Hygienic Rubber Parts for Pharma, Medical & Food Industries
Precision-moulded seals, gaskets, diaphragms and tubing
In pharmaceutical plants, hospitals' equipment lines and food-processing units, a seal is never just a seal. It stands between the product and contamination.
Bombay Rubber & Carbon Works designs and manufactures moulded rubber components built for sanitary service, with smooth surfaces, tight tolerances and materials chosen to resist cleaning chemicals, steam and repeated sterilisation.
Whether you need a standard catalogue size or a part made to your drawing or sample, our team works with you from material selection through to batch supply.
Product Range
- Tri-Clamp Gaskets: Sanitary flange seals for process piping, in silicone, EPDM and PTFE-faced options.
- Quick-Coupling Seals: Camlock-type and hose-coupling gaskets for fluid and powder transfer lines.
- Diaphragms & Valve Seals: Flexible, fatigue-resistant diaphragms for pumps, dosing units and sanitary valves.
- Silicone & Anti-Static Tubing: Smooth-bore tubing for transfer of liquids and powders; anti-static grades available.
- Metal-Detectable Parts: Seals that can be picked up by in-line metal detectors, a safeguard for food lines.
- Custom Moulded Parts: Made to your drawing, sample or application brief, from prototype to production.
Material Guide
| Material | Best suited for | Typical strengths |
|---|---|---|
| Silicone (VMQ) | Pharma, medical, dairy, beverages | Wide temperature range, clean and flexible |
| EPDM | Steam, hot water, CIP cleaning | Excellent steam and chemical resistance |
| Nitrile (NBR) | Oils and fats in food processing | Good oil and abrasion resistance |
| Fluoroelastomer (FKM) | Aggressive solvents and chemicals | High heat and chemical resistance |
| PTFE/FEP encapsulated | Highly corrosive or sticky media | Near-universal chemical resistance |
Final material choice depends on your media, temperature, pressure and cleaning method. Our team will help you confirm the right grade.
