HIGH PURITY VALVES, INSTRUMENTATION, HOSES, SEALS, ELASTOMER AND PLASTICS GUIDE

ERIKS sets the standards


ERIKS is a leading developer of high performance advanced
elastomer and plastic components for the food, biochemical,
pharma and life science industries.

Pharmaceutical and food equipment present some of the most


demanding applications for elastomeric and plastic parts. Elastomers
and plastic compounds used in valves, pumps, couplings, sterilisation equipment, containers, etc. must be able to cope with a wide
range of process media, active ingredients, agressive cleaning and
sterilisation processes. In addition these elastomeric and plastic
parts must be compliant with a growing range of legislative manufacturing regulations and hygiene standards.
ERIKS offers a full range of elastomers and plastics, compliant with
the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United
States Pharmacopeia (USP class VI), Food Contact Notification, Bfr
regulation, 3A-Sanitary Standards, ADI (Animal derived ingredients)
standards, as well as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
In addition to these standards ERIKS offers different compounds that
prevent the development of bacteria and micro-biofilm.
ERIKS has over 50 years experience in designing and manufacturing
components for the food and pharmaceutical processes. Therefore,
ERIKS is very well placed to increase your plant productivity.

ERIKS sets the standard in materials:


s widest range of elastomer and plastics materials for use in
food, pharma and bioscience applications,
s materials to suite operations from -60 C to +300 C,
s materials compatible with all process media, from EPDM over
PEEK, to Kalrez perfluorelastomers,
s certificates to all international norms.

Introduction to FD A -USP co nce pt

USP class VI standards are controlled by United States Pharmacopeia


(USP), a non-governmental organisation that promotes the public
health by establishing state-of-the-art standards to ensure the quality
of medicines and other health care technologies.
The standards are published in the USP-NF which is officially
RECOGNISEDIN&$!ACTUSCeETSEQ 
USP class VI compounds have undergone tests to:
s CYTOTOXICITY
s HEMOLYSIS
s PYROGENICITY
s SENSITISATION
Some elastomers are also formulated following the European
Pharmacopeia.

USP class VI was especially developed for the pharmaceutical


industry.
This information has been carefully prepared to help in selecting the
correct elastomer or perfluorocarbon utilized in high purity sanitary
hygienic seals where critical pure water, process fluids (both ambient
and hot), and SIP environment exist.

FDA
Contact
Notification (FCN)
The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has regulatory oversight
for substances added to food,
including monitoring their safe use.
Section 309 of the Food and Drug
Administration Modernisation
!CT&$!-! OFNOWALSO
establishes a Food Contact
Notification (FCN) process as
the primary method by which
the FDA regulates substances
that are classed as 'food contact
substances' (FCS).
A FCS is any substance that is
intended for use as a component
of materials used in manufacturing,
PACKING PACKAGING TRANSPORTINGOR
holding food, but is not an additive
within the food.

During the FCN process, the sealing material and its


individual constituent ingredients undergo a significant
amount of research, testing and analysis to evaluate the
potential for food contamination.
Successful completion of the FCN process allows the
following material grades to be used in a variety of food
contact applications under the Food Contact number
&#.
The Food and Drug Administration Modernisation Act
OFPROVIDESASYSTEMWHEREBYAMANUFACTUREROR
supplier of food-contact material may submit a Food
Contact Notification (FCN) to FDA regarding the identity
and use of the new food contact substance, together
with necessary date to demonstrate that the substance is
safe for its intended use. FCN is a formal acceptance of
a material by the FDA, so it is fundamentally different to
self-certification to FDA CFR e
FCN application requires a detailed analysis of the
compound, its constituents, toxicological effects and
intended uses and is much more rigorous than the
requirements of CFR e4HECOMPLEXITYAND
high cost of the FCN process means that it is currently
restricted to a limited range of very high performance
perfluorelastomer materials that are used in very
demanding applications.

Bio-Pro, the new modified PTFE-gasket


for tri-clampcouplings
A unique alter native for
the standard PTFE/envelope gaskets

As the process conditions in pharmaceutical installations are


getting more and more severe (temperature - CIP - SIP -aseptic), the need of a universal applicable product is relevant.
Gylon Blue (the basic material for the Bio-ProGASKETS IS
a perfect combination between virgin PTFE and glass based
microspheres. Due to its inorganic microspheres, Gylon Blue
is highly compressible and can be used in a wide range of
applications.

Gylon has

Introducing a new standard of

seal that provides premium performance.

DuPont Dow Elastomers is answering that challenge with the development of new
Kalrez Sanitary Seal design, a combination of two optimum performance engineering materials - stainless steel and Kalrez. Developed using Finite Element Analysis to
simulate the range of temperatures a seal can see, this seal is designed with a metal
retainer that controls compression of the seal and prevents its intrusion into process
stream. The result is a prefabricated seal that provides the cleanliness of PTFE and the
ELASTICMEMORYOFANELASTOMERWHILEMEETINGSTRINGENT!34-REQUIREMENTSFORJOINTS
intended for clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) applications. The Kalrez
sealing element minimizes absorption, desorption and extractables to assure minimal
contamination and a long sealing life.

Bioprocessing and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes


must operate at the highest
levels of cleanliness to assure

in process lines can be a particularly troublesome source
of contamination from various
sources if the correct sealing

in excessive process downtime and maintenance costs.

Operation
Bio-guardian seals are homogeneous elastomeric seals with a high modulus of
elasticity and considerable tensile strength. The seals are designed to be fitted into
grooves and are restricted to low pressures to prevent bursting. They expand and
retract with the pressurization and deflation of the seal within a groove. The exact
groove and gap dimensions are critical in designing and producing the correct seal

Zero Deadleg 'T' Pattern
Essential for the elimination of dead
legs and designed to ease installation
and validation, Saunders Zero Deadleg
T pattern range (ZDT) enhances the
integrity of critical systems.
Machined integrally from a forging, the
ZDT normally features three common
ports with the same bore dimensions
and incorporates a valve body and tee
fitting into a single solution. ZDT valves
form the ideal solution for feeding
laterals off recirculating loops, sample
points or use point applications. The
bodies can be supplied with weld or
hygienic clamp end connections or
included in a U-bend configuration for
point-of-use service.
Major benefits of the range include:
s Virtual elimination of deadleg to
enhance process integrity
s Highly compact, space saving

A main valve is ported and a section of


tube is welded to the port to create an
access point into the valve. This tube
can in turn be welded to a second valve
forming a two-valve cluster, or the tube
can be turned into a weld end, hygienic
clamp or other type of fitting. The fabrication weld is polished to match the
required surface finish specification.
The resulting assembly is designed to
optimise drainablity and meet standard process considerations including
cGMPs for dead legs.

One of the original and prevalent uses
of PVDF was actually as a liner for carbon steel where the system combined
the strength of metal and the corrosion

Type RS
In this unique design the inserted stainless steel
spring is totally protected by the PTFE-coating on the media side. Applications with high
temperatures, defined friction forces and very
elastic behaviour are characteristics for this
sealing element. Even extra-pure media can be
conveyed or sealed off with this seal, where the
medium may not get into contact with the metal.
This type is FDA approved and admitted for
food and pharmaceutical drugs.

This page gives an overview of standard available high purity semifinished products. Our machine shop realises your finished product.
Biocompatibility for Life Science Products:
The biocompatibility describes the compatibility of a material to the tissue
or the physiological system of the patient. The assessment is performed
using various tests acc. to USP (US Pharmacopoeia) Claas VI or acc. to
ISO 10993.
Resistance to different sterilisation procedures and chemicals: multiple-use equipment in medical technology has to have good resistance
towards preparatory procedures such as sterilisation and disinfection. The
requirements are best met with high-performance plastics.
The table below gives a summary of the FDA CFR 21, ISO10993 and USP
Class VI materials.

Clean Room
A clear vision on clean products
Due to a growing awareness in the field of purity,
industry focuses more and more on effectively controlling
manufacturing processes. Goal is to prevent technical
components from being the cause of pollution in processes
and systems. Pollution can originate from airborne solid
particles, which can be visible or invisible. These particles
are called aerosols. To avoid this type of pollution is an
important factor in the pharmaceutical-, semiconductorand
food industry.
