FTL Seals Technology product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Sep 18, 2006
Seals in virtually any profile in diameters up to 4m can be produced at short notice in both standard and special materials.
FTL Technology can now help its customers out of difficult situations, involving seals and bushings within days rather than months, with its special Merkel Xpress service.
Seals in virtually any profile in diameters up to 4m can be produced at short notice in both standard and special materials.
This service is especially useful in impending breakdowns and new product development.
The Merkel Xpress service can help with inventory control by eliminating the necessity to stock rarely used parts.
Seals and components can be produced in Nitrile, Therban, Viton, PTFE as standard materials.
These grades include one suitable for potable water and food applications.
Bushings can be produced in PTFE grades and a range of polymers including Peek.
Expert advice is always available to help with the correct choice of profile and materials.
Larger diameter seals (in excess of 2.5m up to 4m) understandably take longer to manufacture than smaller diameter seals.
However, this fact weighed against the cost of large moulds, present a powerful argument for using Merkel Xpress.
Quick delivery times are made possible by CAD drawings that can be directly loaded onto the machine tool software.
Hundreds of profiles can be loaded instantly and this bank of profiles is constantly expanded on a daily basis.
