The Gerromatic radial shaft seal is available via Dichtomatik Ltd, the exclusive provider for Freudenberg's food and beverage related sealing products in the UK. The seal is intended for use in axially accessible installation spaces, whereby the metallic clamping ring enables an exceptionally tight fit. The Gerromatic rotary shaft seal withstands a high-pressure load of up to 8 bar, and temperatures of between -80°C and +200°C. In other applications, a sliding speed of up to 25 m/s can be achieved. Each of the various PTFE types, such as PTFE Y002, not only have the relevant food approvals according to EU regulation 10/2011 and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), but PTFE Y002 also complies with the pharmaceutical regulations of USP Class VI. In addition, the materials are particularly resistant to CIP/ SIP (cleaning in place/sterilisation in place) cleaning media that are commonly used in the process industry. These outstanding properties make the Gerromatic particularly well suited to wet-running applications in food and beverage plants.
