GMORS

Consumers these days are educated more than ever concerning food health and safety regulations, and there is an increase in focus on consumer protection concerning food production equipment and systems, packaging and food contact substances. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting and promoting public health and safety through the control and supervision of food safety, medical, biological products, cosmetics, veterinary drugs, medical devices, and diagnostic products.

GMORS has decades of experience in producing high quality elastomer parts and products, and we have developed a range of food grade sealing components with excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance to a broad range of chemical media, including grease, oils, high pressure steam, alcohols, acids and alkalies.

Food grade seals are an integral part of equipment used in food processing, and they are often required to withstand the demanding conditions of equipment cleaning and sterilization under high temperature conditions in the presence of aggressive chemical media.

Our food grade compounds are compliant with the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United States Pharmacopeia (USP Class VI), 3A 18-03 Sanitary Standards (3A), and EC Regulation 1935/2004 and 2023/2006 (see the table below). They are suitable for food machinery or food contact equipment. GMORS laboratories can also issue declarations of compliance with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and provide Taiwan SGS extraction test reports.

Additionally, GMORS has the capability of conducting tests on the chemical compatibility profile for every of our certified or compliant compound in our own laboratory, and we do this in accordance with the specifications from our customers.

Public health, safety and efficacy is of utmost importance in the production of food and beverage, and GMORS is your trusted and reliable partner with more than 38 years of experience in the design and manufacturing ofFDA food grade o-rings, seals and gaskets.
