LUBSEAL ELASTIC PACKING

DESIGN

The LubSeal design reflects three key elements: lubrication, an elastomer core and an outer fibre layer. LubSeal can be delivered with a square, round, oval, rectangular, trapeze or individual customer-defined profile.

We use different types of fibre depending on the relevant medium and operating conditions. All our fibres are of the best quality available in the market.

The elastomer used in LubSeal products is extruded TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Our elastomers are delivered with various levels of quality and hardness, depending on the application and customer requirement.

The packing contains a lubricant reservoir of either graphite or PTFE.

FEATURES/ADVANTAGES

LubSeal has a number of advantages over more traditional packings which help to stabilise operations and prolong operating life. The elastic core increases flexibility and adaptability, absorbs vibration and movement, and prevents leakages. The unique lubrication system reduces wear and tear, prolonging the operating life of both machinery and the seal itself. The outer fibre braiding is adapted to the customer’s specific application.

• Increased lifetime compared to conventional packings.
• LubSeal is pre-shrunk during production to minimise shrinkage during use.
• Considerably less adjustment and maintenance of the stuffing box required, as LubSeal maintains shape, stability and performance.
• Fewer shaft sleeve changes, due to minimal wear.
• Reduced or no consumption of lantern ring water thanks to lubrication component.
• Cleaner environment with reduced discharges of polluted water.
• No packing waste as with conventional braided packings. Ready to install.
• Energy savings thanks to reduced friction.
• LubSeal considerably reduces maintenance costs.

EXSEAL & ELECTRODESEAL PRESSURISED SEAL

It all started with the idea of designing a seal to neutralise large movements from rotating equipment. We wanted to create a packing that allows clients to optimise operating conditions easily to reduce wear and tear and achieve a longer operating life for other parts of an application/product. The result is ExSeal.

ElectrodeSeal is based on ExSeal, and designed specifically for installation around smelting-plant furnaces, to prevent dust and gas emission.

DESIGN

ExSeal’s design incorporates four main elements: outer layer, inner core, valve and pressurised liquid, gas or air. The outer wear-and-tear layer is manufactured from high-quality raw materials. The inner core is made of a high-quality TPE. The mounted valve (nipple) allows adjustment of the pressure level. ExSeal is available in a broad range of dimensions and profiles.

The ElectrodeSeal design is a further development of ExSeal, and is the largest seal in our product range. The outer layer comprises a protective Kevlar coating and an inner polymer core[m1] . Like ExSeal, a mounted valve (nipple) is used to adjust the pressure within the seal.

FEATURES/ADVANTAGES

Regulating seal pressure minimises the need for wear and tear inspections, and largely eliminates leakages. With a pressurised ExSeal or ElectrodeSeal, customers no longer have to replace packings after just a few weeks.

Our flexible solution provides better sealing and less leakage, benefiting both industry and the environment.

INDUSTRIES

ExSeal is used as a standard solution by world-leading companies in the maritime, oil and gas and water treatment industries. ExSeal has few limitations, and can also be used in other industries and applications.

ElectrodeSeal is a specialised seal for the smelter industry.

INPRO SEAL

Inpro/Seal keeps out external contamination and prevents lubricant leakage. It employs centrifugal force and grooves to transport water and steam back to the atmospheric side, keeping the medium in its chamber.

PROLONGS USEFUL LIFE

Thanks to its advantageous properties, Inpro/Seal more than doubles the useful life of rotating equipment. Inpro/Seal can be used in many different devices, including turbines, gear boxes, electrical engines, pumps and bearing blocks.

Subject to receipt of all relevant specifications, we can offer our clients products with a full operating life guarantee.

QUICK SEAL

Quick-Seal is manufactured from expanded, pure PTFE. During the manufacturing process, a porous fibre structure with strong lateral and longitudinal branches is created which renders the fibres highly resistant to longitudinal tension and cold flow. Quick-Seal is made from a highly pliable and workable material which allows the resulting gaskets to retain their form, even under compression.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Quick-Seal is appropriate for all uses other than melting of alkali metals and certain fluorine compounds. The product is imperishable and insensitive to UV radiation, and can be used at temperatures between -240° and +270° Celsius, pressures from vacuum up to 200 bar and pH-values from 0 to 14.
