1.Food Safety Compliance: Made from food-grade rubber, these expansion joints comply with relevant regulations and standards, such as FDA and EU directives, ensuring safety for food contact applications.
2.Flexibility: They allow for significant axial, lateral, and angular movements, effectively absorbing thermal expansion, vibrations, and misalignment in the piping system.
3.Hygienic Design: The materials and construction minimize the risk of bacterial growth, making them suitable for clean-in-place (CIP) applications often used in food and beverage processing.
4.Durability: Food-grade rubber expansion joints are resistant to various cleaning chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and wear, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Food-grade rubber expansion joints are widely used in the food and beverage industry, including applications such as dairy processing, breweries, soft drink manufacturing, and food transport systems. They help maintain the integrity of the piping system while ensuring that food products are handled safely and hygienically, allowing for smooth operation and effective movement absorption in the process.
