Sealing profile and system for sealing a clamp

摘要

A sealing profile is used in a clamp. The clamp includes two circumferential sealing sections and a connection section and is designed that the circumferential sealing sections classed the part to be clamped and therefore seal the gap between the clamping means and the part to be clamped, and the connecting section finishes with the outer contours of the clamping sections and therefore seal the clamping slits between the clamping sections of the clamping means to the other side. The sealing section contributes to the hygienic design of cross-clamps and can be used in cross-clamps of clamping parts in the food industry or food processing industry. The continuous sealing profile permits cavities and gaps to be sealed to prevent a microorganism growth and ensures that the part of the plant is easy to clean without leaving cleaning agent residue to accumulate.

主权项

1. A sealing profile for sealing a pair of profile slits and a clamping slit of a clamp,
the clamp for clamping at least two mechanical parts together, the clamp comprising a clamp portion, the clamp portion comprising
a pair of transverse ends,a circumferential section,a pair of clamping sections for clamping one of the mechanical parts, each clamping section having an end section opposing the end section of the other clamping section,a clamping slit disposed between the opposing clamping sections, andeach profile slit disposed proximate a respective transverse end of the clamping portion, each profile slit disposed in the circumferential section and the pair of clamping sections; the sealing profile comprising: a pair of circumferential sealing sections circumferential sealing section disposed in a respective profile slit and sealing the respective transverse end of the clamping portion against the one of the mechanical parts; and a connecting section connecting one circumferential sealing section to the other circumferential sealing section, the connecting section disposed in the clamping section to seal the clamping slit.
