Additional information

    Suggested replacement schedule? How many hours before replacing?
  1. Q Suggested replacement schedule? How many hours before replacing?
    A

    The frequency of replacing sanitary gaskets depends on several factors including the application, type of gasket material, operating conditions (temperature, pressure, cleaning regimen), and industry standards.  However, here are general guidelines:

    Industry Replacement Interval
    Food & Beverage Every 6 to 12 months (more frequently with harsh CIP/SIP)
    Pharmaceutical/Biotech Every 3 to 6 months or per batch if validated
    Dairy Every 3 months (FDA often recommends quarterly replacement)
    Brewing Every 6 to 12 months, or as part of routine maintenance
    Chemical Depends on chemical compatibility—could be monthly or longer

  4. Q Do you offer the 2" screens in a smaller mesh size? Thanks , Frank
    A Hi, Frank. We just added two more mesh screen gaskets for 2" and other sizes for BUNA material. The mesh sizes added were 60# and 100#. Please let me know if you need any other varieties and I can send you a quote.
