The racking arm is adjustable, allowing the user to draw liquid from different levels within the tank, avoiding sediment at the bottom. Often using butterfly valve, ball valve, or sanitary tri-clamp valve to control during liquid transfer.
Connections:
Commonly available with tri-clamp fittings or threaded connections for easy integration into sanitary systems.
Seal Materials:
Equipped with food-grade seals like PTFE, EPDM, or silicone to ensure a tight seal and hygienic operation.
Applications:
Brewing: Transferring beer from fermenters or bright tanks. Winemaking: Racking wine to separate it from lees (sediment). Beverages: Moving clear liquids in tanks with minimal waste.
How It Works:
The Tri clamp Rotating Racking Arm is mounted at the side of the tank and can be rotated to adjust the angle.
By rotating the arm, the valve draws liquid from the desired level, ensuring clarity and reducing contamination with solids at the bottom.
