Processing example of PTFE water service gaskets | Press processing for 150A flanges
■Overview of Processing Example Product Name: PTFE Gasket for Water Supply Dimensions: 3t Water Supply 150A FF Material: PTFE Processing Method: Press Processing This processing example involves the production of a PTFE gasket used for the flange part of water supply equipment. The product features a full-face shape compatible with a 150A flange, with bolt holes arranged evenly. Since it is used for water supply applications, PTFE, which has low impurity leaching and excellent chemical resistance, is employed as the material. As this was a project intended for mass production, press processing was selected to achieve both dimensional reproducibility and processing efficiency. As a result, stable dimensional accuracy is ensured while minimizing positional misalignment during assembly, achieving reliable sealing performance.

basic information
■Product Features (Material: PTFE) PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high-performance material with exceptional heat and chemical resistance. It withstands almost all acids, alkalis, and solvents, and has minimal leaching of impurities, making it widely used in industries that require contamination-free environments, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical plants. It also possesses non-stick and insulating properties, making it a highly reliable resin that maintains stable performance even in harsh conditions. ■Processing Method (Press Processing) The production of sheet gaskets using a press machine and Thomson die is an efficient processing method that balances high quality, short delivery times, and cost-effectiveness. Daiko has established a robust mass production system with large presses of 300t and 100t, as well as high-speed automatic machines. Additionally, by in-house designing and manufacturing of molds, we optimize mold selection and shorten processes, enabling us to respond promptly to urgent customer requests with a short delivery system.
