Smart Gasket
Rubber Fab's Smart Gasket's* value is proven when validating sterility in a high-purity pharmaceutical system. Your standard sanitary flange utilizing the Smart Gasket" is used to obtain the critical thermal mapping information you need during the validation process.
Smart Gasket* easily installs between two sanitary standard flanges using the Rubber Fab sanitary Smart Clamp to secure the flanges. Our clamp provides up to four internal ports for accepting the Smart Gasket* thermocouple samples or accessories; i.e. ACC-T or K-199-S-Shorl Temperature Probe; ACC-T or K-199A-L-Long Temperature Probe.
Choose between Rubber Fab’s Thermocouple Gasket or select the Smart Gasket1 Spore Trap to securely retain spore challenge test strips. There is also a sampler device available that utilizes standard luer lock fittings. Meter fluids in your process system utilizing a peristaltic pump or withdraw sam pies utilizing our luer lock sampler and luer lock valve or syringe.
Smart Gasket* with Smart Clamp is available in 1/2", 3/4", 1". 1-1/2", 2", 3" and 4" sizes and fits standard Tri-Clover™, Top Line™, Waukesha™ and G&H™ sanitary flanges. Choose between USDA, FDA grade FPDM, platinum- cured silicone, FKM and other elastomers (consult factory for larger sizes).
Rubber Fab Mold & Gasket’s Fluid Conditioning Program
Rubber Fab once again offers a gasket program for your consideration and employment. For the first time, you can choose the USP Class VI elastomer of your choice and in a variety of mesh sizes. 20 micron through 4 mesh, which are all normally available for shipment on the day of order. We hope after you have reviewed the Rubber Fab Technologies Groups Fluid Conditioning Program, you will once again discover the Rubber Fab difference.
Presenting Rubber Fab's Perfect Surface Gasket System. The perfect union of Torque- Rite and the Perfect Surface® Gasket.
Torque-Rite allows you to control compression and expansion while maintaining constant inch/pounds force insuring a Perfect Surface ID when used with a Perfect Surface Gasket. Torque-Rile eliminate the problems associated with over- or under-tightening a gasket which can lead to an unsanitary system.
Compression control is easy!
When tightened, the Torque-Rite's self-limiting internal mechanism will make an audible "click" signaling the user they have reached proper inch/pounds force. If further tightening is attempted, there will be more "click" but no additional application of force on the gasket (if emergency conditions arise, the Torque-Rite has a built-in manual override feature.
Problems with over-tightening or under-tightening a gasket:
Over-tightening can tear or damage a gasket and can also cause a damming effect inside the pipeline. A torn or extruded gasket can hold soil and bacteria. Under- tightening leaves an undesirable concave area at the gasket allowing soil and bacteria to become entrapped. Both conditions should be avoided in a sanitary system.
Maintaining a "Perfect Surface" Sanitary System.
By maintaining a constant force on a Perfect Surface Gasket with the Torque-Rite, gasket I.D. is maintained lowering bacteria count and enhancing product integrity. A Perfect Surface sanitary system is assured.
NOTE:
All elastomeric gaskets require periodic replacement. Gasket life is influenced by the gasket material, product application, temperature, cleaning procedures, etc. After monitoring gasket condition in a process system, a schedule should be developed for periodic replacement of gaskets.
Introducing a Technologically Advanced New Gasket
TUF-FLEX, the revolutionary new gasket from Rubber Fab Technologies Group, is the world's only unitized gasket, setting new standards for purity, performance and flexibility. Designed to meet critical requirements in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, ultra-pure water, WFI (waier-for-iujection) and difficult food and beverage processing, TUF-FLEX outperforms other gaskets while eliminating costly process interruptions.
Achieve higher performance under SIP/CIP Conditions
Select TUF STEEL for Outstanding Durability
TUF-STEEL easily outperforms standard solid PTFE and PTFE envelope gaskets even hi the most demanding SIP pharmaceutical applications. In fact, TUF-STEEL lasts a minimum of five times longer in most applications!
Cut Costly Downtime
TUF-STEEL is ideal for sanitary steam pipe connections in extreme temperatures ranging from -20ºF to 450ºF. The superior strength of TUF-STEEL eliminates cold flow creep to prevent maintenance problems and system downtime. With selection for virtually any SIP application. TUF-STEEL gaskets are available in a variety of sanitary standard sizes from 1/2" to 12" diameter.
What’s more, TUF-STEEL works with die Torque-Rile® Perfect Surface Gasket System, eliminating the potential for bacterial entrapment caused by over-tightening or under-tightening.
PTFE and Stainless Steel Deliver Leak-Proof Performance
Composed of a unique 50/50 blend of non-pigmented PTFE and 316L Passivated Stainless Steel®. TUF-STEEL is the choice for leak-proof performance and outstanding durability in steam applications.
TUF-STEEL Offers Rugged Composition for Demanding Steam Environments
Protect Critical Instrumentation
The TUF-STEEL Gauge Guard Isolator gasket protects expensive instruments from damage without affecting instrument performance. By combining a TUF-STEEL gasket with a 5-mil PTFE film, the TUF-STEEL Gauge Guard Isolator gasket isolates hot or caustic saline solution from instrumentation. It makes good sense because failure to use a gauge guard gasket can void most instrument and gauge warranties.
All the Benefits of TUF-STEEL in a Diaphragm Gasket
Rubber Fab Technologies Group has successfully met our customer’s goals with quality products that meet the highest sanitary standards and purity criteria. Our hygienic seals have provided superior surface finish and elastomer purity for use in production facilities of fine pharmaceutical, biotechnology, high-purity water, injectables, food and beverage products. In fact, Rubber Fab has made much significant advancement in gasket materials and manufacturing over the past few years and has recently applied this knowledge to the production of our Component Parts for pumps, valves, fillers and system equipment.
Rubber Fab has made the same commitment to purity and excellence in the manufacturing of our Component Parts as we have our line of hygienic seals. Like our other products, our component parts are color coded for material identification and come with lot and batch numbers that provided traceability at all times.
If it’s valve stems and balls, centrifugal pump parts and kits or filler parts, you can be assured of our continuous commitment for a superior product. Rubber Fab Technologies Group will meet your requirements and your expectations.
Valve Stems and Balls:
Rubber Fab is proud lo introduce a new product that enables the use of a self contained biological Indicator In sanitary process lines. This unique Rubber Fab Smart Gasket® permits either Lop loading or Inline positioning of an IZTest® self contained biological indicator and/or a temperature probe.
The great advantage of a self contained biological Indicator over the traditional spore strip in glassine is the time saved when confirming spore kill. Results are easily obtained in only 48 hours (versus the five to seven days required with a spore strip) and without problematic laboratory transfer.
You can feel secure knowing that the biological Indicator will mil be lost down stream in the process. The tail-safe Rubber Fab Smart Gasket® holds the indicator in place for easy retrieval. Available for 3/4”, 1.0”, 1.5” and 2.0” Sanitary, Tri-Clamp process lines. The Biological Indicator Gasket is also available with one (1) Smart Gasket Thermocouple Port.
Meets High Pharmaceutical Standards
The Rubber Fab Gauge Guard Isolator gaskets protect expensive diaphragm and instruments from damage with out affecting instrument performance. By combining a quality Rubber Fab gasket with a membrane, the Gauge Guard Isolator gasket isolates hot or caustic saline solution from instrumentation. A necessary and cost effective step in assuring long life and accurate results from your instruments and gauges. As some manufacturers will suggest the use of a gauge guard gasket, others note thai the failure to use a gauge guard gasket can void most instrument and gauge warranties.
