PPE was early to recognise the limitations of traditional sealing materials in the food and dairy industry due to an increased demand for FDA-compliant seals which could withstand steam-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) procedures.	.....
PPE's food and diary material grades have been specially developed to provide high performance seals with excellent mechanical capabilities and chemical resistance. Many of these materials are compliant with the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Food Contact Notification (FCN), United States Pharmacopeia - Class VI (USP Class VI) and 3-A Sanitary Standards, and are available as O-rings, custom made parts and inflatable seals. PPE has over 30 years experience in manufacturing elastomer seals to the European Hygienic Equipment Design Group (EHEDG) guidelines. These guidelines look beyond the seal material and consider the seal in its operating environment. PPE routinely uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation techniques to develop hygienic seals which do not pose a contamination risk through their potential to 'trap' particles or bacteria.
