NEEDS & WANTS
- Challenging low speed pattern around shaft seals in Twin Screw Pumps (TSP).
- Molded elastomers are required due to Clean In Place (CIP) procedures, but also limits qualities available for use.
- The EHEDG (European Hygienic Equipment Design Group) test procedure is used to verify CIP.
SOLUTION
Having the incentive to only use standard sized O-rings within the design, a working solution being able to successfully pass the EHEDG test protocol was designed.
CUSTOMER GAIN
The customer can now apply virtually any elastomer quality being requested by the end-users without being limited to what is available as molded parts.
