Seals Rise to the Challenge of Churning Heavy Dough
Commercial mixers can make easy work of producing huge quantities of bread dough and batters. But the mechanical forces created by the those mixers as they churn through heavy, sticky, voluminous ingredients can cause agitator and motor stress, seal failures and even shaft leakages – unacceptable risks in the highly regulated food and beverage industry.…
Simrit adapts to fluid market with FFKM Diaphragm Design
To improve the ability of a metering pump to resist absorption of media, Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies Simrit developed a unique diaphragm design for fluid handling applications, such as inkjet printers used in offices and homes. Freudenberg-NOK’s design replaces the traditional polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) foil with a perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) layer that is bonded onto fluoroelastomer (FKM) pump diaphragms to…
