Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is excited to announce its participation in CibusTec 2023 where it will showcase a range of product highlights tailored for safe food processing.

In response to the dynamic nature of the food and beverage industry and the varying regional requirements, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies will exhibit high-quality seals designed for diverse applications. These seals are made from carefully selected materials, offer custom designs, and promote collaboration to meet industry demands.

“The food and beverage industry has strict requirements. Close collaboration between industrial companies and seal manufacturers is crucial to understanding market trends and meeting these demands,” says Rainer Kreiselmaier, Technical Director for the global market segment process industry at Freudenberg Sealing Technologies.

The manufacture of dairy products requires seals that are resistant to fats and non-polar media, as well as high sterilization temperatures. They must also adhere to aseptic and germ-free filling techniques.

In beverage bottling, seals must be able to withstand contact with polar media without transferring aromas. Cleaning and sterilization are often done in a closed state to optimize efficiency, which means the seals must show exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and disinfection media like peroxides or chlorine. Furthermore, they must meet country-specific material approvals and conformities.

To address these challenges and more, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies will present a diverse range of product highlights for the food & beverage industry at CibusTec 2023. The event will take place in Parma, Italy from October 24 to 27, 2023 (Hall 5, Booth 047).

One standout feature will be the focus on meeting high hygienic design requirements in sealing technology for the food industry.

Through special design solutions and the use of premium elastomer and PTFE materials developed in-house, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies offers two hygienic sealing solutions in its portfolio that not only meet food industry standards but also exhibit resistance to CIP/SIP media (cleaning in place/sterilization in place).

One crucial aspect of hygienically designed sealing solutions is the absence of dead spaces, preventing the accumulation of product residues and micro-organisms. Additionally, the selection of materials is essential for resistance to hot water, steam, acids, alkalis, and high pressures.

The Hygienic Pressure Seal by Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, designed specifically for high pressures, serves as an excellent rod seal for valves or pumps. It fulfills traditional rod seal functions while meeting the highest hygiene standards.

The Hygienic Forseal, a variation of the classic and proven forseal, has been optimized for the food industry’s requirements. With Quantum PTFE as the primary material and an elastomer ring for optimal contact pressure, this development ensures a flat, dead space-free surface for the medium.
