Hygienic Sanitary Gaskets
Parker’s hygienic sanitary gaskets are patent pending designs which offer long-term sealability, excellent wear performance, complete material traceability and easy installation.
Our sanitary gaskets are designed to meet typical ASME-BPE hygienic clamp unions with a nearly flush interface (± .008″), preventing the entrapment of any media within a dead space that can lead to microbial growth and contamination. In addition, the flush interface helps prevent erosion of the elastomeric gasket that could contaminate the process stream.
Product Highlights:
- Inner seal beads provide primary point of sealing!
- Extended plastic on one inch and larger sizes helps support seal beads and maintain flush interface
- Stock sizes available 1/2″ through 6″ • Metal detectable materials available
Product Features
- Inner seal beads provide primary point of sealing!
- Extended plastic on one inch and larger sizes helps support seal beads and maintain flush interface
- Redesigned outer bead geometry maintains sealing capability without an overfill condition that would cause the material to extrude into the ID during thermal expansion
- Outer clips to align gasket to the ferrule • Stock sizes available 1/2″ through 6″
- Metal detectable materials available
Benefits
- Intrusion/recess of the gasket less than .008″
- Long-term sealability • Easy part alignment during installation
- Easy part removal from the ferrule after use • Material traceability back to the raw ingredients
- Compression on the gasket is automatically controlled by plastic carrier
- Meets all food & beverage processing requirements
Over-Molded Rubber to Plastic Design
Parker’s hygienic sanitary gasket type B design provides superior sealability,
alignment and traceability.
Testing for intrusion & sealability
Laboratory Testing for Intrusion & Sealability
During product development, Parker’s sanitary gaskets were evaluated side-by-side with various industry leading sanitary gasket suppliers’ products, by an independent test laboratory. In doing so, Parker confirmed its products perform better than what exists in the market today.
Test Results
After the completion of 500 steam-in-place cycles, Parker’s gaskets exhibited an average of .003″ of intrusion. Compared to the competitor’s gaskets, Parker’s ethylene propylene (EPDM) gaskets displayed:
A minimum of 90% less intrusion- The ability to hold pressure without having to re-torque the clamp, resulting in labor cost savings.
- The ability to disassemble the joint and remove the gasket by hand without the use of external tools, improving the safe removal of the gasket and reducing labor costs.
Materials for Biopharmaceutical Food and Beverage Applications
Parker can offer a wide range of elastomers to accommodate the various critical sealing challenges faced in the bioparmaceutical , food and beverage markets. Selecting a suitable material is critical in both industries to insure long-term sealability and zero contamination.
For these reasons, Parker only uses materials that are compliant with the following specifications to manufacture sanitary gaskets:
- FDA standard (21 CFR 177.2600)
- US Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI
- 3-A Sanitary Standard # 18-03 and 20-25
Please contact the division for assistance in selecting materials in these situations.
Notes: Material specific data sheets available upon request. All FDA materials listed pass the FCII Title 21 177.2600 extractable testing required for repeated use in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.
Material Traceability
Each sanitary gasket has a laser etched product identification on the part to allow for full traceability.
The etched identification includes codes for the material type, manufacturing date, shift, and month of production. Parker’s internal rubber mixing capability ensures full traceability back to the raw ingredients used in production.
Assembly Tools
Parker’s i-logic end caps, slotted sanitary clamp and i-torquer wrench ensures proper fitting torque, allows for easy gasket identification and
makes end cap removal safe and easy Consult your local distributor or division for further details.
