Our elastomer solutions for the food sector

• Hardnesses: a wide range of hardnesses, from 15 to 80 Shore A, enabling rigidity to be adapted to the specific needs of the application.
• Food standards: all our products comply with European and American regulations, including CE 1935-2004, CE 10-2011 and FDA certifications, guaranteeing maximum safety in food contact.
• Colouring: our elastomers are available in a range of colours, including blue, making them easy to spot in industrial food environments for added safety.
  Coextrusion: a technique that allows several materials to be combined in a single profile; different hardnesses and/or colours can be combined, improving the mechanical performance and adaptability of seals.
• Antistatic & ATEX: Prodex has developed a food-grade and ATEX conduit joint, an innovative product with a food-grade conductivity, making it suitable for use in ATEX environments (environments where there is a high risk of explosion due to the presence of electrostatic powders and electricity, whether visible or not to the naked eye).
  Temperature range: resistant to extreme temperatures, from -40°C to +90°C, for optimum use in refrigerated environments as well as in room temperature or hot applications. Please note that Prodene materials are not suitable for ovens and hobs, but we can offer suitable silicone materials.
• U.V. resistance: our food-grade elastomers can be resistant to ultraviolet rays, guaranteeing extended durability even when exposed to prolonged light. To be defined together when defining the project.
  Recyclability: we are committed to an environmental approach by manufacturing 100% recyclable products.
  Welding and finishing: our welding and finishing capabilities (drilling, marking, etc.) eliminate the need for adhesives and ensure a quality finished product ready for installation in your equipment.
  Small production runs and fast response times: we guarantee new tooling in less than 2 weeks for a minimum order of 25 metres.

Here are a few examples of common applications:

• Packaging gaskets: used to guarantee watertightness in food packaging equipment.
• Industrial kitchens: specific seals for cooking installations, offering protection against heat and aggressive agents.
• Refrigerator and cold room doors: our elastomers provide perfect, long-lasting insulation, essential for maintaining optimum temperatures.
• Tank seals: guarantee a perfect seal in food storage or processing tanks.
  Inflatable seals: used in watertight locking systems.
• Vibrating sieves and scrapers: our elastomers are used to ensure efficient product filtration and conveying.
• Extraction or blowing hoods: to ensure good air circulation in production environments.
  Seals for cleanroom doors: our profiles are essential for ensuring that clean areas are watertight, in compliance with strict hygiene standards.
• Pipe joint sleeves: ideal for systems conveying food fluids, these joints guarantee a tight, durable connection.
• O-rings for lids: ensure tightness in hermetic closure systems for food containers; the weldability of the gaskets ensures extremely long service life and eliminates the need to add glue.
