SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS
Customer-specific & individual

In addition to standard components, we also have developed numerous

customer-specific sealing solutions. As illustrated in the following
examples, we will work closely with you to design and deliver a customtailored sealing solution that fulfills your unique and challenging
specifications.

A joint development project with a manufacturer of high-performance mixers and

agitators produced a split lip seal for
the mixer's shaft. This lip seal consists of
four PTFE-segments and one O-ring, with
two sealing segments set at right angles
always forming a ring.
