raises
Bio-Hygienix the
bar
Tri-clamp to
produce
seal, and
supply the best possible sanitary gasket. The Bio-Hygienix Tri-clamp seal is used in the most critical parts of pharmaceutical production and is traceable to the source.
Bio-Hygienix Tri-clamp seals: ▪▪ One
unique material for each fully
certified compound ▪▪
One polymer source for each material
▪▪
One production location based in Europe
▪▪ One
dedicated mold for each
produced size ▪▪ 100%
Material
For a product with such high standards, every step of the design and production process needs to be done correctly. This is why ERIKS has chosen to produce BioHygienix Tri-clamp seals in Europe. The production location meets the highest standards for clean production and all seals are made on a production line that is dedicated to medical and pharmaceutical grade products.
Reducing bacterial growth
Traceability
Since the Bio-Hygienix Tri-clamp seals have very precise dimensions, every size has its own mold. Bio-Hygienix is designed
to create a seamless connection between the two halves of the coupling. The inner diameter is considered to be the most important dimension on the gasket and because there is no parting line, the potential growth of bacteria is reduced to a minimum.
Fully certified compounds The materials used for the Bio-Hygienix Triclamp seals are specially developed ERIKS compounds. They are carefully selected to guarantee a clean, pharma grade compound. Every material is fully certified and has its own compound number to enhance traceability.
