Minimises risk

Kalrez Spectrum perfluoroelastomer O-rings from the DuPont Performance Elastomers range, available in the UK from Dichtomatik, have been used to minimise the risk of premature seals failure, increase MTBF times and significantly reduce costly downtime for hydraulic clamping systems. The clamping products were manufactured by a leading European manufacturer of heavy-duty systems for applications in the metals, plastics and rubber processing industries.

By switching to the Kalrez Spectrum 7075 sealing parts for their hydraulic pumps range, the manufacturer could offer a long-term resistance to aggressive fluids, as well as operating temperatures of 250°C, coupled with increased reliability for their systems, while also achieving cost savings.
