Gaskets, Seals, Joints, Washers & Insulation
The process of gasket, seal and washer production is steeped in history and for decades business has sought to improve quality, repeatability and the efficiency of production.
Avon Group have embraced this concept and continued the investment culminating in our manufacturing plants in Bristol, Corsham, Cannock and the Czech Republic.
High speed CNC travelling head presses (large shapes)
These machines are able to produce shapes straight from sheet or rolls. Using this technology we can maximise material by rotating the heads 360 degrees with multicavities and typically produce thousands per hour dependent on our clients particular requirements.
Small washers to tight tolerances
We have a series of high speed die cutting machines dedicated to the production of high tolerance volume washers. Typical runs of hundreds of thousands produced using precision steel die tools. We produce 100 million washers a week.
Oscillating knife cutter
The very latest cutting without the need for tooling. Using CAD we are able to optimise any shape and or design requirement for you. This process is innovative, fast and accurate and can be used for a range of materials from sponge rubbers to fibres and insulations.
Automated Packaging
Kits of seals and gaskets are fed into our high speed automated bagging machines. This enables us to pack a wide range of products bar-coded straight into cartons.
Fabrication & Assembly
Our reputation for kit packages and fabricated assemblies has earnt us some prestigious accolades. Our clients rely on us to assemble and package a variety of products in various guises for direct international shipment.
Our capability to produce high volume washers and gaskets is renowned throughout our industry. Through using our continuous investment programme we have established the capability of producing a standard range of washers for the aftermarket whilst working closely with original equipment manufacturers designing new innovative products.
At Avon, quality of service as well as product enables us to provide economical long life solutions allied to technical expertise for all above ground and below ground applications. Our clients which include major names in power generation, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food and drink processing have come to rely on our expertise and customer service, typically getting our gaskets on site within 48 hours.
Our range of heat containment products are designed and manufactured to offer complete solutions to your insulation needs.
Drawing on many years of processing technology and utilising our unique cutting facility we are able to shape insulations to within 0.1mm whilst preserving the sensitive structure of body soluble fibres.
We have the ability to offer low and high volume production runs.
By working closely with research and development departments we can offer Pre-production samples that can be instantly modified.
Our technology allows us to receive electronic data and Process new ideas within minutes.
As a leading supplier of gaskets to world renowned Air system manufacturers, we pride ourselves on a full range of gaskets and seals from high pressure cylinder head joints to oil seals and shimms.
We recognise the necessity of traceable branded products capable of withstanding the most arduous of applications. Water cutting enables us to provide repeatable cut quality, time after time to exacting standards often within 0.1mm without concerns over tool wear and the inherent costs of tool replacement.
Amongst our many disciplines we design economic solutions to sealing requirements and custom manufacture prototypes working closely with clients until the desired seal has been achieved.
Our software and cutting equipment enables us to ‘nest’ a variety of customer’s gaskets, in one process fully utilising material.
Line feed with bespoke packaging re-affirms our ‘World Class Manufacturing’ status. This has earned us the opportunity to work along side prestigious, renowned Aviation, Marine and Automotive clients where batch traceability and clean quality driven production environments are paramount.
