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.

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.

Yes. We offer mechanical seal designs suitable for high-viscosity and high-solid-content applications. This ensures smooth operation and minimizes residue accumulation.

Sure. It can be customized based on parameters such as equipment drawings, shaft diameter size, temperature, and chemical compatibility.
