Gaskets and rubber seals are critical components of industrial manufacturing, as they are necessary for operating the machinery and production processes that maintain high throughput and minimize production downtime. Even the slightest deviation can lead to significant issues in performance and safety, which ultimately leads to higher costs at your facility. At Expert Gasket & Seal, our decades of experience combined with the quality materials we use and state-of-the-art technology, ensures that our prototyping has the highest level of precision. Learn more about why precision matters in prototyping and how we make it possible.

Proper Fit Means Proper Function

The primary role of gaskets is to form a seal that prevents leaks and maintains pressure between surfaces. Rubber seals are applied in pumps, valves and other components, and ensure stability under intense pressure by acting as vibration dampeners, insulators or protective coverings. Precision ensures that a prototype aligns perfectly with the intended application, reducing the need for costly reworks.

Improved Performance, Lower Costs

When gaskets and rubber seals are precisely designed to meet the needs of a particular system, they run more efficiently and require less maintenance. Additionally, when high-quality materials are used for prototyped parts, it allows them to more effectively withstand high temperatures, corrosive substances or the intense pressure that comes with specific environments.

The Expert Gasket & Seal Difference

Materials Used:

At Expert Gasket & Seal, we provide quality molded rubber parts from multiple compounds, including:

• Silicone,
• Viton^®
• EPDM
• Nitrile
• Neoprene

We also have FDA-compliant compounds available for food contact applications.

Advanced Technology:

We are proud to utilize optical scanning technology for our prototyped gaskets, seals and rubber parts. This technology is able to create highly accurate 3D representations of physical objects, then utilize lasers to create a detailed digital model of the object being scanned. Check out these great benefits:

• Precision: Optical scanning technology offers unparalleled precision, capturing even the smallest details of gaskets and rubber parts.
• Time Efficiency: Optical scanning eliminates manual measurements and tedious trial-and-error processes, reducing the time required to create an accurate replica.
• Replicate Parts That Have No Tooling, Drawings, or Files: Optical scanning measures the size without needing CAD or other design files.
• Cost Savings: Optical scanning saves money by minimizing errors and reducing the need for multiple iterations.

We are confident that our expertise, quality materials, technology and focus on precision can provide your company with gaskets and rubbers seals that will improve operations at your facility. Contact us today to learn more about our prototyping process!
