ACF Gaskets (Custom Gasket Manufacturers)

Cut Gaskets

Cutting or stamping production methods can be a very cost effective way to manufacturer gaskets, spacers and washers from sheet material. Recent investment in press technology has made ACF Gaskets one of the most competitive gasket cutters in the UK. Our Gasket cutters can produce items from a wide range of rubber, sponges and corks, with short lead times and full lot traceability.

To ensure we supply you with precision gaskets, we use laser cut gasket tools. Due to the method of tooling manufacture, we are able to offer very rapid tool turnarounds at very competitive prices.

ACF Gaskets manufacture high temperature gaskets and seal in a range of Vitons® (DuPont Fluorocarbons) , Fluorosilicone materials and Heat Stabilised Silicones. Either these can be manufactured using gasket cutters or if you have a custom shape ‘O’ section seal, the gasket can be moulded to your requirements. This is a very popular option with engine and gearbox manufacturers who require O ring seals to follow a machined channel.
