FT. WAYNE, IN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/07/08 -- Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, a worldwide leading supplier of high-quality sealing and bearing systems, announced today the launch of a complete line of sanitary gaskets, broadening its offering to the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and biotech industries. These gaskets are compatible with the temperature extremes, steam and aggressive chemicals associated with Steam-in-Place (SIP) and Clean-in-Place (CIP) regimes in process industries.
Sanitary gaskets from Trelleborg Sealing Solutions include:
-- Bonded Envelope Gasket- PTFE bonded to an EPDM rubber inner core
-- Validation Gasket- Allows the capture of real-time validation data:
thermal mapping, meter fluids, withdraw fluid samples and facilitate
validation using spore trap challenge test strips
-- Biological Gasket- Enables the use of a self-contained biological
indicator in a sanitary process line
-- Gauge Guard- Isolates hot or caustic media from instrumentation
-- ANSI Flange 150#- Ideal for applications where low seating stress is
required.
-- Smart Tracker- Miniature, battery-powered, stand-alone precision
temperature recorder
-- Torque Nuts- Control clamp and gasket compression, eliminating over-
or under-tightening
-- Others Including: standard gaskets, engraved gaskets, John Perry
gaskets, clamps, APC fittings, Schedule 5 gaskets, I-Line and Q-Line
gaskets, bevel seat gaskets, V˛B vent gaskets, sanitary diffuser gaskets,
perforated metal gaskets, orifice plate gaskets, sock screen and screen
gaskets and controlled compression gaskets
"Process methods used today continue to become more extreme due to the use of super-heated steam and aggressive cleaning chemicals," said Marty Hugney, Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Segment Manager for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Americas. "This requires the use of more advanced materials and geometries such as PTFE/Stainless Steel material sanitary gaskets and bonded envelope gaskets."
The range of sanitary gaskets comes in a variety of sizes, including mini, standard, larger and metric, and are available in many different materials. Materials include NBR, EPDM, FKM, PTFE, VMQ, FFKM, PTFE filled with Stainless Steel and sometimes special configurations such as bonded envelope gaskets.
The primary functions of sanitary gaskets are to seal pipe unions and joints in a sanitary fashion so that there is no dead space, but additional functions are also performed. These include process validation, filtration, fluid conditioning, flow control and instrumentation protection.
