WEINHEIM, Germany—When Tetra Pak set out to meet the strict standards for country- and industry-specific hygiene requirements with one of its product offerings, the company turned to Freudenberg Sealing Technologies.
That product—a tubular heat exchanger for food industry process lines—features a specially designed FST seal. And that heat exchanger, FST said, is the first and only device on the market to receive European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group standards approval.
In achieving these standards, the Tetra Pak products—and FST sealing seal—achieved FDA, EG (Reg.) 1935/2004 and 3-A® Sanitary Standards.
"The objective of the development cooperation between Freudenberg and Tetra Pak was to develop a cost-effective, hygienic sealing solution that would connect the stainless-steel components of the new tubular heat exchanger," FST said in a news release.
