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.

Do you have questions?
What is the function of a Dairy Gasket?
A Dairy Gasket ensures a leak-proof seal between hygienic fittings in processing systems, preventing product loss and contamination.
Are Dairy Gaskets reusable?
Dairy gaskets can be reused a few times depending on the material and conditions but are often replaced regularly for hygiene and safety.
Which standards do Dairy Gaskets follow?
They are manufactured as per DIN, SMS, ISO/IDF, and BS standards for global compatibility with sanitary union fittings.
Do Dairy Gaskets handle high temperatures?
Yes, depending on the elastomer (EPDM, Silicone, PTFE), they can withstand up to 200°C, making them ideal for CIP/SIP.
