New Seal Technology Improves Last-Century Forging Presses

Challenge

To increase abrasion resistance, lip compliance and reliability for damaged and worn forging presses that quickly destroyed all rubber V-packing seal sets.

Solution

System Seals created a new combination of V-packing that includes polyurethane bands and a polymides header to work in conjunction with traditional rubber and fabric seals.

Result

Abrasion resistance and lip compliance that doubles the life of traditional rubber sets, providing forging companies with millions of dollars per year in gained productivity.
