It blocks the leakage of coffee liquid, steam and acetic acid-based cleaning solutions. It ensures sealing reliability during valve opening and closing. It eliminates water leakage and fluid cross-contamination in coffee machines. This sealing performance meets the rigorous demands of Sealed Fluid Transfer Pump components for beverage equipment.
2)Assisting Precise Valve On-Off ControlThe high-hardness structure combines with the bottom grooved design. It can stably transmit the operating force for valve opening and closing. It assists the valve core in achieving precise on-off control of coffee liquid and steam. It ensures the stability of liquid output volume.
3)Self-Lubrication, Resistance Reduction & Wear ResistanceThe built-in self-lubricating silicone components reduce the frictional resistance between the rubber head and valve seat. It makes valve opening and closing smoother. It minimizes component wear caused by long-term friction. It extends the service life of the valve.
2. Performance Characteristics
1)EPDM + 85±3° High Hardness for Coffee Machine Working ConditionsEPDM material boasts excellent temperature resistance. It is able to withstand the 0–120℃ thermal environment of coffee machines. Combined with a high hardness of 85±3°, it not only ensures the structural rigidity of the sealing rubber head. It prevents deformation and failure caused by coffee liquid pressure and high-temperature steam. It meets the safety requirements for food contact scenarios at the same time. This performance advantage aligns with the technical standards of Specialty Device Components and food-grade beverage equipment accessories.
2)Acetic Acid Resistance for Cleaning ScenariosIt exhibits excellent resistance to acetic acid corrosion. It is capable of withstanding acetic acid-based cleaning agents used for daily maintenance of coffee machines. Long-term contact will not cause swelling or degradation. It ensures consistent sealing reliability.
3)Self-Lubricating Silicone + Grooved Structure for Enhanced PracticalityThe embedded self-lubricating silicone reduces resistance and improves smoothness. It makes valve operation lighter and more effortless. The bottom grooved design enhances the fitting tightness with the valve core. It prevents the rubber head from shifting during opening and closing. It improves assembly stability. This structural design complies with the matching requirements of Equipment-Specific Fittings and customized coffee machine components.
4)Food-Grade Safety for Beverage EquipmentThe EPDM material is non-toxic and harmless. It complies with food contact material standards. It can be safely used in food contact equipment such as coffee machines. It poses no health risks.

3)Small Catering EquipmentIt is used as a valve component in coffee latte art machines and espresso machines. It assists in achieving precise fluid on-off control. It complies with the assembly standards of Sealed Diaphragm Pump auxiliary valve parts in beverage systems.
4. Pain Point Solutions
1)Solving Coffee Machine Valve Leakage ProblemsOrdinary low-hardness seals are prone to deformation under coffee liquid pressure and high-temperature steam. It leads to water leakage and fluid cross-contamination. This high-hardness EPDM rubber head can stably fill gaps. It effectively prevents leakage. It is a reliable replacement part for Mini Sealed Valve components in coffee machines.
2)Resolving Material Corrosion During CleaningOrdinary rubber components are prone to swelling and failure when in contact with acetic acid-based cleaning agents. They require frequent replacement. The acetic acid resistance of this rubber head makes it suitable for cleaning scenarios. It reduces maintenance costs. It meets the durability demands of Sealed Fluid Direction Control Valve parts in beverage equipment.
3)Addressing Valve Jamming During OperationTraditional seals have high frictional resistance. It results in jamming during valve operation. The self-lubricating silicone components reduce resistance and improve smoothness. It enhances the operating experience for coffee machine stop valve systems.
4)Eliminating Seal Displacement During AssemblySmooth-surfaced seals tend to shift during opening and closing. It causes poor sealing. The bottom grooved structure enhances fitting stability. It avoids sealing failure due to displacement. It complies with the matching requirements of Equipment-Specific Fittings for coffee machine valve cores.
