The importance of elastomer O-rings in the CIP and SIP process The cleaning of industrial machinery is of particular importance in process plants that manufacture very different products and are therefore subject to much higher hygienic requirements. Today, the development and growth of CIP/SIP technology makes it possible to carry out the cleaning process without dismantling equipment, in an automated manner and in the shortest possible time. To ensure that the manufactured product passes the quality controls implemented in the plant, the CIP/SIP technology is used to...

The service life of elastomer materials is not unlimited. Sometimes we have the need to store elastomer components for a long time to ensure their availability in case of an emergency. To ensure that stored elastomer parts maintain their properties, we strongly recommend following the storage guidelines according to DIN 7716. Highlights for extending the shelf life of an elastomer: The storage space reserved for elastomers should be dry and dust-free, as far as possible. The...
