Advanced PTFE gaskets for demanding applications

As a trusted supplier of high-performance sealing solutions to the pharmaceutical industry, the Garlock family of companies knows that gaskets can make or break a sanitary process. Stephen Doherty, global segment leader, talks to World Pharmaceuticals Frontiers about how material technology is evolving to meet manufacturing challenges and help pharmaceutical companies adapt to smaller batch sizes, frequent changeovers, leaner operations, vendor consolidation and stricter regulations.

Let’s get critical

Introducing the GYLON® BIO-PRO Plus™

Life-saving medications and microwaveable burritos don’t seem like they would have much in common. When it comes to the processing facilities that handle these seemingly disparate products, however, the need for hygiene and material purity differ little between the two.

Contamination can be just as disastrous at a refried bean processing facility as it would at a pharmaceutical plant, and one of the frontline safeguards against contamination are the gaskets that seal one pipe length to another.

The right tool for the job

PS-SEAL® for Demanding Applications

Just like the choice between a pick-up truck and a sports car is a matter of what you need to do with it, selecting the right oil seal for your application will depend on your specific application parameters.

The heart of food, beverage and pharmaceutical operations

Introducing the GYLON® ONE-UP® Diaphragm Pump

Much like a human heart, a diaphragm pump creates a vacuum and propulsion action that pulls material in and propels it through the piping system toward the next stage in the processing operation.

In the food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing industries, the diaphragm pump is essential to the safe and productive transfer of the process medium.

Cleaner, safer food and beverages with Garlock

When you’re cooking at home, do you perfectly sanitize your pots, pans and utensils? Probably not, but for the global food and beverage industry, pristine production equipment is everything.

From the plant floor to your grocery cart, drinks and food items must maintain immaculate sanitation, and a single leaking gasket or contaminated connection in the production facility will turn quality products into expensive waste. The Garlock family of companies wants the world to be well-fed and safe, and that means designing sealing solutions capable of handling harsh sanitation routines.

Why Pharma Companies Require Sealing Suppliers to be ISO Certified

George Bovenzi, Stephen Doherty, and Steve Pitolaj discuss the need for sealing suppliers to be ISO 9001:2008 certified to assure consistently high quality products for pharmaceutical manufacturers and, ultimately, the safety of patients for whom their products are prescribed.
