For over 20 years PPE have been at the forefront of Diesel and Gas engine sealing technology.
Our Technical and Materials Technicians constantly work on elastomer and product design improvements to offer our customers leading edge solutions to their sealing problems.
Seals within the diesel sector operate in some particularly demanding service conditions. Combinations of aggressive coolants and oils can all work to reduce seal life.
By offering a number of tailored formulations for these applications, PPE can meet all your sealing needs including typical applications such as:-
.............Liner rings (up to 2000mm diameter)
.............Fuel - MDO, HFO and Gas
.............HP Injectors
.............High temperature exhaust valve seats
.............Sump, access covers and rocker covers
.............Cylinder joints
.............Turbochargers
.............Lube oil
Using the latest analytical equipment PPE Material Technologists evaluate and test new and existing materials in order to obtain the highest performing seals available. Low corrosion, high steam resistance, high temperature, along with excellent fuel and oil resistant materials are all available from PPE.
Our seal design department uses the latest FEA and 3D CAD packages to design and evaluate products to ensure we offer the most cost effective seals. New development products reach production via the fastest and lowest cost route, this not only gives the engine manufacturer a reliable, quality product faster, but extends service times and enables a much lower cost of ownership to the engineer user.
