Sugar

High-performance, abrasion-resistant, non-contaminating food-grade sealing solutions for demanding sugar crushing, extraction, and refining operations

Overview

Sugar processing and refining require food-safe sealing materials that maintain product purity while handling high temperatures, steam, and sugar solutions. Inmarco provides FDA-compliant sealing solutions for crushing, extraction, clarification, evaporation, and crystallization processes.

Industry Challenges

Critical Sealing Challenges

  • Food-grade material compliance and zero contamination requirements
  • Sugar syrup crystallization and hardening in seal chambers
  • Viscous, sticky residue causing seal congealing and reduced performance
  • Frequent high-pressure washdown and sanitization cycles
  • Abrasive bagasse fibers in juice extraction processes
  • Corrosive acid and lime treatment chemicals in clarification
  • Thermal cycling stress between processing and cleaning operations
  • High-temperature steam operations (up to 140°C in evaporators)
