Our products are manufactured with FDA materials and approved elastomers that comply with sanitary and safety standards such as:

FDA.

Food and Drug Administration

EC 1935/2004.

European regulation for food contact materials

Regulation 3A.

Hygiene regulations for the food industry, especially in the dairy sector.

USP (United States Pharmacopeia).

Essential standards for pharmaceutical applications.

EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group).

Requirements for hygienic designs throughout the food production and processing process.

NSF (National Sanitation Foundation).

Certification of products and services that help protect food, water and consumer products.

Key factors in sealing for the food and pharmaceutical industry

The success of sealing solutions in these sectors is based on four fundamental pillars:

Toxicity and certifications

available for connection and sealing systems in pipelines and equipment.

All our sealing materials are non-toxic and comply with health regulations such as FDA, CE 1935/2004, 3A, USP, EHEDG and NSF. This ensures that products in contact with food and drugs are safe and meet international quality requirements.

Resistance and compatibility

Our gaskets are designed to be resistant to product contact and chemical cleaning and disinfection agents. They are suitable for processes requiring elevated temperatures, ensuring seal integrity during steam sterilization and other critical processes.

Aseptic design and safety

The design of our sealing solutions prioritizes smooth surfaces, free of pores and cavities, to prevent the accumulation of debris and bacterial contamination.

We manufacture sealing gaskets in blue, a specific color that facilitates the visual detection of particles in the product.

We also have options for detectable materials, which enhance security through automatic identification and metal or X-ray detection systems.

Traceability and approvals

We guarantee the traceability of manufacturing batches, for greater control and safety.

We have packages of approvals and certificates, such as EN 10204 3.1, which support the quality and control of our products throughout the supply chain.

Epidor's commitment to the food and pharmaceutical sector

Our sealing solutions for the food and pharmaceutical sector are adapted to the strict regulations required by this industry. Because our commitment is to offer safe, certified products with the best traceability.
