Orange Beverages on assembly line

The beverage industry can be a highly competitive field, and guaranteeing a consistent flavor is essential for staying ahead. Consumers expect their favorite drinks to taste the same every single time. However, maintaining this consistency can prove challenging during the manufacturing process, particularly when it comes to flavor transfer.

 

Traditional sealing materials used in beverage production can act like sponges, absorbing flavors from beverages and causing unwanted cross-contamination in later batches. This flavor transfer results in inconsistent product quality and an “off” taste. This not only impacts consumer satisfaction but can also lead to costly product recalls and brand damage. Furthermore, these sponge-like seals can be difficult to clean and sanitize, increasing the risk of not only flavor transfer, but microbial contamination.

 

Fortunately, Freudenberg-NOK has developed innovative solutions to address these challenges. Seals designed for the food and beverage industry are made from specialized elastomers that help to minimize flavor absorption and release, ensuring that each batch of your beverage maintains its intended flavor profile. Freudenberg offers a wide array of O-rings and other sealing products that are compliant with the stringent requirements of the food and beverage industry. They also offer Hygienic Usit® rings, which provide excellent sealing performance while being designed for easy cleaning. These advanced materials also offer superior resistance to cleaning agents and high temperatures, simplifying sanitation and reducing downtime.

 

By implementing Freudenberg's sealing solutions, beverage manufacturers can:

•  Ensure consistent flavor profiles.

•  Minimize the risk of cross-contamination.

•  Improve hygiene and sanitation.

•  Reduce cleaning time and downtime.

•  Increase the lifespan of the equipment.
