Standards are imperative for consistency across all sectors. Especially with products designed for human consumption, all the required guidelines and certifications must be meticulously followed. Many types of industrial materials are suitable for sealing oil, gas, mines and other particularly aggressive media, but they would not be suitable for the food or beverage processing industries.
Our production and quality processes are independently controlled by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). We are ISO 9001: 2015 certified which covers the quality management system for the production of seals and seal kits for hydraulic, pneumatic, rotary and static applications. We constantly focus on improving customer experience, with a goal of providing the best service & product on the market, with an eye always open to continuous improvement and sustainability.
Chesterton Customseal complies with the highest national and international regulatory standards, including:
Material certification is provided upon request.
Chesterton Customseal has introduced a range of metal detectable (MDx) elastomeric materials. Using metal detectable materials provides increased
flexibility to produce elastomer sealing components to the food and beverage industry using best practice requirements. The metal detectable material assists in reducing the risk of contaminating the products being processed.
Utilising metal detectable products provides assurance to food, dairy and beverage manufacturers by protecting product safety and integrity.
These innovative solutions have been intended to offer companies in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and other contamination-sensitive industries,
the peace of mind at any stage of the production.
Chesterton Customseal supplies a range of metal detectable materials:
All these materials are specifically designed to meet the needs of the food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical industries.
The sugar industry presents a harsh production environment. The tough sugar-making process places high demands on equipment, making it imperative to have the right seals and lubricant in place that can withstand the 24/7 pressures.
Some of the many challenges include:
Chesterton 20K Duoseal is a continuous, bi-directional compression seal with dual independent sealing points. The robust, durable, dual-lip profile was specifically designed for single groove cavities in heavy-duty, high-pressure hydraulic applications. With a unique manufacturing process, this can be made to any size.

Chesterton Spring Energised Seals
Elliptical coil spring-energized seals are commonly used in rotary, reciprocating, and static applications where hardware tolerances are relatively large or a miniature seal is required. Elliptical coil spring designs allow for minimal deflection while applying intermediate loads.
Read moreSealing products in the food industry is not merely a matter of regulatory compliance. A unique set of specifications and technical requirements must be addressed.
First of all, safety and hygiene. Any bypasses taken in choosing sealing products, and seal suppliers could potentially put consumers and your operation at risk.
Chesterton Customseal ensures that the seals are compliant and used in the correct way to significantly reduce the risks listed above. All this contributes to ensuring the safety and longevity of the products in the food and beverage production and the safety of the final consumer.
