Industry General Industry
Material Used FVMQ Fluorosilicone
Seal Type Mesh-Rubber Seal, Filter seal
Problem solved Fulfillment

The Situation

Our customer was experiencing high scrap cost from complex 3 pc BOM sub-assembly of a small-sized seal & mesh stack.  Errors in the unit were not detectable until final system assembly test.  This small subassembly represented a very high pain point for the customer’s build.

 

The Ask

Mold thru to combine mesh element with D profile seal.

 

The Solution

Darcoid reached out to our broad network of specialty manufacturing partners.  Extensive expertise was required to overmold the low melt-point mesh element with an elastomer compound offering suitable compression set properties.

 

The Success

A 13% final test scrap rate reduction of the finished product plus a 1min 45 sec takt time reduction
