The seal blocks out water and bacteria and also prevents a non-hygienic metal-to-metal assembly.
The design of the bolts does not deviate from the sizes of current standard bolts. Therefore, wrench sizes, thread heights etc. all remains the same making it very easy to upgrade and replace standard bolts. This is the right choice of bolts to be used on all machinery in all certified hygienic wash-down environments.
The bolts have self-draining surfaces with a maximal roughness of 0.8 pm Ra.
