Steel Mill Seals Surpass Unprecedented Milestone
Challenge
To develop a new ultra long-lasting seal kit for roll-change systems in steel mills that survive years of harsh conditions.
Solution
Engineers developed custom machined seal kits, each with two rod seals, a piston seal, wipers, excluders and a static seal – all with PTFE compounds.
Result
The very first seals that were installed in the OEM’s first-generation equipment more than a decade ago are performing well to this day, and they show few signs of wear.
