New Elastomer Material Family Compliant with all Major Global Food Regulations

Alongside full global compliance, these materials are suitable for use with virtually all food and beverage products and are resistant to harsh cleaning and sterilization processes. The FoodPro® EPDM family consists of three materials:Get more news about Elastomer Separators,you can vist our website!

Mikkel Moerup, Global Segment Director Food & Beverage at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, says: “What makes FoodPro® E75F2 so unique is its versatility. To best support our customers, it was important for us to develop a material for use in all types of food and beverage processing equipment.

“Processing equipment manufacturers can look to FoodPro® E75F2 to meet their customers’ needs, because of its suitability for the widest range of applications. They no longer need to specify sealing materials for each piece of equipment dependent on geographical use, process media and cleaning regimes. This saves significant time, reduces complexity and simplifies manufacturing processes.”

FoodPro® EPDMs comply with all major global food contact regulations, including US FDA CFR 21; Reg. (EC) 1935/2004; Chinese GB 4806.1-2016, GB 4806.11-2016, GB 9685-2016; and 3-A Sanitary Standards. In addition, FoodPro® EPDM materials and products are compounded and manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Standard O-Rings to Complex Multi-Component Designs

Mikkel continues, “In addition to standard O-Rings and gaskets, the compounds can be shaped into any design imaginable to fit our customers’ needs. By combining FoodPro® EPDMs with other rubber, plastic and metal materials, creation of multicomponent products is possible. Uniting several parts into a single component, eliminates potential dead space where bacteria can grow, strengthening hygienic designs and substantially enhancing cleanliness, as well as offering more robust solutions.”

FoodPro® EPDMs are suitable for a wide range of static, semi-dynamic and dynamic food applications, such as separators, decanters, valves, pipe couplings and heat exchangers, in any type of seal design, from standard O-Rings and gaskets to multicomponent parts. The materials are compression and injection moldable into complex geometries and withstands surface imperfections in applications.
