Just-in-Time V-Packing

Challenge

A forging mill was leaking $10,000 worth of oil each month and needed new V-Packing that could be sized, produced and shipped all within a four-day maintenance window.

Solution

System Seals designed an adjustable V-Packing that eliminated the need to pre-measure the ram. It was shipped to the mill before the outage and reduced the lead time by weeks.

Result

The mill avoided a month long outage, saving $2.5 million in productivity and stopped the $10,000 monthly oil loss.
