Seal RiGiSeal Advantages

The RigiSeal is the efficient sealing solution when the supply gas is particularly contaminated (e.g., by particles/liquids). Due to the modular design principle, the seal can be adapted on a case-by-case basis for existing machines as well as for new projects. For this purpose, the respective seal features are defined according to the prevailing operating conditions and/or the result of the failure analysis.

RotechSeal Features

  • “Smart Labyrinth”
  • DiamondFace coating
  • Self-cleaning 3D gas grooves
  • Soft torque transmission
  • Debris resistant dynamic sealing element
  • Leakage optimization
  • CobaSeal (co-axial separation seal)

Additional RigiSeal Features

  • Improved seal gas extraction (Subsea Compressor Technology)
  • Seal washing system
  • Simplified support system
  • Labyrinth as back-up seal (PTFE labyrinth)
