“Up to 70% of the world’s fresh water usage is for agriculture purposes, meaning everything we eat impacts the water supply. This large water need has become a critical issue for the food and beverage industry.

In the U.S., for example, there are serious water shortages in places like California, Arizona, Texas and Georgia. Lack of water impacts the ability to grow economically and sustain population growth. Since we can’t make or produce new water, it is necessary to conserve and manage water. As a major component of agriculture and manufacturing, companies consider good water management strategic to their business and a key competitive advantage with positive bottom line impacts, as well as being good for the environment.”

Our food, Pharmaceutical and Dairy material grades have been specially developed to provide high performance food grade seals with excellent mechanical capabilities and chemical resistance. Elastomer materials are available in several grades compliant with the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, all certifications which comply with FDA & USDA regulations for material in contact with food per 21 CFR 177.1550.

For example, in many filling applications not only the media being processed is to be taken into consideration, but the method of cleaning the equipment is important. You may choose the right material for the fluid being filled but the cleaning solution may be too aggressive for that material, or the food grade part is being autoclaved.
