If you are an engineer or plant manager in the food industry and you are concerned about guaranteeing the safety and quality of your products, you have come to the right place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Lidering we are manufacturers of mechanical seals with food certifications, allowing us to ensure excellence in food health quality.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you need to know more about food certifications in the manufacture of mechanical seals? We tell you about it below.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are food certifications in the seal manufacturing sector?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Food certifications<\/a> are official documents that guarantee that a product meets the safety and quality standards required for its use in the food industry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of mechanical seals, these certifications are essential to ensure that these seals, in contact with food products, do not contaminate or compromise the integrity of the food or beverage with which they come into contact.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do certifications apply to mechanical seals?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Food certifications in the manufacture of mechanical seals <\/span>must comply with the demanding standards of the sector, such as FDA certification or CE 1935\/2004 certification, among the most relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monitor the health and safety of food, medicines and related products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FDAFDA (Food & Drug Administration)<\/b><\/h3>\n

The US Food and Drug Administration, FDA, is an agency whose purpose is to oversee the health and safety of food, drugs and related products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting rigorous industry safety standards, Lidering’s mechanical seals are supplied with the <\/span>FDA’s CFR21 regulatory code<\/span>, which attests to a set of standards and rules that materials – intended to be in contact with food and drugs – must meet without compromising public health.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"CE<\/p>\n

CE 1935\/2004\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

In Europe, the mandatory <\/span>CE 1935\/2004 and CE 10\/2011 regulations <\/span>establish the requirements for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food products. These European regulations for mechanical seals control the migration of substances from the materials from which the mechanical seal is made to the product with which they are in contact (milk, juice, chocolate, jams, etc…). The aim is to ensure that all materials in contact with food are safe and meet the same quality requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why choose food-certified mechanical seals?<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is clear that the choice of food-certified mechanical seals offers a number of key benefits for engineers and plant managers in the food industry. These benefits include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
