GASKETS
for the refrigeration industry
TECHNOLOGY AND FUNCTIONALITY
 Originally,
sealing between the door and the refrigerator was achieved by using
tubular extruded profiles in vulcanised rubber, injection spliced
at the joint and compressed with a lever tumbler lock.
ILPEA has developed and created a sealing system by means of a gasket
made of non-migrating PVC compound.
The flexible magnetic profile inserted into the gasket guarantees
that the door shuts hermetically and this has drastically changed
the concept of sealing in the refrigeration sector. Today, as market
leader, ILPEA is constantly searching for state-of-the-art solutions
and has developed three fundamental product ranges:
- Magnetic and non-magnetic gaskets
This is the first group of products developed by the Company.
The design of ILPEA’s gaskets
is constantly being updated and improved with innovative
solutions in regard to functionality
and use of materials. Thanks to this, hinge rolling has
been eliminated and the sealing tightness and the compression
set have reached an optimal level.

- Twin
This co-extruded gasket made of rigid and soft materials
represents the most innovative aspect of this market. The
base is formed by a rigid part which has at least one V-shaped
flexible flange which snaps onto the door inner liner, while
the soft part consists of a balloon which grants the normal
gasket bellow function. This allows robotized assembling
of the gasket onto the door and easier installation of the
spare gaskets.

- Breakers (rigid frames)
ILPEA has developed a wide range of rigid frames made of
shock resistant PVC for chest freezers, commercial freezers
and refrigerated display units. Thanks to a particular process
developed by the Company, it is now possible to splice the
corners of the frames composed of extruded lengths in such
a way as to obtain a round angle that has an internal and
external radius of up to 30mm.

ILPEA has set up production facilities in the proximity of customers’
plants, in compliance with its
“global
partnership” strategy.
As a result, the Company is in a position to supply its products
to the world’s main manufacturers of
refrigerators and freezers by the “just in time”
concept.
ILPEA is continuously improving the aforementioned products
and has obtained 14 international patents for innovations in
this sector. |
