Expansion of the portfolio of sealing materials for global use
When it comes to processes in the food and beverage industry, there are no uniform legal requirements on a global level regarding which ingredients may be present in materials that come in contact with the products. As a result, manufacturers of products for the global market face major challenges, since seals, for example, cannot be used universally. This situation creates an advantage for materials that meet all globally applicable conformity requirements to the highest degree possible. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies offers an extensive and continuously updated portfolio of elastomers and engineering plastics to meet these requirements. The latest additions include the two reliable PTFE materials Y002 and Y005, which are now also approved for global use in the food and beverage industry. They are remarkable for their very high purity, wide temperature range for applications and high resistance to almost all media.
Live presentation at Anuga FoodTec Those who are interested can get a good overview of the new compounds and proven range of materials for the process industry at Anuga FoodTec in Cologne (Germany). From April 26 to 29, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies will present materials for various sealing requirements in food and beverage production. These include materials such as 70 HNBR 254067, which is particularly well-suited for applications with high mechanical stresses and is certified according to EG (Reg.) 1935/2004 and the FDA, blue food-grade PTFE G224 with high media and temperature resistance, and the versatile polyurethane 94 AU 21730. The exhibition will also spotlight the white material 70 EPDM 38596, which is an especially good choice for contact with aqueous products and dairy products with a low fat content, and the white 75 Simriz® 38581, which features the highest media and temperature resistance.
Lifetime prediction for seals The highlights of the product presentation include the extensive range of radial shaft seals for the process industry and sealing solutions from the product line for hygienic plants such as the hygienic pressure seal. Specifically designed for higher pressures, these seals are used, for example, as rod seals in pumps or valves. The Anuga FoodTec is the first occasion ever to see the entire product portfolio at a trade show.
In addition, Dr. Christoph Naumann, Simulation Engineer at Freudenberg Technology Innovation, will answer questions about the durability of seals and how seal replacements can be integrated into regular maintenance cycles.

Greene Tweed announces that its Fusion 665 ultra-low-temperature and chemically-resistant fluorocarbon (FKM) elastomer meets and exceeds the new AMS7410 Aerospace Material Specification (AMS) requirements.
The new GEMÜ P600S multi-port valve block solution allows for flexible combination of standardized single components. The new modular system therefore offers advantages regarding procurement and inventory-keeping, whilst simultaneously ensuring achievement of highly individual actuator travel and flow paths.
When space is tight in dewatering applications, the hour of compact multipurpose pumps has come. The manufacturer Tsurumi relies on technical symmetry here.
Pump service must be fast and painless. Therefore, the benefits of buying service kits are obvious and Hamworthy Pumps is experiencing an increasing demand for its various overhaul- and seal kits.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions expands its online store to include Seals-Shop Marine, which makes seals and bearings for the marine industry available to order direct at the click of a mouse or swipe of the finger.
Vesconite’s Hitemp 160, a no-grease-needed bearing material able to operate up to 160°C (320ºF), and even up to 220ºC (430ºF) depending on the application, offers a major advantage to many pump manufacturers.
