A&nbsp;Danish company, Hydract, is championing the technology for the beverage industry. In this field, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) \u00adchampions made-to-order sealing solutions that are \u00adcustomer- and application-specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three of them recently found a&nbsp;home in a&nbsp;patented, hydraulically activated Hydract process valve. They are a&nbsp;hygienic pressure seal, a&nbsp;hygienic radial seal and a&nbsp;special static seal in which two O-rings are combined into a&nbsp;single sealing element. This food-grade trio from FST is extremely pressure- and temperature-resistant to ensure the valve\u2019s long-term functionality. Made of premium materials, the seals are \u00adalready at work in a&nbsp;famous brewery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other things, the joint efforts with Hydract included FEM calculations and test stand trials under real-life operating conditions at FST\u2019s facilities in Weinheim. Freudenberg Xpress\u00ae produced the test pieces, which means there were no tooling costs during prototyping. The Hydract valve is not only well-suited for breweries&nbsp;\u2013 it can be used in numerous food and beverage applications.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-1\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"5923\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"ip\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider an innovative, sustainable valve that operates \u00adhydraulically&nbsp;\u2013 with water.
