Clamp seals provide secure, hygienic tube connections July 25, 2019 News Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has unveiled a series of newly developed clamp seals that ensure rapid and extremely secure tube connections in food and beverage production machines that are required to operate on a continuous basis. Using the new seals allows customers to eliminate the expense of converting connections to a ‘hygiene flange’ in accordance with DIN 11864, while undesirable over-compression into the interior of the tube connection is averted. In addition, the seals are especially easy to install and re-separate as, by the defined compression, any ‘sticking’ on the flange is contained. The new clamp seals are available from authorised distributor Dichtomatik Ltd, the exclusive provider for Freudenberg’s food and beverage related products in the UK. Development of the clamp seals has been prompted by the lack of pre-defined compression provided by conventional alternatives. This deficiency results in a portion of the clamp seal protruding into the internal tube connection space once a flange connection is sealed. Ultimately, when it comes to hygiene, the latest clamp seal from Freudenberg is a major advance as the risk of contaminating entire product batches is reduced thanks to its flush closure. As a result, the internal diameter of the seal precisely matches the dimension of the tube’s internal diameter, eliminating any mounting mistakes.
