Gaskets used on food production lines face a different set of challenges than their counterparts in other industries: withstanding frequent and aggressive cleaning procedures, meeting hygiene standards, ensuring food-contact safety, and maintaining dimensional stability even under prolonged use.
For this reason, material selection for gaskets and sealing elements in the food industry must prevent any transfer of odor, taste or chemical substances at food-contact surfaces. Resistance to processes such as high-temperature steam sterilization (CIP/SIP cleaning procedures) is also among the required properties.
Verdi Plastik takes these requirements into account when producing gaskets for the process industry, offering sealing solutions suited to the food sector's cleaning, hygiene, compliance and durability needs.
