The Clamp Seal, also known as a sanitary clamp gasket, is a circular gasket used to ensure a secure and hygienic seal in the junction of flanged pipes. This type of gasket is widely used in the food sector, especially in pipes used for milk transport and in all applications where hygiene is of paramount importance.
Its design has been specifically conceived to maintain the integrity of fluids within the pipes, preventing leaks and contaminations, especially during the transfer processes of delicate substances such as milk and other food products. The simple shape of the Clamp Seal allows for its use in a wide range of situations, both to ensure a secure seal between pipes in a distribution system and for the proper insertion and sealing of instruments measuring process characteristics.
The reference standards, such as DIN 32676, ISO 2852, and DIN 11851, define in detail the shape, dimensions, tolerances, and mounting procedures of the gaskets, ensuring quality and safety standards in their application.
These regulations are essential to guarantee proper and uniform production of gaskets, ensuring they conform to industry standards and maintain the necessary characteristics for a perfect seal in various operating situations. In particular, the DIN 32676 standard focuses on gaskets for flanges used in contact with food and pharmaceuticals, establishing stringent requirements for the materials used, processing, and hygiene. On the other hand, ISO 2852 specifies the requirements for gaskets for stainless steel pipes used in the food industry, while DIN 11851 defines gaskets for threaded fittings primarily used in the food and beverage sector.
The Clamp Seal is a technologically advanced and essential gasket to ensure reliable and hygienic sealing in piping and flange systems used in the food industry and other applications where safety and hygiene are priorities. Adherence to reference standards ensures that these gaskets are produced and used with high standards of quality and compliance, contributing to maintaining the efficiency and safety of industrial processes.
