CIP/SIP Test Bench for the Process Industry

Seals can be tested in your customer-specific media, in all common CIP/SIP media and in steam and hot water sterilization. All types of elastomeric seals in valves and aggregates, such as O‑rings, diaphragms and molded parts can be integrated and tested. This enables you to check your seal design or optimize it before production begins and reduces amount of field tests.

Your Possibilities at a Glance:

Testing of all types of elastomeric seals in valves and aggregates such as O-rings, diaphragms, butterfly valve and profile seals and molded parts
Testing of metrology and pump seals
Sealing tests in connection with alkalis, acids and disinfectants
Testing of critical applications with steam, cold and hot product media
Performance of damage analyses for existing sealing problems
