Industry-Specific Applications
Suitable for milk, cream, yoghurt and fermentation tank systems. Mechanical seals ensure a sterile environment, preventing secondary contamination of dairy products.
Suitable for juice, carbonated beverage and beer production lines. The seal withstands erosion from sugars, gases and low-viscosity media.
Withstands CIP and aggressive cleaning chemicals to prevent microbial growth. Suitable for brining, minced meat and fat conveying systems.
Suitable for production lines handling high-viscosity, crystalline materials. The sealing material exhibits wear resistance, maintaining a stable seal while minimising sugar crystal accumulation.
Suitable for the mixing and conveying stages of vegetable oils, blended oils, and refined oils. Constructed from food-grade materials, it offers excellent temperature resistance and oxidation resistance.
Meets high cleanliness and sterility standards for extraction, mixing and dosing equipment. Sealed surfaces are easy to clean and compatible with SIP/CIP.

FAQ – Common Questions About Food & Beverage Mechanical Seals
Q1: Are food-grade mechanical seals necessarily made of FDA-approved materials?
It is necessary. Food-grade seals typically require FDA or EU 1935/2004 compliant materials. This ensures that the seals will not cause contamination when in contact with dairy products, beverages, or additives.
Q2: Does your seal system support CIP/SIP cleaning?
Support. All sanitary seals can be used for high-temperature steam sterilization (SIP) and in-line cleaning (CIP). The structural design avoids dead corners, reducing the risk of bacterial growth.
Q3: Can it be used for high-viscosity media, such as syrups or sauces?
Yes. We offer mechanical seal designs suitable for high-viscosity and high-solid-content applications. This ensures smooth operation and minimizes residue accumulation.
Q4: Is it possible to customize non-standard shaft diameters or handle special working conditions?
Sure. It can be customized based on parameters such as equipment drawings, shaft diameter size, temperature, and chemical compatibility.
