Mechanical seals for the paper and cardboard Industry
At FPE Seals, we supply mechanical seals that are specifically designed and customised to meet the demanding needs of the paper and cardboard sector, helping improve efficiency and exceed performance expectations.
This industry involves the use of large volumes of chemicals throughout the paper production process, chemicals that mechanical seals are exposed to continuously. That’s why it’s essential to carefully select not only the right type of seal but also the most suitable materials and quality for each application.
Engineered for High-Performance Machinery
The paper and cardboard sector relies on technically advanced machinery that operates under high pressure and temperature. During production, cellulose fibres are mixed with water to form pasty compounds, an environment where mechanical seals play a critical role.
To ensure consistent lubrication of seal faces and prevent failures, FPE Seals recommends double mechanical seals, such as API Plan 53A dual cartridge systems, supported by ancillary components like reservoirs.
Internal assemblies with metal bellows seals offer a self-cleaning effect due to their geometry, helping prevent blockages and maintain operational efficiency.
Our mechanical seals are built with chemically resistant materials to withstand exposure to whitening agents, pigments, thickeners, and other substances used in paper production. This ensures long-lasting performance and contributes to more efficient, cost-effective operations.
