Whether you need standard commercial grade gaskets or gaskets that comply with FDA or ASTM standards, our expert team can assist you in choosing the right rubber for your needs.
Once we identify what rubber to use, we employ a variety of cutting and forming techniques to produce the gasket. The methods we use include:
Hand cutting operations are generally used to make prototypes to test out different gasket designs and produce production-quality gaskets for use in less critical applications. Equipped with years of gasket cutting experience, our craftsman can create specialized items for highly unique applications, as well as bond rubber and other materials to metal, fabricate sleeves, and process difficult-to-cut gasketing materials.
Die cutting operations enable us to produce gaskets that are custom-tailored to a specific application. Using a wide range of gasket cutting equipment, we manufacture small to large quantities of gaskets to exact specifications.
Strip cutting operations involve cutting rubber and other materials from sheet or roll goods into sizes based on the customer specifications. We employ a zinc strip cutting table to process a broad selection of materials, including rubber, non-asbestos, neoprene sponge, silicone sponge, Poron, Viton®, vegetable fiber, and more.
Molding and extrusion operations allow us to produce custom precision gaskets in high volumes. The process is ideal for critical applications that require unique rubber extrusions and rubber molded parts.
Rubber gaskets find use in a wide range of industrial applications, including in the following equipment:
Alternative energy systems
Electrical motors, power generators, and transformers
Electronics and instrumentation
Lighting Equipment
Medical devices
Portable electronic devices
Pumps
Telecommunications systems
Transportation and automotive systems
Rubber gaskets are employed by industry professionals in parts and products ranging from consumer goods to industrial fluid systems. They are available in numerous variations, differing in regard to size, shape, material, and mode of manufacture, which makes choosing the right one for an application difficult.
