TerraPort™ (US Patent Number 7,134,695)

TerraPort™ is the answer to the fragile sanitary fittings currently used on non-metallic vessels.

Traditionally, non-metallic vessels that need to be sanitary are equipped with fittings that have a sanitary flange thermoformed or compression-molded at the end of a stub of thin-wall tube. These non-metallic sanitary fittings protrude outward from the tank wall several inches leaving the critical sealing surface vulnerable to impact. Once damaged, the failed fitting is likely to render the entire vessel it is attached to useless.

TerraPort™ is machined from solid FDA compliant bar stock (USP class VI compliant in the case of polypropylene). TerraPort™ is a low profile (1") welded port that protrudes outward from the tank wall, no further than the existing top lip of the tank. TerraPort™ houses the sealing area within the fitting protecting it from impact for worry-free transport and plumbing.

Recognized equally for product quality, customer service, and reliable lead-times, Terracon is an organization that takes the time to understand your specific application and offers the solution that works best for you.
