Custom Extrusions for the
Water Control Industry
ELBEX designs and manufactures custom rubber extrusions for the water control industry, including the engineering, plant construction, and equipment supply subsectors. Our rubber extrusions play a vital role in any application in the water industry in which a reliable barrier solution is needed. Our engineering team will work closely with you to figure out the right extrusion for your specific application, taking into consideration the various environmental factors that will affect the integrity and longevity of your extrusion product.
Unique Solutions for Water Treatment Plants
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) has created standards for drinking water and the systems that treat it. However, even with those standards in place, many municipal facilities don’t use NSF-61-approved materials when it comes to gaskets and other rubber extrusions. We’ve heard from many treatment facility operators that gaskets are often the last thing thought about, but the thing that can cause the most issues. We’ll help you select the right extrusion and material to ensure a lasting solution.
Here are a few examples of applications within the industry:
- Rubber gate seals for industrial water filtration systems
- Gaskets for drinking water treatment systems
- Diffuser membranes
Extruded Rubber Gaskets and Seals
Gaskets and seals are very general terms for any type of profile that is intended to fill a gap or void and create a barrier. Both gaskets and seals are commonly used for:
- Water resistance
- Air barriers
- Tight seals
- Vibration elimination
- Securing components
Gaskets and seals are often lumped together into the same category because they both provide a strong sealing force, but their functions are slightly different. Seals are used to connect and seal two moving parts, while gaskets are commonly used as static seals between two flat surfaces set in place. Materials used for either product vary, but are often dictated by the specific application and corresponding environmental and chemical exposure.
Extruded rubber gaskets and seals from ELBEX provide superior stability and protection compared to other types of expansion joints because of our team that’s dedicated to quality through the entire extrusion manufacturing process.
