Description: 2" Cam-ClampTMSanitary ClosuresSanitary clamps (or Tri-Clamps, as they are well known) are ubiquitous in industries where liquid needs to flow through hygienic pipe and hose. Instalev Cam Lever Clamps are standard sanitary clamp designs with a patented cam-lock lever replacing the screw-and-wingnut design of traditional tri-clamps. The novel time-saving design of our Cam-Clamp products results in fast, easy, and repeatably accurate closures with minimal effort and notably diminished possibility for repetitive motion injury. We branded our Original Cam-Clamp, Instalev, the name of our company. Borne out of frustration with undoing and attaching traditional Tri-Clamps, these feature a marked improvement in ease, speed and safety over their older second cousins, at a competitive price. What Makes Cam-Clamps Better?Sanitary closures perform a simple, but critical function, providing a method for cleaning, inspection and maintenance of sanitary fittings. Traditional tri-clamps unnecessarily complicate what should be a perfunctory activity: they take excess time, compromise process integrity, increase the likelihood of accidental spills and/or contamination, and are prone to producing worker discomfort and injury. Instalev Cam-Clamps were designed to alleviate all of these shortcomings, and make this repetitive critical function what it should be - quick, safe, and easy. cam-clamps save time...A traditional clamp has to be firmly held in the “closed” position with one hand while the tightening nut is maneuvered into position with the other hand and then rotated through several turns to secure the clamp. This process can be time consuming, inefficient, non-ergonomic, and error prone. There is no hand-turning involved in removal or replacement of a Cam-Clamp; just a simple pull or push of the patented lever handle. Add to that, they can be applied single-handed. You simply can’t do that with a wing-nut! Watch this quick video to see the difference. cam-clamps are safer...Leaks and spills can be both costly and dangerous, potentially subjecting workers to toxic liquids under high temperature and pressure. Ergonomically designed, there is nothing protruding from the Cam-Clamp to invite accidental opening by a passing object, cuff or shoe; While, in many processes, “hand tightening” is all that is recommended for a secure connection; relative strength can markedly effect the torque applied to a wing-nut and resultant gasket pressure; set once, Cam-Clamps provide repeatable closure - avoiding potentially costly leakage, contamination or bacterial growth resulting from over or under-tightening. cam-clamps avoid injury and damage...Many users are often trained (or not) to [use] a supplementary tool to make sure the clamp is “tight”. Screwdrivers in back pockets are at best a bad look, and otherwise generally hazardous. Most importantly, continual hand-turning of wing-nuts can lead to repetitive motion injury - or worker discomfort at least, exacerbating the lack of tightening torque accuracy. Cam-Clamps have exceptional ROI...A single drip or intrusion can be extremely costly, let alone a major spill. The repeatability and ergonomic design of Cam-Clamps provide insurance against contamination and bacterial growth, and the myriad costs of worker injury and discomfort. Galling is another, not uncommon, destructive phenomenon that occurs in threaded mates through repetitive, heat producing tightening of conventional clamps, particularly when tools are used for 'extra tightening'. Galling is the process where similar metals lose their protective oxide coatings, and actually fuse together. The operation of our Cam-Clamps all but insures against galling, and it's time-consuming destructive replacement regime. On top of these potentially important economic benefits is efficiency. In typical industrial and commercial settings, there can be very large numbers of tubing sections, hoses, pumps and accessories needing to be connected, disconnected and re-arranged on a frequent basis, and Cam-Clamps consume considerably less time than their predecessors in these activities. In fact, in active processes where clamps are changed out even once a day, Cam-Clamps will pay for themselves in months - in labor savings alone. What Prompted This Brilliant Idea?The Instalev Cam-Clamp was born when our company's founder needed a solution to cure a persistent fuel leak issue on a Mars orbiter. Really? No. Michael (the guy in the video) is a talented woodworker and brewer, and consummate problem solver. Mike was helping some friends set up a new craft brewery, and quickly found the curious practice of repetitive wing-nut cranking, well, silly. He also developed an aching wrist. Figuring there had to be an easier and less painful way of changing and securing literally dozens of clamps, he went to work on the challenge. The result is our original Cam-Clamp; while since introduced in a variety of models, it retains its superior benefits - ease, comfort, and safety - over traditional tri-clamp design.Who Is Instalev?We are a user obsessed, creative team of craftspeople, engineers and inventors who always have to be building something. Sometimes it's furniture, sometimes a circuit board, sometimes a shed, patio or garden, often beer or wine - but always something useful. Life is too short to waste time on things that aren't useful. It's hard to make something worthwhile, but always more satisfying. Our inspirations come from real problems and our reward in solving them.Cam-Clamps are our latest reward. And yours. Because we found turning wing-nuts time consuming and, frankly, a pain in the ...wrist, accidental spills expensive, and cleaning them up inconvenient at best.
