Areas of application for Orobica seals
Production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
In beverage production, Orobica seals ensure stable operation of pasteurisers and heat exchangers. NBR FOOD and EPDM FOOD materials guarantee no migration of substances into the product, preserving the original taste of beverages. High resistance to CIP/SIP procedures ensures compliance with sanitary standards.
Dairy industry and dairy product processing
Temperature resistance of materials is critically important for the dairy industry. EPDM HT FOOD (-40°C to +150°C) and FKM ‘A’ FOOD (-15°C to +220°C) seals are ideal for milk pasteurisation and cheese production. The materials do not affect the quality of dairy products and are resistant to aggressive cleaning agents.
Pharmaceutical industry
The highest standards of cleanliness are used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Seals made of H-NBR and FKM materials ensure process sterility at high temperatures and pressures. Resistance to steam sterilisation and chemical disinfectants is critical in this industry.
Chemical industry
Orobica offers specialised materials for working with aggressive chemical environments. FKM options withstand the effects of acids, alkalis and organic solvents at temperatures up to +220°C. H-NBR materials provide reliable sealing under high mechanical loads.
The importance of choosing the right materials
Seal selection criteria
The correct selection of sealing material is critical for the efficient operation of the heat exchanger. When selecting seals, the following must be taken into account:
- Temperature stability: the material must withstand operating temperatures without deformation or loss of properties.
- Chemical resistance: the seal must be resistant to working environments, including acids, alkalis and organic solvents.
- Mechanical stability: ability to withstand pressure and mechanical loads during operation.
- CIP/SIP compatibility: resistance to on-site cleaning procedures and steam sterilisation.
Consequences of incorrect selection
Incorrectly selected seals can lead to:
- System leaks
- Product contamination
- Premature failure of equipment
- Increase in maintenance costs
