The rupture of a low-quality or substandard gasket under pressure leads to the shaft system taking on water and seizing up, million-dollar vessels being trapped in drydock for days, enormous penalties being paid due to disrupted shipments, and irreparable cargo damage.
Designed for situations where conventional solid seals fall short, Inflatable Shaft Seals / Gaskets are high-engineering products that expand by being inflated with air, thanks to their hollow elastomeric structure and the special valve (nozzle) mechanism on them. When inflated, they expand to completely fill all gaps between surfaces; they create a perfect sealing line even on rough, curved or irregular surfaces.
We offer this product, which has revolutionized the isolation of ship propeller shafts in the maritime industry in particular and critical rotating equipment in heavy industry, as Turkey's first and only domestic manufacturer. With its superior adaptability and durable structure, we provide a reliable business experience where you will truly feel the difference in product quality in the total cost of ownership.
Maritime Sector: Preventing water ingress during propeller shaft stern tube, chute and tube maintenance, emergency sealing of the shaft tube.
Heavy Industry and Energy: Hydroelectric power plant (HPP) turbine shafts, industrial agitators and mixers.
Process and Plant Sealing: Curved or poorly fitting rough cover surfaces, large-diameter rotating drums and all special shaft systems requiring isolation.
Full Conformity to Rough Surfaces: Thanks to its flexible structure, it takes the shape of uneven mating surfaces, completely sealing indentations and protrusions by filling them with air.
Easy Use with Valve Mechanism: Thanks to the special valve/nozzle connection on it, it can be easily inflated with standard air pumps and deflated when needed.
Friction-Free Service Life: Since it is inflated when needed and deflated when the job is done, it does not create continuous friction or wear on the shaft.
Wide Material Options: Nitrile (NBR), Neoprene (CR), Silicone (VMQ) and EPDM raw material options depending on the operating environment, chemical contact and temperature.
Domestic Manufacturing at International Standards: 100% domestic production providing lead time and cost advantages compared to imported products.
We design and manufacture our products to adapt to nominal conditions. Our goal is to provide optimum benefit in your system. We can carry out custom manufacturing in different sizes, cross-sections and forms suitable for the geometry of the area you will use, the shaft diameter and the operating pressure.
For Your Special Requests: For your project-specific shaft dimensions, different form and material requests and specific mold requirements, please send us a message or contact us by email.
