New Caney, TX – To be dated: Industrial cooling systems are most often associated with the food and drink processing, pharmaceutical, and cold storage industries. They take all the heat from a low-temperature environment and transfer or expel it into a high-temperature environment.

Many components contribute to keeping a cold storage system functional, but gasketing is perhaps the most important one of all. It functions as a mechanical seal between the closed door of a cooling system and its frame, insulating it against the volatility of room temperature.

It just so happens that a mere handful of engineered solutions providers have been successful in coming up with effective and long-lasting gaskets for this application, with Robco of America topping the list.

When asked about their approach to tackling refrigeration gaskets and mechanical seals, a representative of the company said, “Commercial cooling systems work pretty much round the clock, and when one or more of their components start malfunctioning, the heat might just find its way in. This leads to the system going into overdrive and costing more in energy bills, and affecting product safety and efficiency. Why am I mentioning this? Because we crafted our gaskets around problems, such as ice buildup, ice melting, and an inability to maintain adequate temperature.”

The representative further went on to say that more often than not, worn-out gaskets and debris accumulation in the seal spring leads to the problems behind the system going into overdrive and prematurely wearing itself out. According to them, “We needed gasket materials that retained their adhesiveness in a subzero environment, so our team started to recommend EPDM, Neoprene®, Viton®, and Silicone to end-users. These materials not only hold well in low temperatures but also endure extreme weather conditions beyond the system, keeping perishables fresh and preventing chemicals from reacting to higher temperatures.”

Apart from designing and manufacturing cartridge and assembly seals, gaskets, and mechanical packings for agitators, bead meal, mixers, and pumps, the company boasts a decent repair service for its clients around the world.
