Included in the Garlock range are internationally recognised Klozure oil seals and a complete range of non-asbestos gasket materials, which comply with strict environmental regulations. Also available are bearing isolators and mechanical seals which provide optimum bearing protection, ensuring contamination exclusion and extended service life of the entire system.
Garlock also manufactures elastomer seals and hydraulic components, which consist of heavy duty seals for reciprocating and rotating equipment. BMG not only provides standard Garlock components, but custom made sealing systems are also manufactured to exact specifications. These sealing systems undergo stringent field and in-housing testing to ensure safe and reliable use, as well as extended service life in all applications, including arduous conditions.
BMG’s extensive branch network of over 100 outlets supports this range with a technical advisory and support service.
