Filter Seal means never having to say your sorry
Filter Seal® is a custom designed combination of elastomer and fabric that operates as both a seal and a filter in one device. Apple Rubber pioneered the Filter Seal® more than a decade ago and since then we have produced more than 10 million parts for numerous applications in various industries.
Now, those numbers continue to grow as more design engineers learn how Filter Seal® can be manufactured using more forgiving materials such as rubber, making them ideal for automatic assembly. Apple Rubber's choice of elastomers and filter materials result in a more flexible component, unlike rigid plastic seals which often break during the assembly process and cause delays on the assembly line.
Advantages of Filter Seal®
- Custom designs - Filter Seal® is designed to meet your unique specifications.
- Multi-functional - Simplifies your component allowing it to seal and filter with one part instead of two, three or more.
- Cost- and time-savings - Only one part to purchase and install.
- Fast turnaround - With AS-568B standard O-rings and available fabrics, we can quickly manufacture a seal for you.
- Unlimited applications - Apple Rubber can design Filter Seal® in virtually any shape, is many sizes for industries from automotive to food grade applications.
