Safer sealing solutions for the
Pulp and Paper Industry

In the pulp and paper industry, spiral wound gaskets serve several crucial purposes and applications:

Sealing of Pulp Processing Equipment: Spiral wound gaskets are utilized to seal connections in various pulp processing equipment such as digesters, refiners, and screens. These gaskets ensure leak-tight seals, preventing the escape of pulp slurry and chemicals used in the production process.
Flange Connections in Papermaking Machinery: Papermaking machinery, including paper machines, rollers, and drying cylinders, often require sealing at flange connections to prevent leaks and maintain process efficiency. Spiral wound gaskets are applied in these connections to provide reliable sealing under the high pressures and temperatures encountered in paper production.

Chemical Resistance: The pulp and paper industry involves the use of various chemicals for pulp bleaching, sizing, and coloring. Spiral wound gaskets are engineered with materials that offer excellent resistance to chemicals, ensuring long-term performance and preventing corrosion or degradation in harsh chemical environments.

Steam Systems and Boilers: Pulp and paper mills frequently utilize steam for various processes such as drying and heating. Spiral wound gaskets are employed to seal connections in steam systems and boilers, ensuring efficient energy transfer and preventing steam leaks.

Environmental Considerations: Environmental regulations in the pulp and paper industry require strict control over emissions and effluents. Spiral wound gaskets help in maintaining leak-free operation, minimizing the risk of chemical spills or leaks that could harm the environment.

Overall, spiral wound gaskets play a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of equipment in the pulp and paper industry, providing reliable sealing solutions that withstand the demanding conditions of pulp processing and papermaking processes.

Spiral Wound Gasket Dimensions

Spiral wound gasket dimensions vary based on flange size, typically conforming to ANSI B16.5 or ASME B16.47 standards. Thickness ranges from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch or more, with customizable widths and inner/outer diameters to fit specific flange configurations. Consult with us for precise specifications.
