Valve Seals for Inimitable Performance in Demanding Applications

Valve seals are designed to be used in different types of engines for controlling oil consumption, and valve lubrication. The design and manufacturing of the seal is the key to ensure seal performance and longevity. A badly designed seal can result in engine oil flooding, which will cause a breakdown. At SSP Seals, we understand the importance of a well-designed industrial seal. We provide standard and custom valve seals to meet the needs of various engine and pump manufacturers in America.

A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically valves fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. The word is derived from the latin valva, the moving part of a door, in turn from volvere, to turn, roll.

Valves have many uses, including controlling water for Irrigation, industrial uses for controlling processes. Valves are found in virtually every industrial process, including water & sewage processing, mining, power generation, processing of oil, gas & petroleum, food manufacturing, chemical & plastic manufacturing and many other fields.

Problems Created by Inferior Seals

The following are the factors that cause, or result in the valve seal getting damaged.

• High operating temperatures
• Heavy, oily carbon deposits
• Increased oil consumption

These factors can lead to a variety of problems, including the converter getting damaged, and valve seals leakage.

Valve Seal Solutions provided by SSP Seals

The following are the solutions that we provide to ensure that our seals will provide consistent durable performance.

• Materials: We utilize industrial grade materials, which have been specifically chosen to meet all application requirements. These include HPU, PTFE, PEEK, MVQ Silicone, NBR, and UHMWPE. These materials provide benefits of chemical inertness, low flammability, wear and abrasion resistance, and wide temperature range.
• Seal Design: For valve seals, we can design in both basic types – positive and umbrella seals. Positive seals provide tight sealing to ensure oil and emissions control. Umbrella seals control the amount of oil that the valve guide receives.
• Manufacturing Equipment: We utilize the latest in CNC seal machining and specialized oil making machines. The combination of these equipment allows us to create valve seals in a variety of types and sizes.

Industrial Applications

Our valve seals are popular options for installing different types of applications in various industries.
