The new Food Grade range of pipework systems is said to be the first product range on the market that meets the stringent requirements of the European standard EC 1935/2004, as well as the U.S. Food and Drug Admin. (FDA) food regulations. Food Grade is a modular, stainless-steel pipework system with more than 3,000 components, over 1,000 of which were replaced or redesigned to meet these standards. The adhesive-free, vulcanized U-shaped seals not only ensure food-grade conformity to the standards, but also have improved temperature and tear resistance over conventional adhesive-bonded U-shaped seals, says the company. All components that come in contact with food are made with stainless steel that meets the quality standard V23A/1.4301. — Fr. Jacob Söhne GmbH & Co. KG, Porta Westfalica, Germany
