The Removable TFM is a gasket we developed because of its unique mechanical properties. The gasket is made out of two mating parts. In between these two parts you can place any kind of product as long as it is no thicker than 1.00 mm. Products like orifice plates, screens and perforated discs can be used. The Removable TFM gasket can be dismantled after use, cleaned and reassembled again without any problem. Perfect if a screen needs to be cleaned. Orifice plates can be exchanged rapidly. Sock screens which cannot be supplied with a PTFE-seal can now be equipped with a TFM seal.
Ensuring product purity and process integrity across the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.
The Removable TFM gasket is designed for applications where screens, orifice plates and perforated discs require regular replacement or cleaning. Its innovative two-piece construction allows components up to 1.0 mm thick to be securely positioned between the gasket halves, creating a versatile sealing solution that can be easily assembled, disassembled and reused.
Manufactured from high-performance TFM, the gasket offers enhanced mechanical properties compared to conventional PTFE, including improved dimensional stability, reduced deformation and excellent chemical resistance. This makes it particularly suitable for demanding pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processes where hygiene, reliability and process integrity are essential.
Available as a complete assembly or as individual gasket components, the Removable TFM system gives customers the flexibility to create multiple configurations while simplifying maintenance and minimizing downtime in critical production environments.
Maximum flexibility. Easy maintenance. Reliable pharmaceutical performance.
If we want to install an orifice plate with a thickness of 1.00 mm, we use the setup with two mating parts both consisting of a 0.50 mm chamber. These two chambers add up to 1.00 mm. Carefully locate the centre chamber, place the orifice plate inside and click the two gasket halves together so they lock.
If we want to install a screen with a thickness of 0.45 mm, we use the setup with two mating parts one with a 0.50 mm chamber and one without, so flat. Carefully locate the centre chamber, place the screen inside and click the two gasket halves together so they lock.
Removable TFM is available in the following standards:
