Product Overview
Custom silicone rubber seal rings can be developed for a food-related joint with the required dimensions and section. EPDM is another material option in this gasket offering. The appropriate compound should be chosen for the actual contents and cleaning process rather than treating these materials as interchangeable.
Identify the surfaces the ring contacts and the temperatures encountered during use and care. The formulation needs to suit those conditions, while the groove or mating faces determine how the ring is supported. Inside size and section thickness should be matched to the assembly together.
Fit the ring without twisting it and check the full circumference before the joint closes. Keep particles out of the seat, including residue left behind after cleaning the exposed surfaces. During maintenance, examine hidden edges for damage or lasting deformation. Use the correct material and profile for replacement so that the intended food-contact interface is preserved. A similar-looking ring from another application should not be substituted solely because it fits around the same opening.
- Material options
- EPDM / Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Rubber: 30–90 Shore A. Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Select the silicone or EPDM grade with the food-equipment joint section and compression allowance defined; evaluate the finished contact in that assembly.
- Custom dimensions
- Inside size and section thickness should be matched to the assembly together.
- Fit & assembly
- Fit the ring without twisting it and check the full circumference before the joint closes.
- Use & inspection
- Keep particles out of the seat, including residue left behind after cleaning the exposed surfaces.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
