ILPEA started as a company specializing in magnetic and non-magnetic gaskets for domestic refrigerators. Over the years, we have expanded our expertise to include the manufacture of components for commercial and professional refrigeration equipment.
Our experience in material selection, extrusion, welding, and the development of tailor-made geometries allow us to work closely with customers from the earliest stages of a project, turning specific requirements into customized solutions.
Depending on the application, we manufacture gaskets and extruded profiles in PVC and TPE, designed to provide the perfect combination between flexibility, durability, and efficiency.
Engineered for Professionals
Our product range includes:
- magnetic and non-magnetic door gaskets;
- rigid profiles and shelf trims;
- decorative and functional interior profiles;
- gaskets for ice dispenser ducts;
- corrugated and smooth hoses;
- hoses DVGW certified for contact with drinking water.
Our solutions can be applied to professional refrigerators, freezers, beverage coolers, display cabinets, ice machines, and many other types of equipment used in professional catering, bars, and even the kitchens of top chefs.
Performance for Demanding Professional Environments
Unlike domestic appliances, professional refrigeration equipment is designed to operate continuously and withstand intensive use. Kitchens are demanding working environments: operators may open and close refrigerator doors thousands of times and clean the equipment after every service. Every component must therefore be designed to maintain its performance under these severe service conditions.
At ILPEA, we specialize in developing high-performance, tailor-made solutions, including refrigerator door gaskets designed to preserve their properties even after thousands of hours of operation.
Solutions Shaped Around Your Needs
Professional appliance manufacturers often develop customized equipment to fit specific design and meet application requirements while maintaining high performance. Likewise, our engineering team develops customized gasket geometries to meet specific needs and carefully selects the most suitable materials to ensure a consistent sealing effect along the entire door perimeter.
We also design and extrude magnetic gaskets that make doors easier to close and help maintain consistent contact between the door and the refrigerator cabinet, reducing cold-air loss. This is essential to maintaining a stable internal temperature, helping preserve food under optimal conditions while also reducing food waste.
Optimised for Hygiene & Efficiency
In professional refrigeration, every component plays a role in the correct functioning of the overall system. Gaskets, profiles, hoses and other seemingly minor parts can have a real impact on the equipment’s efficiency, reliability and service life.
Hygiene is just as important. For food-related applications, we carefully test and select materials certified for contact with food or drinking water. We also develop antibacterial and easy-to-clean components geometries and select materials that withstand commonly used detergents, helping make cleaning and maintenance simple, faster and more effective.
Given the demanding conditions in which professional refrigeration equipment operates, as well as the strict requirements it must meet, we do not simply offer standard components. Our co-design approach enables us to work directly with our customers to develop solutions tailored to the specific features, requirements, and performance needs of each appliance.
Delivering high-performing appliances is not enough. Michelin-starred restaurants, supermarkets, and bars rely heavily on their refrigeration equipment, making it essential to use high-performing and reliable components that ensure consistent operation over time.
ILPEA is the partner you are looking for to help ensure maximum efficiency in storing, chilling, and freezing applications.
