Mechanical seals for the hygienic industry
Balancing efficiency with strict health and safety regulations is a key challenge for manufacturers in the hygienic sector. Whether batch-processing vaccines or making dairy products, mechanical seals are critical for ensuring the quality and safety of the end product.
Since inception, Roplan has supplied mechanical seals for rotary equipment used in (bio)pharmaceutical, personal care, food and beverage plants. Our mechanical seals are engineered with the right materials and hygienic designs to prevent contamination and withstand cleaning processes. As key members of 3A®, EHEDG, and ASME BPE, we stay ahead of industry changes, ensuring our seal designs comply with the latest standards.
Sealing expertise for food and beverage processing
Food and beverage processing faces the strictest hygienic regulations. With contamination at a high risk, the sanitary design of your mechanical seals is your number one priority. Reliable sealing technology not only limits product faults or recalls but also prevents unforeseeable production downtime.
For 45 years, Roplan has partnered with leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in food and beverage processing, developing mechanical seals for all applications. Our engineered seals are proven to last and can withstand rigorous cleaning processes, such as cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP). Our hygienic design and materials meet statutory requirements, such as EHEDG, 3A®, FDA and EC 1935/2004.
