Grafseal Suction Roll
Sealing Strips
for reduced wear and increased life

Drawing Office Grafseal is a vulcanised polymer-bonded graphite compound, specially developed & manufactured to ensure maximum operational performance with minimum wear and greatly increased life. This advanced material is continuously extruded in sections, to produce suction roll sealing strips of any length, suitable for higher speed applications in papermaking, such as newsprint, tissue and fine papers.

Fitted inside the suction roll, suction strips are among the most crucial wear parts in the entire papermaking process. ApplesealThey provide an airtight & watertight seal between the stationary vacuum box and the rotating shell - creating a vacuum area. Any premature failure of these strips could cause a loss of vacuum, substantial lost output, and major replacement downtime. It is therefore vital to ensure that the correct material is used in this application.

Perplas Lunds produce Grafseal suction roll sealing strips in ultra-reliable highest-quality material. Maintaining the highest standards of quality & accuracy, our Grafseal products are used by OEMs, machinery manufacturers and paper mills throughout the world. We always hold substantial stocks of extruded material, ready for machining, so that we can comply with the fastest international response needs.

advantages & qualities of materials
