Sanitary Cam and Groove Sock Screen GasketsCam and Groove Perforated Sock Gaskets - EPDM

EPDM Perforated Sock Cam and Groove Gaskets are manufactured with a 22 Gauge 316L Stainless Steel Perforated Sock that has been flow trapped into the gasket body. The benefits of the Sock Screen versus traditional flat screen gaskets include: 300% more open area, greater flow under heavy particulate, less servicing, and reduced downtime. Use these fluid filtration gaskets for bulk transfers, tanker truck transfers, pump protection, fluid conditioning, flavor infusion, and much more.

With a stringent ASME-BPE design, these filtration gaskets can be utilized for particulate removal in a number or processes and industries. Whether being used as a pre-filter for expensive membrane filters, or straining particulate in fill and finish products, these sanitary gaskets can save you from equipment wear and product contamination.

EPDM gaskets are specified by many process equipment manufacturers and are generally suitable for these applications, however service life must be considered and a preventative maintenance program must be in place to mitigate degradation. EPDM Gaskets are generally only suitable for low pressure steam between -30°F and 300°F. EPDM is a good choice of gasket when an economical solution for weather and chemical resistant seals is desired. Chemically, EPDM has good resistance to animal oils, vegetable oils, ozone, strong chemicals, and oxidizing chemicals. Do not use EPDM gaskets for mineral oils, solvents, or aromatic hydrocarbons.
