Custom sealing washers announced for manufacturers

They are also pleased to advise on specification of custom sealing solutions for threaded fasteners to suit all types of industrial applications.

Specialist sealing of fasteners such as bolts and machine screws can be achieved with Dubo ring technology or with options such as Dowty washers. Where a more traditional method is required then washers in EPDM are often supplied – other options include NBR, fibre, nylon or neoprene.

For more extreme environments where greater resistance to heat, oils and solvents is required more exotic materials such as FPM/FKM (e.g.Viton) can be offered.

Supply models for manufacturers in production situations include Kanban, Line-Side Supply, Vendor Managed and JIT systems, providing peace of mind to suit high and low tech’ products.

The Challenge Europe supply program covers advisory ‘hand-holding’ where required from design to finished product in metric or imperial sizes and an extensive range of materials with each project sourced and stocked for optimal production.
