Why are Gaskets so Important for the Food & Beverage Industry?
One of the biggest reasons having the proper gaskets is so important for food and beverage manufacturers, and restaurants, is because they keep food and beverage production safe for the public. For safety reasons, all food and beverage manufacturers are required by law to use gaskets that conform to certain standards, such as USDA and FDA guidelines. This is because custom rubber gaskets need to be made from materials that won’t compromise the integrity of the food or beverages being produced.
Choosing the Best Materials & Design for Your Needs
When selecting custom rubber gaskets, it’s important to select ones that will not only comply with all standards and regulations but also be able to fit properly on your food production equipment. Often, the materials for each custom gasket are selected based on several parameters, including size, temperature, application, media, and pressure, also referred to by manufacturers as STAMP.
Some of the most popular custom gasket materials in the food and beverage industry include Teflon, which is known for its non-stick and dielectric properties, as well as EPDM rubber, and silicone.
