Sealing element i.e. joint, for pipe end connector in liquid food product transporting circuit, has annular part elastically deformable under action of axial constraints, and sidewalls with reinforcement integrated to annular part

摘要

The element i.e. joint (1), has an annular part (2) elastically deformable under an action of axial constraints, where the element is defined by sidewalls. The sidewalls comprise a mechanical annular reinforcement (3) integrated to the annular part. The sidewalls are connected to an inner surface and an outer surface. The reinforcement is prolonged on a portion of the inner surface and/or the outer surface, where the reinforcement is made of polymer or metal. An independent claim is also included for a pipe end connection device comprising a body defining a reception housing receiving a pipe end.
