Flexidram Gaskets

Optimised Sealing Solutions for Distilleries

Flexidram gaskets are sealing solutions trusted by leading alcohol manufacturers for over a decade. They have been designed for applications in the distillation of flammable spirit liquors such as whisky and brandy, where there is a requirement for a clean, non-contaminating, fire-safe seal. Created by Flexitallic, they are the only FDA-compliant, TA Luft-approved, fire-safe gasket capable of sealing effectively using the low bolt stress available with stainless steel flanges.

The serrated Kammprofile core provides a tighter seal and significantly reduces creep and relaxation when compared to lower-grade PTFE or rubber/fibre gaskets. Graphite offers a fire-safe seal, while the food-safe PTFE inner ring guards against contamination and prevents product tainting.

Flexidram gaskets have a wide range of properties, vital to the alcohol beverage production sector, including:

  • Increased pipeline integrity
  • Decreased emissions
  • Fire-Safe to API 6FB
  • FDA-compliant design
  • Contamination free

Flexidram FAQ

What are Flexidram gaskets used for?

Flexidram gaskets are hygienic sealing rings designed specifically for stainless steel drum and vessel couplings used throughout breweries, distilleries, wineries and beverage production facilities. They create a reliable seal between mating surfaces, helping to prevent product loss, contamination and air ingress during the transfer and storage of liquids. Selecting the correct gasket material is essential to maintain hygiene, process efficiency and long service life.

How often should Flexidram gaskets be replaced?

Flexidram gaskets should be inspected as part of routine maintenance and replaced whenever they show signs of wear, compression set, cracking, swelling or damage. The replacement interval depends on factors such as cleaning frequency, process temperatures, chemical exposure and production schedules. Proactive replacement helps maintain hygienic sealing performance, reduces the risk of leaks and supports compliance with food and beverage manufacturing standards.

Why is the correct Flexidram gasket size important?

Flexidram gaskets are manufactured to precise dimensions to ensure correct compression within the coupling. An incorrectly sized gasket can lead to uneven loading, leaks, premature wear or damage to the clamp and mating surfaces. Using the correct profile and material ensures a consistent hygienic seal, maintains process integrity and helps prevent product loss during brewing, distilling and beverage production. Dobson Gaskets supplies precision-manufactured Flexidram gaskets to ensure reliable fit and sealing performance across a wide range of applications.
