These fittings are made of materials suitable for use in the food industry.
They can also be used with hot and cold tap water.
The brass parts undergo two successive treatments, unleading, to remove the
lead from the surface layer, followed by electrolysis, in which an intermetallic
alloy is applied to increase wear and corrosion resistance. Both treatments are
patented.
The gaskets are made of special FDA-approved Viton®. These fittings do not
contain technopolymers, thereby avoiding problems of compatibility with
detergents and other chemical agents. This choice of materials allows the
fittings to be used up to 150°C, which makes them suitable for other
high-temperature applications, in addition to the food industry.
The threads are cylindrical and under-head O-rings provide a pneumatic seal.
This avoids the need for sealants (e.g. Teflon®), which could release solid
fragments during screwing and unscrewing that would contaminate the
environment or the fluid. Our fittings can be screwed and unscrewed any
number of times and still remain clean and pneumatically sealed. This choice
of materials and treatments make these fittings suitable
for use in the chemical, pharmaceutical, medical and electronics industry.
A standard range of fittings is available, but other designs can be developed
on specific request.
