Typical Industries
Food and Beverage
Vulcan Seals offer standard Mechanical Seal materials of the highest quality throughout all of our Mechanical Seal range. However, the demands of the Food, Beverage and Dairy Industries are constantly changing and seal manufacturers must now offer materials to meet the requirements of FDA and EU legislation.
Vulcan Seals offer Mechanical Seal ranges, fully compliant to all requirements stipulated on FDA and EC Regulation Number 1935/2004, on materials and articles intended to come into contact with Food.
We offer the widest range of direct replacement Mechanical Seals to suit the most common and widely utilised pumps in the:- Dairy, cheese, ice cream, food process, chocolate and confectionery, soft drinks, brewing and viniculture Industries.
As well as requiring no adjustment or modification to the original pump and seal housing these special Mechanical Seals are always available from stock in the common shaft sizes and materials.
Specific Sealing Requirements
Below are some of the mechanical seals specifically design for the dairy industry. A comprehensive list of all dairy seals is available from our local Vulcan representative.
The materials, production and surface finish of Vulcan’s food industry compliant seals have been carefully specified to meet all of the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) recommendations and FDA standard criteria. Full details are available from our technical department.
Our FEP/PFA encapsulation materials meet the highest regulatory compliance standards, these include FDA, USP class VI, EC 193/2003 ROHS and REACH. In compliance-critical industries, meeting both regulatory and application demands results in the sourcing of a wide variety of high-cost sealing solutions.
