In food production equipment, gaskets and seals must do more than just prevent leaks. The material must be suitable for contact with food and, at the same time, function in an environment where the equipment may be exposed to repeated cleaning, water, temperature fluctuations, and various media.
Food-grade gaskets and seals are used, for example, in pumps, valves, pipe fittings, containers, and production equipment in the food industry.
Silicone, PTFE and EPDMMaterials for Food-Grade Gaskets and Seals
At Cabseal, we work with silicone, PTFE, and EPDM for these applications. The appropriate material depends on what the seal comes into contact with and the requirements for the specific equipment. It is also important to verify that the specific material grade has the proper approval for its intended use.
