Dairy Gasket
What is a Dairy Gasket
A Dairy Gasket is a sanitary sealing component used to create leak-proof joints between piping components in hygienic systems. It’s placed between fittings like ferrules and dairy nuts to ensure a tight seal under varying temperature and pressure.
Dairy gaskets are vital in food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries where contamination-free processing is essential. Their flexibility and chemical resistance suit frequent CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) processes.
Asaid Steel Industries is a trusted Dairy Gasket supplier, offering durable and hygienically safe sealing solutions trusted by top dairy and food processing facilities.
