InstallatIon, operatIon and maIntenance InstructIons
Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood
2 SAFETY
Please read these instructions carefully.
2.1 General danger potential
• Not paying attention to this instruction
• Incautious use or misuse
• Unqualified personnel or staff
2.2 Use as directed
2.2.1 Area of use
SAPRO-aseptic sampling valves are armatures,
used for taking exact aseptic samples from
mediums in tubes. In combination with the
special aseptic bottle adapter, it is possible to
take samples from any high-corrosive or hot
medium without any contact of the medium
with (maybe polluted) air. It is even possible

Valves for aseptic sampling of liquid mediums
in tubes.
1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
INSTRUCTION
These instructions include all directs to
safely install and operate the SAPRO-aseptic
sampling valve. If any problems arise, which
cannot be solved with these instructions, please
call for more information at the manufacturer.
These instructions are corresponding to the
valid EN-safety standards.
Using this armature requires the operator,
design engineer or the fitter of the plant to
observe all valid national technical standards.
Any technical change or improvement can
only be lead trough the manufacturer. Using
these instructions (and therefore also using the
sampling valve) requires qualified personnel,
installation and operating staff needs to be
trained according to these instructions.
1.1 Validity of these installation, maintenance
and repair instructions
These installation, maintenance and repair
instructions are valid for all SAPRO-aseptic
sampling valves, built at Neotecha AG after
March, 07. 2002. The period of validity ends with
the release of a new revision of the instructions.
to fill the sampling bottle with nitrogen before
taking a sample, and also clean the inner parts
of the bayonet sleeve and bottle adapter with
cleaning liquid or to sterilize them with steam.
When not taking samples, the SAPRO-aseptic
sampling valve can be closed with a dummy
adapter, preventing the bayonet sleeve from
pollution. The SAPRO-aseptic sampling valve
can only be installed in horizontal tubes, there
is no possibility to install the valve in a vertical
tube. All parts of the sampling valve in contact
with medium are in stainless steel 1.4435
(316L), Hastelloy (different types), PTFE, PEEK
or Perfluore.
2.2.2 Detailed function of the aseptic sampling valve
The valve stem seals against the bottle adapter
in the valve seat. By lifting up the stem with
the dead man lever, the sampling medium
flows through the bottle adapter into the bottle.
The air (or nitrogen) in the bottle is blown out
through a small drilling on the side of the
bottle adapter, closed with a cross-cut silicone
septum to prevent pollution reaching into the
bottle. All parts in contact with the medium
can be cleaned with cleaning liquid or steam
before taking a sample, the bottle can be
attached to the bottle adapter in the laboratory,
the bottle may even be filled with nitrogen
and the adapter keeps entirely closed until
it’s connected to the bayonet of the sampling
valve. When not taking a sample, the bayonet
sleeve of the valve can be closed with a dummy
adapter as a protection against pollution.

2.2.3 Technical data
Pressure range: 20Pa vacuum to 16bar
Temperature range: See diagram
Sizes
DIN PN 16: DN40 - 100
ANSI cl. 150: NPS 1½ - 4
Testing pressure: 1.5 x PN = 24bar
2.2.4 Restricted use
The valve can only be used with products
when the materials used (SS, PTFE, PEEK or
Perfluore) are compatible. Information about
the chemical resistance of these materials is
found in technical literature or may be asked at
the manufacturer.
2.2.5 Illegal technical changes
It is illegal to do mechanical changes of the
design of the SAPRO-aseptic sampling valve, or
to use parts of other manufacturers for repairs,
otherwise Neotecha can not guarantee for the
safety of the valve. Repairs can only be done
by Neotecha or personnel specially trained by
Neotecha.
2.2.6 Warning of misuse
The Sapro aseptic sampling valve with all
connection pipes and actuators can never be
used to climb up or to stand on it.
2.2.7 Liability to obtain all directs about operation,
maintenance and repair
These instructions are a part of the product
delivery and has to be available for all operators
of the valve, stored well protected from
pollution.
2.3 Danger sources
2.3.1 Chemical external
The sleeve on the actuator should not be
cleaned with solvents, use alcohol or a mild
detergent.
2.4 Requests for the operators
Operators are people who are familiar with the
installation, operation, maintenance and repair
of the SAPRO-aseptic sampling valve. They also
have to be qualified enough to safely handle the
valve and they have to:
• Keep all technical, internal and national
regulations and instructions.
• Be trained according national safety
standards, for example the use of their
personal safety clothes or heat gloves,
which have to be appropriate to production
conditions.
• Have read and understood these instructions.
3. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
The SAPRO-aseptic sampling valve is delivered
with protection caps. Please leave these caps
on the valve until it is ready to be installed. The
aseptic sampling valve has to be stored in a dry,
dust-free place until it’s installed.
3.1. Transportation
• Transportation temperature range -20°C to
65°C.
• Protect against mechanical stress (shock,
punch, vibration).
3.2. Storage
• Storage temperature range -20°C to 65°C,
dry and dust-free.
• Please use driers or heating against
condensation water in humid storerooms.
3.3. Handling before installation
• Remove the protection caps just before
installation.
• Protect the sampling valve against wetness
(otherwise dry before installation).
• Handling as directed protects from damage.

2.3.2 Electrically
To prevent static charges, the entire aseptic
sampling valve is made of conductive metal.
2.3.3 Thermically
With a sample medium temperature range
between -20°C to 200°C, the surface of
the sampling valve may assume the same
temperature. It is therefore necessary to wear
gloves to avoid injuries when operating the
valve.
2.3.4 Protection against opening the valve by
mistake (see fig. 1)
To prevent opening the valve by mistake, the
locking pin (3) can be used. A padlock (10, not
included in delivery) can additionally be used
against deliberate opening.
