TT Gaskets invested in SWG manufacturing
April 4, 2021
The product family of our spiral wound gaskets expands again! TT Gaskets invested in two machines, which now allow us to offer gaskets tailored to your needs on a fast schedule – manufactured and assembled in just a day.
Dimensionally accurate to all applications
The investment in both horizontal and vertical machines continues TT Gasket’s determined work to increase our product range of gaskets. Semi-automatic, EU-made machines bring new opportunities for both us and our customers.
– We will continue to keep an extensive stock of standard-sized spiral wound gaskets. Now we are also able to make small batches of gaskets ourselves according to the customer’s drawings, material choices and standards, says product innovation director Petri Lehtinen.
The new machines produce spiral wound gaskets from small DN15 size up to 4000 millimeters in diameter. The gasket is optionally equipped with an outer guide ring or inner support ring – or both. Our high-quality products resist extreme temperatures, pressures and chemicals even in most challenging conditions.
Fast delivery shortens downtime
TT Gaskets spiral wound gaskets are used in power plants, pulp mills and the chemical industry, to name a few. Now we can also serve OEM customers with our own production, such as engine factories and pump of valve manufacturers. Thanks to previous investments, the product family of semi-metal gaskets also covers the production of camprofile and metal-jacketed gaskets.
– Depending on material choices, we can manufacture the needed gasket in a day. Factory maintenance time shortens, and unnecessary downtime reduces. Thanks to shorter logistic distances, we can serve a wide range of industries in Finland and elsewhere. The finished spiral wound gasket can even be delivered the next day it was ordered, sales director Matti Salo promises.
Environmentally friendly method
We at TT Gaskets have reason to be happy: domestic work increases, logistics become easier, and the product family expands. The new machines also support our company’s environmental thinking. The spiral wound gaskets are wrapped from a thin strip, thus minimizing material loss. Dimensionally accurate gaskets meet even the most demanding safety standards.
– The versatile material storage includes clear materials such as AISI 316, AISI 321, AISI 347 or Monel 400. Graphite is usually used as a sealing filler. Whether you need an exceptionally sized gasket with fast delivery or a twenty-piece delivery batch of basic gaskets, get in touch!
