Custom Victor Reinz AFM 34 Gaskets - Safe and Durable

Key Features of AFM 34

High Tensile Strength: AFM 34 provides excellent tensile strength and resistance to stress and shear, making it suitable for applications with high mechanical and thermal loads.

Temperature Resistance: The material is designed for continuous use at temperatures up to 250°C, withstanding peaks up to 400°C. For steam applications, it is suitable up to 200°C, and up to 220°C with a metal inner ring.

Pressure Resistance: AFM 34 can handle working pressures up to 150 bar, making it ideal for high-pressure applications.

Chemical Resistance: The material offers outstanding resistance to a wide range of media, including oils, solvents, fuels, refrigerants, liquid gases, and water-antifreeze mixtures. This versatility makes AFM 34 suitable for many industrial uses.

Physiological Safety: AFM 34 is free of harmful substances and color pigments, making it safe for use in the food and potable water industries.

Applications of AFM 34

Industrial Use: AFM 34 is ideal for flange connections, pumps, valves, and piping in industrial installations. It is also suitable for equipment with narrow sealing surfaces, such as gas and hot water units, solar collectors, and couplings.

Automotive Applications: The material is excellent for sealing connections in combustion engines exposed to high mechanical and thermal stress, such as oil filters, intake manifolds, and water and fuel pumps.

Marine Industry: With approval from Germanischer Lloyd, AFM 34 is also suitable for use in the marine industry.

Specific Industries: With approvals including DIN-DVGW, FDA compliance, WRAS, and BAM, AFM 34 is applicable in various sectors like the chemical industry and energy production.

Production Process and Delivery

Our custom AFM 34 gaskets are produced using advanced CNC-controlled waterjet cutting machines. This technology ensures precision and flexibility in cutting gaskets into any desired shape, provided you supply DXF/DWG files. The process is designed to deliver accurate and consistent products that meet your specific requirements.

Production Steps:

1. Design and Specification: The process begins with gathering exact specifications and design requirements from the customer. This includes analyzing technical drawings and preparing CAD files for the cutting process.
2. Material Preparation: The appropriate thickness and dimensions of AFM 34 sheets are selected based on application requirements. Sheets are available in thicknesses ranging from 0.3 mm to 5 mm, with tolerance variations meeting DIN 28091-1 standards.
3. CNC Water Cutting: Using CNC-controlled waterjet machines, the sheets are precisely cut according to CAD file specifications. This ensures high accuracy and minimizes material waste.
4. Quality Control: After cutting, the gaskets undergo rigorous quality checks to ensure they meet the required specifications and performance standards. Each product is tested for sealing properties, dimensions, and integrity.
5. Shipping and Delivery: The finished gaskets are carefully packaged and shipped to the customer. We ensure prompt and efficient delivery to keep your project on track.

Ordering Conditions

For all custom gaskets, a minimum order quantity of €50 excluding VAT applies. This condition helps us maintain the highest quality standards and ensures efficient production and delivery processes.

How to Customize Gaskets

Customizing gaskets involves precise specifications and a good understanding of application requirements. Here are some steps to help you make the right choices for your sealing needs:

1. Analyze the Requirements: Begin with a thorough analysis of the sealing application. What temperatures, pressures, and media will the gasket encounter? This information is crucial for selecting the right material.
2. Material Choice: Victor Reinz AFM 34 is an excellent choice for high pressure and temperature applications. Consider other options such as AFM 38 or AFM 39 for less demanding conditions.
3. Design Preparation: Use CAD software to create your gasket design. Ensure dimensions are accurate and designs are saved in DXF/DWG format for CNC cutting.
4. Prototyping and Testing: If possible, create a prototype to test fit and function. This helps identify any necessary adjustments before full-scale production.
5. Production: Once the design is approved, production begins with cutting gaskets from AFM 34 sheets. The CNC water cutting process ensures precision and quality.
6. Installation: After delivery, install the gaskets according to manufacturer specifications and perform a final check to ensure all seals are correctly placed and functioning as expected.

Alternative Formats and Materials

In addition to our standard products, we also offer alternative formats and materials, such as those from Klinger and Gambit, upon request. These materials can be customized according to your specific requirements, providing a wider range of applications and options suited to particular conditions.
