Our 10-step process for installing new gaskets equals a first-class result. First, we inspect the equipment before removing the old gasket and cleaning the plates. This is followed by a dye test and second inspection, removal of the dye residue, cleaning of the gasket groove and final plate inspections. The new plates are then fitted and quality checked.
