Unexpected incidents can always occur in food preparation, but what can manufacturers do to minimise risks and prioritise safety? Inadequate controls or choosing the wrong materials in production lines can lead to contamination, equipment breakdown, or even failed audits. That’s why selecting the right materials is so important. Our food-safe seals guide is here to help you make an informed choice for seals that must handle everything from cleaning agents to food-grade oils. 1️⃣ Explore different seal types — from o-rings to milk gaskets and tri-clamp seals. Each type is suited for different applications and standards in the food industry. 2️⃣ Learn what factors to consider — such as food substance, temperature, cleaning method (SIP/CIP), and contamination risks. 3️⃣ Understand compliance standards — like EC1935/2004, FDA, and 3A, which ensure your seals meet stringent food safety requirements. Using the right seal helps minimise contamination risks and improves the safety of your production process. Whether it's selecting a robust tri-clamp seal to reduce bacterial growth or ensuring your materials withstand CIP cleaning, our guide makes it easy to find the best solutions for your needs.

Handling chemicals, especially hazardous ones, is a routine task in laboratories, cleanrooms, and many industrial settings where chemicals are used or manufactured. While gloves are an essential part of your protection, do you know what to look for when choosing the right ones? 🔹 Permeation & degradation: Chemicals can penetrate gloves at a molecular level (permeation), and over time, gloves can break down (degradation). Be sure to choose gloves resistant to both for the chemicals your team encounters. 🔹 Breakthrough time: This is how long it takes for chemicals to seep through glove material. Always check manufacturers’ breakthrough times and ensure your team is using gloves suited for the task at hand. Expert tip: Regularly inspect gloves for signs of wear — discoloration, swelling, or brittleness. Damaged gloves should be replaced immediately to maintain safety.

Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck has been crafting exceptional beers like Kasteelbier, St. Louis, and Brigand for over a century. For food and beverage manufacturers, even a small component can lead to trouble over time. This was the case for the brewery, which recently faced a recurring coupling issue with their production hoses. This problem caused kinks in the hoses, and thus increased the risk of tearing and contamination due to bacterial buildup around the clamp shells. It meant more maintenance, downtime, and potential quality issues. The company partnered with ERIKS to find a suitable fix. Our application engineers recommended high-quality beer hoses with pressed couplings to boost hygiene and an anti-kink spiral to prevent bending. These hoses are perfect for vertical connections and help maintain an uninterrupted beer flow. 🍺 The result? ✅ Increased uptime: Fewer maintenance interruptions mean more brewing. ✅ Reduced costs: Longer-lasting hoses lower the total cost of ownership (TCO). ✅ Enhanced quality: The risk of contamination significantly reduced.

It's essential that the hoses carrying flammable liquids are made from a reliable, anti-static materials so they don't become a potential ignition source. Choosing a ATEX-certified hose: 🛡️ Zone classification — Equipment should be appropriately rated for the zone it will operate in. e.g., Zone 0, 1, 2 for gases, Zone 20, 21, 22 for dust. 🛡️ Material compatibility — Make sure the hose materials are compatible with the substances they're exposed to, including chemical and temperature resistance.
