HyClamp Sanitary Gaskets
HyClamp™ hygienic gasket seals (also known as Tri-clamp® and Tri-clover® seals) are designed to meet the needs of pipe couplings in food, beverage and pharmaceutical process lines.
Engineered to deliver optimal chemical resistance to satisfy the requirements of aseptic conditions, CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (sterilization-in-place) processes; HyClamp™ seals provide excellent long-term sealing performance, therefore extending planned maintenance intervals and minimizing downtime.
HyClamp™ seals are manufactured to several clamp size standards conforming to current GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and supplied with full manufacturing batch traceability and certificates of conformity on request.
HyClamp™ elastomer sanitary gaskets:
- Available in EPDM, Silicone (VMQ), FKM, FFKM and metal detectable elastomer materials
- Compliant with FDA, USP Class VI, 3A 18-03 Sanitary Standards and EC1935/EC2023
- Free from animal-derived ingredients (ADI-free)
- Optimal chemical and temperature resistance
- Excellent long-term sealing performance
- Parts manufactured to BS4825, ISO2852 and DIN32676 standard sizes
- Tooling with non-wetted part lines to prevent bacterial build-up
- Full manufacturing batch traceability
- Certificates of conformity on request
PPE provides fast and responsive lead times and hygienic Tri-clover® seal design services, supported by expert material and engineering development teams.
PPE manufactures a range of hygienic connectors to fit various aseptic pipe couplings including; IDF gaskets, RJT O-rings, DIN11864 O-rings, DIN 11851 D-seals and SMS seals.
