that mechanically precludes erroneous cross connections’.
Transfer panels use a single or a number of ‘Jumpers’ or ‘U Bends’, to manually inter-connect two or more flow paths, whilst inherently providing an ‘air break’ and physical separation to all other paths to ensure no possibility of cross contamination.
Panels are available in standard configurations with different number of ‘ports’ or ‘connections’ with a single Jumper. Custom designed panels are also available to suit your specific applications and can be developed on a flat plate (2D) or 3D matrix, and can incorporate any number and configuration of ports and any number of jumpers.
