High temperatures and pressures are key markers of oil and gas exploration and production, with chemical processing facilities exposing elastomer seals to highly aggressive chemical compounds -all of which can have significant impacts on the lifetime and performance of these seals. In dairy production, the degradation of a sealing element can greatly increase the risk of contamination.By following the STAMPS method, it is possible to minimize this hygiene risk to dairy produce by ensuring the safest possible process lines.

Traditional absorption pads—containing blood from a cut of fresh meat in a tray, for example—can harbour bacteria and create a food safety danger.

While today’s digital presses are close to the cost/benefit ratio of offset for high quality work, they are not yet able to compete with the volume an offset press can produce.
