At Dobson Gaskets, we supply precision-engineered gaskets and sealing products for every stage of alcohol beverage production, from fermentation and distillation to bottling and packaging. With decades of experience in hygienic and industrial process environments, we understand the regulatory, thermal and chemical challenges unique to the alcoholic beverage industry.
Our gaskets are designed to support sanitary performance, minimise contamination risk, and ensure long-term reliability in high-moisture, high-pressure, and high-temperature environments. We work with breweries, distilleries, cider makers, and alcohol bottling facilities throughout the UK to deliver durable sealing solutions that meet both food safety and production efficiency requirements.
Choosing the correct gasket material is essential to ensure compliance with food-grade standards, resist alcohol-based solvents, and withstand thermal cycling in processing equipment.
Used in pipe joints and vessel seals in fermentation and storage tanks, CIP (Clean-in-Place) system components, pumps and valves.
Commonly used for distillation column gaskets, seals in filtration systems and heat exchangers, and high-purity piping systems.
Ideal for use for seals in bottling and packaging lines, high-temperature sterilisation equipment and tank lid gaskets.
Applications include alcohol transfer systems and pipework, pump seals and coupling gaskets, and general-purpose food and beverage lines.
Primarily used for general utility services in production environments, as well as steam boiler systems and mechanical flange seals.
Used in any process where foreign body detection is critical, such as bottling lines, mixers, blenders and automated filling equipment.
Flexidram gaskets are engineered for critical sealing applications in the distillation of flammable spirit-based products, including whisky and brandy. Manufactured by Flexitallic, they are the only gasket solution that combines FDA compliance, TA Luft fugitive emissions approval, and certified fire-safe performance.
Flexidram is specifically formulated to deliver reliable sealing under the low bolt stress conditions typically associated with stainless steel flanged joints, making it a proven choice for high-integrity, hygienic, and fire-critical environments like distilleries.
