Are ACL Hygienics products certified for pharmaceutical use?

Yes. ACL products are backed by extensive in-house testing and are manufactured to comply with ASME BPE, FDA, USP Class VI, 3-A Sanitary, and EU regulations where applicable. Material traceability and documentation are available for validation and audits.

What makes ACL Hygienics different from other hygienic component manufacturers?

With over 38 years of experience in European manufacturing, ACL Hygienics is known for its precision, consistency, and innovation. We offer independently certified products, rapid lead times, and a deep understanding of customer needs in regulated industries. As part of the Ideal Tridon Group, our products are now stocked and supported in the U.S. through Campbell Fittings.

Where are ACL Hygienics products manufactured and stocked?

ACL Hygienics products are manufactured at our European production facility, which maintains strict quality control and regulatory oversight. U.S.-based customers can access stocked inventory directly through Campbell Fittings in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, reducing lead times and improving availability across North America.

What makes ACL’s safety clamp so unique?

Unlike standard clamps, ACL’s patented safety clamp features “gated” segment halves along with a “stepped” eyebolt that has a slightly larger unthreaded diameter. This design requires 10–12 turns of the nut to fully open the clamp. The safety clamp greatly reduces unintentional clamp opening due to incorrect torque, vibration, thermal cycling or user error.

Do you offer custom or application-specific solutions?

Yes. ACL Hygienics provides custom hygienic solutions tailored to customer specifications. Whether you need non-standard ferrule lengths, special porting, or unique clamp configurations, our engineering and production teams can support specialty designs for OEMs, integrators, and process system designers.

Where can I find product documentation, certifications, and literature?

Product specifications, certification documents, test certificates, and brochures are available through the Resources section of the Campbell Fittings website. This includes pressure ratings, materials of construction, testing methods, and regulatory compliance information. For documentation requests, you can also contact our support team directly.

How do I know if ACL Hygienic components are right for my process?

ACL products are ideal for any process requiring ultra-clean, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-clean connections. We recommend selecting components based on media type, temperature, pressure, and regulatory requirements. Our technical team can guide you through product selection and provide validation support where needed.
