Bungartz: New sealing principle

Frankenthal-based pump and valve manufacturer KSB closed the 2023 financial year with record figures for order intake and sales revenue. The EBIT margin (earnings before finance income / expense and income tax) of 7.9 % reached the level originally targeted for 2025.

Matching the right elastomer to an application is key to ensuring an o-ring’s optimal performance and mitigating premature failure. One critical factor to consider is resistance to process fluids.

Over the past few decades, the cruise industry has witnessed significant growth, with cruise liners evolving from modest vessels to extravagant floating cities.

Sustainable ingredients will help curb the carbon footprint of some polymer compounds at Freudenberg

Sulzer has launched a new shut-off device SOD for horizontal SALOMIX™ SSA agitators that significantly reduces the time spent on servicing the seal. The device enables seal maintenance without emptying the tank, which makes the feature especially useful for very large tanks, wastewater treatment plants, and other critical processes.

In appliances used for water purification and carbonated water, the valve of a carbon dioxide cartridge and the pressure-reducing valve on the device itself must be joined with a secure seal. Now, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a patented, high-performance polyurethane seal for a customer that has a specific geometry that not only accommodates different valve dimensions on the various gas cartridges, but also offers high impermeability under long-lasting pressure.
