cutting plain section gaskets
p o w e r f u l p e r f o r m a n c e f o r h i g h q u a n t i t y o u t p u t
Plain section gaskets are frequently to be found in many objects of daily use. Water
taps, spray cans, infusion bottles or oil filters in motor cars – all these would be unusable
without a properly functioning plain section gasket.
Plain section gaskets can only fulfill their purpose when the surfaces are cut completely evenly and
homogenously. At the same time, these gaskets are also a mass-production article that must be
available at a very low unit price. For these reasons, they must be produced on high-performance
machines with high output capacity. Virtually all plain section gaskets have a diameter that is
considerably larger than the length, so that specialised cutting procedures are necessary for defectfree
production. With our impressive experience in this field, we offer you three different cutting
processes:
• Parting-off cut or cutting on support mandrels
• Circular knife cut
• Draw cut or thin blade cut
The feature that these three processes have in common is a precise cut at different cutting rates
and price levels.
