SIP Sealing
Sterilizing medical equipment through Steam-In-Place (SIP) processes requires absolute containment under demanding thermal and chemical conditions. This case details how a custom inflatable seal was developed to reliably contain chemical-induced steam during high-grade sterilization cycles, providing a smooth, chemically resistant barrier engineered for strict medical standards.
Industry: Pharmaceutical/Medical Cleaning
The Challenge
SIP systems in medical equipment processing expose sealing components to a tough combination of high temperatures, pressure, and aggressive sterilization chemicals. Preventing chemical steam from leaking into surrounding work areas is critical for safety and process integrity.
Our Solution
We engineered a custom inflatable SIP seal moulded from a smooth, high-grade elastomer specifically chosen for severe chemical and thermal resistance. When inflated, the seal expands uniformly to create an airtight, press-fit barrier that safely holds back hot chemical vapors during active sterilization.
