Molded parts
(Almost) Anything is possible – with molded parts made by Freudenberg Process Seals you will always get the right sealing solution for your specific application.
Often in complex applications, standard components can not be used or their use is limited to provide an optimally tight seal. In these cases, molded parts are designed specifically for the required application - the molded part becomes a customer-specific solution. By modifying a standard component – for example an O ring – or as a customer development, using a completely individual material and geometry.
This is where Freudenberg Process Seals involves you in the development process right from the start. Then we can be sure of precisely meeting all your requirements. Quite regularly Freudenberg Process Seals is involved at the start of developing a machine or component already to be able to provide high system security with sealing solutions specifically customized for the purpose.

Function
Depending on the requirements made of the component, different sealing functions are needed, such as:
- Unpressurized sealing through restoring force
- Self-energizing sealing function under pressure
- Regulator function against acting pressure
- Sealing against media permeation
Vary greatly according to construction and type of application from a few millimeters up to one meter
Designs
- Elastomer composite parts in material combinations with metal, ceramics or plastic
- Precision molded parts
- Elastomer gaiters
- Extruded profiles
Application areas
Moldes parts are generally used if solutions required by the application can not be provided by standard designs. Example applications are:
- Seals for filler and valve faces for drinks systems
- Molded parts for double-seated valves and sterile valves
- Profile gaskets for separators
- Frame seals for filters
- Fittings
- and much more
