We guide you towards safe production
In order to be able to guarantee the quality and purity of the products, Kofler - Dichtungen has set itself the task of producing seals in food quality. In this way, we help our customers to a safe process and contamination-free products. Any production defects and downtimes can be avoided and losses prevented.
Kofler - Dichtungen develops its seals strictly according to the specifications of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This provides precise guidelines for the use of materials that come into contact with food.
In this way, a completely hygienic sealing technology that meets the high demands of food processing can be guaranteed.
Hygienic Sealing Solutions
When using seals in the food sector, it is imperative that they exhibit chemical resistance to cleaning processes (such as CIP cleaning methods) and sterilization. Just like in the pharmaceutical industry, the food and beverage industry must comply with specific standards and any applicable approvals. Sealing materials of food-grade quality must meet the standards set by the Food and Drug Administration as well as those of EU1935/2004, USP Class VI, 3A Sanitary, NSF, and BFR. Kofler - Dichtungen manufactures all seals in accordance with these industries stringent requirements, strictly adhering to the standards for purity levels and hygienic design principles.

Interesting Facts from Sealing Technology
Sealing Materials, and Elastomers: An Overview
Elastomers, as sealing materials, encompass various substances for specified applications in seal engineering. Elastomers are dimensionally stable and elastically deformable plastics. A prime example is rubber bands. While they maintain their shape, they also possess elastic characteristics and tensile stress due to an entropic effect (entropy elasticity). Elastomers are cross-linked through covalent bonds between molecule chains (macromolecules), similar to thermosetting plastics. This rubber-like elasticity occurs as the tangled polymer chains respond to tensile stress by stretching or disentangling.
