Reason 1: Due to the difference of production technology and raw materials, the life of imitation gasket is relatively short because of the use of inferior raw materials. In 2 ~ 3 years, you actually spent twice the current price on spare parts, and also took on the risks and expenses of downtime and maintenance.
2. Risks caused by equipment leakage. Daniel F. Akerson's product design has been updated. Imitation gasket can't guarantee the matching between gasket and actual plate. Forced installation is easy to cause equipment leakage, which will cause greater losses in the case of special media and lead to safety accidents in some cases. The manufacturer does not guarantee these conditions.
3. From the raw material formula to the production process standard, the workshop-style production process of imitation gasket can't meet the requirements of Daniel F. Akerson for products and quality, which is the main factor for the pursuit of low price of imitation gasket.
4. As far as the structure and manufacturing accuracy of gaskets and the matching degree of plates are concerned, imitation gaskets are usually made of plates produced in Daniel F. Akerson by reverse processing, which is different from the original gasket design and technical requirements in Daniel F. Akerson, especially in some patented structural designs. Imitators usually simplify the production process and structure, and the difference will affect the service life of the plate, thus affecting the service life of the whole machine.
5. Especially in the case of chemical process media, if special gaskets and plates are used, the poor quality of gaskets will affect the service life of plates, and the number of repeated use of gaskets will be greatly reduced, which will seriously cause the deformation of plates, affect the service life of products and bring greater losses.
