Hygienic Sealing Solutions

FTL provides hygienic sealing solutions for food and pharmaceutical processing, designed for cleanability and full CIP and SIP compatibility. Our seals support hygienic, reliable performance across a wide range of equipment. Typical applications include:

• Mixers and agitators for powders, pastes, slurries and liquids, including high shear mixers
• Dosing and metering systems requiring precision and chemical resistance
• Dryers and vacuum dryers for powders, granules and heat sensitive materials
• Extruders and conveyors handling abrasive or high friction products
• Reactors and process vessels operating under varied chemical and thermal conditions
• Sanitary and process pumps for liquids, syrups, gels and viscous media, including CIP and SIP applications

Rotary Seals

FTL provides cartridge‑style rotary seals designed for hygienic rotating equipment, combining easy installation with stable, efficient sealing. Within the Dynamic Sealing Group, Roplan designs mechanical seals exclusively for OEMs, supporting pumps, agitators and pharmaceutical machinery where high‑purity, high‑reliability mechanical sealing is required.

Lip Seals

Lip seals provide a clean, hygienic sealing interface for mixers, pumps, blenders and filling equipment. Available in FDA‑compliant materials, they offer low friction, reliable performance, and strong chemical resistance, suitable for washdown‑heavy environments where hygiene and product integrity are essential.

Meco Shaft Seals

Advanced sealing systems designed for challenging food and pharmaceutical processes involving powders, pastes, viscous materials, and CIP/SIP processes. MECO seals can be supplied in split designs, enabling installation and replacement without dismantling equipment, suitable for minimising downtime and maintaining production efficiency.
