BMG has invested in its second Seal Maker machine. Both have the capability to produce over 180 standardised hydraulic and pneumatic seals, O-rings, back up seals and oil seals to exact specifications.
“We installed our first Seal Maker at our Sealco facility in Johannesburg three years ago, and have now identified the need in KwaZulu-Natal for the same service,” says Ken Steel, general manager of BMG’s seals division. “This new machine produces a wide range of machined seals and various engineered plastic products according to precise requirements in quantities as small as a single unit in a few minutes.”
Seal Maker machines offer faster turnaround times, double the number of seal profile options and a wider range of materials than previously available on the older generation seal jet machines. The Seal Maker unit’s PC comes pre-installed with user-friendly SML system software. The machine has an 8-station disc turret for rapid tool change and quick setup time. This enables the operator to manufacture sealing and engineered plastic profiles with a maximum diameter of 560 mm within minutes.
BMG’s extensive range of seals is available in billet lengths of 140 mm in different materials, including Viton, EPDM, Silicon and a range of polyurethanes.
Its specialist seals division has for many years secured exclusive supply, service and distribution agreements with leading global seals manufacturers, which means that quality branded components are readily available. Diverse industries including mining, hydraulics and pneumatics, hydraulic after-market repairs, materials handling and repair facilities benefit from BMG’s service.
