Food grade pipework

20 August 2013

JACOB (UK) has introduced a new food grade range of modular stainless steel pipework which meets the stringent requirements of the European EC 1935/2004 standard, as well as the American FDA food regulations.


The  Jacob Food Grade range is a modular, stainless steel pipework system with more than 3000 products. In excess of 1000 of these components, from stainless steel parts to adhesives and sealing materials, were replaced or redesigned to ensure that all food contact parts satisfy the requirements of the EC 1935/2004 directive.


The new 'adhesive-free' vulcanised elastomer U-shaped seals not only ensure food grade compliance, but are said to have better temperature and tear resistance than many conventional glued seals. All components that come into contact with food are made exclusively from quality DIN standard stainless steel V2A/1.4301. Adhesives are avoided as far as is possible, but in situations where this is impossible, only food-grade adhesives are used.


A new 150-page technical catalogue is available: [email protected]
