Aseptic couplings increasingly used in the cosmetics industry.
19 augustus 2025
The cosmetics industry is placing ever higher demands on safety, hygiene and reliability. Not only the composition of creams and serums, but also the production processes must comply with strict standards. Increasingly, aseptic couplings such as DIN 11864 are chosen, guaranteeing maximum cleanability, process reliability and product safety in the production of high-quality skincare products.
Hygienic and aseptic couplings increasingly important in the cosmetics industry
Rodesta now also supplies skincare manufacturers – DIN 11864 as a reliable standard for hygienic and aseptic processes. The cosmetics industry is evolving rapidly. While the focus once lay on fragrance, texture, and packaging, today’s priorities include product safety, consistency, and traceability. As a result, the technical design of the production process is becoming increasingly important. Manufacturers of serums, creams, lotions, and other skincare products are setting higher requirements for their equipment – comparable to standards in the pharmaceutical industry. At Rodesta, we see this trend reflected in a growing demand for hygienic and aseptic components, including DIN 11864 couplings. Especially in the segment of high-quality and natural skincare – such as dermo cosmetics and cosmeceuticals – there is a rising need for controlled process environments that minimize the risk of contamination.
Hygienic or aseptic? Both matter in modern cosmetics
In most cosmetics production lines, hygienic design is standard: smooth internal surfaces, dead space-free connections, and CIP or SIP cleanability. However, in applications involving active ingredients, serums, or clean-label products, aseptic processing techniques are becoming more common – such as cleanrooms, sterile filling, and sterile transfer of sensitive product streams. In precisely these scenarios, the advantages of the DIN 11864 series truly come into their own.
Why choose DIN 11864 for cosmetics manufacturing?
Originally developed for aseptic processes in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, the DIN 11864 series is also ideally suited for cosmetics production environments with high hygiene and sterility requirements. Key benefits include:
• Dead space-free design to prevent product residue build-up
• CIP/SIP cleaning without the need for disassembly
• Aseptic sealing thanks to precise machining and O-rings made from FDA- and USP Class VI-compliant materials
• Compatible with vacuum and high-pressure systems, ideal for sensitive or sterile product flows
These features make DIN 11864 a trusted choice for manufacturers seeking both hygienic operation and the ability to scale up to aseptic production.
Rodesta supports your process – every step of the way
At Rodesta, we believe the right coupling makes all the difference – not only in reliability but also in cleanability and maintenance efficiency. We advise clients across the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries in designing safe, efficient, and future-ready hose and pipe systems. Recently, we supplied complete DIN 11864 coupling sets to a manufacturer of natural skincare products. This client made the switch from standard hygienic couplings to an aseptic solution to meet stricter quality standards and international export regulations.
