Dairy Industry Pipe Supports & Stainless Clamps

Engineered for milk, whey, cream and yoghurt process lines — 24/7 production reliability.

Dairy plants run 20+ hours a day with daily caustic CIP and weekly nitric cycles. A pipe support that survives two years in a chemical plant fails in eight months in a yoghurt factory. NIBRO 316L hygienic clamps are designed specifically for this duty.

Section 01

Dairy-specific challenges

• Lactic acid + 80°C CIP attacks 304 stainless at the clamping face — switch to 316L.

• Standard nitrile rubber turns brittle after 6 months of caustic exposure — use EPDM 70 Shore A.

• Vibration from positive-displacement milk pumps loosens single-bolt clamps — use 2-bolt sets with self-locking nuts.

• Mounting brackets in cold-rooms must accept thermal expansion without binding — pair clamps with sliding pipe shoes.
