Food industry hygienic design
Hygienic design
Rotary shaft seals are critical in the food industry to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust and other contaminants into machinery and equipment.
Special possibilities with VR seals
VR seals are ideal for sealing caveless, “smooth” shafts in food processing machinery. Because no bonding agents are used, they are safer to use than many competitive products. The BOA, DOA, SOA, SAB, and SAC styles are ideal for food processing applications due to their smooth surface.
- No cavities
- No use of bonding agents
- Various elastomers with different approvals are available.
Special characteristics of VR seals
- Pressure resistant because of support body
- Increases service life
- Energy efficient
- Friction optimized due to minimized radial pressure
- Can reduce the heat impact on the processed food.
VR seals are used in these machine types
- Bakery machines
- Machines for grain processing
- Poultry equipment
- Machines for meat processing
- Dairy equipment
- Coffee machines
- Mixing machines
