The Sugar Industry

Compliance

Operate with Confidence

Standards are imperative for consistency across all sectors. Especially with products designed for human consumption, all the required guidelines and certifications must be meticulously followed. Many types of industrial materials are suitable for sealing oil, gas, mines and other particularly aggressive media, but they would not be suitable for the food or beverage processing industries.

Chesterton Customseal’s production and quality processes are independently certified to ISO 9001:2015, covering seals and seal kits for hydraulic, pneumatic, rotary, and static applications. We prioritise customer experience, continuous improvement, and sustainability to deliver the best products and service on the market.

Our seals meet the highest national and international regulatory standards, including:

• FDA
• NSF
• Drinking water
• Pharmaceutical regulations

Reduce Maintenance, Downtime and Repair Costs. Improve Efficiency Under Harsh Conditions.

Unplanned maintenance, equipment downtime, and energy waste can stress your business as the sugar cane does on your machinery.

Our sealing solutions are designed to ease the operation in dusty and abrasive environments. The advantages are:

• Easing excessive wear on the equipment to help bearings and shafts continue to run for longer, which increases uptime and production.
• Avoid unscheduled downtime and unwanted shutdowns.
• Protects the air from dangerous fumes, which can make the air safer to breathe and reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

Thanks to these benefits, the sugar producer can save thousands of dollars by minimizing downtime, increasing equipment longevity and possibly even insurance payments by reducing workplace risks.

All of our sealing solutions for the food and beverage industry can be used in the following process:

• Food resources
• Food processing (treatment and preparation)
• Packaging

With many years of experience and expertise in food and beverage machinery, we have the solutions you need
