Overview

Experiencing downtime at a manufacturing facility is not only frustrating, but an easy way to quickly lose thousands of dollars in a short amount of time. When a large chemical manufacturer was experiencing downtime due to issues with a custom sized, vulcanized O-ring breaking under pressure at the splice, they contacted the team at Expert Gasket & Seal to find a long-term solution.

Solution

After inspecting the defective O-ring, Expert Gasket & Seal provided the chemical manufacturer with a solid, fully molded O-ring that eliminated the joint or splice where the failure was occurring. The O-ring required a custom mold and tooling, so Expert Gasket & Seal worked with an offshore partner to keep tooling costs to a minimum and allow the manufacturer to achieve ROI much sooner.

Results

With the failure identified, the centrifuge could run consistently with no outage, saving 8-10 hours of production downtime for the chemical manufacturer.
