Filter Focus launches new Seal Saver cylinder cover
02 December, 2013: Wear control specialist Filter Focus has introduced a breakthrough in preventative maintenance tools to the African marketplace, after officially launching a range of Seal Saver protective cylinder covers locally in August 2013.
Filter Focus COO Craig FitzGerald notes that the Seal Saver range is designed for extending the life of hydraulic cylinders and hoses. “It is a simple solution to a variety of hydraulic and air cylinder rod maintenance issues, as it boasts excellent resistance to heat, oil, chemicals and water," he explains.
According to FitzGerald, the Seal Saver range is available in ballistic nylon, Kevlar or silicon models, which can all withstand temperatures up to 1 000 oC. "What's more, the Velcro closure and wrap-around design makes installation quick and easy, with no disassembly of the cylinder required. Once installed, the Seal Saver opens and closes like an accordion as the cylinder works.”
FitzGerald adds that the Seal Saver range also prevents silt-sized particles from entering the hydraulic system via the rod seals. "Once in the system, these tiny particles can act as a lapping compound, causing wear to valves and pumps, and eventually damaging the entire hydraulic system. Seal Saver helps to stop the influx of contaminants, to ensure the hydraulic system remains clean and operational, saving equipment owners’ time and money in repairs and unexpected downtime.”
Seal Saver is manufactured in the USA, where it has developed a tried and trusted reputation over the years. FitzGerald adds: "Seal Saver has been proven to extend the life of the cylinders, as it prevents harmful dust and debris from damaging the cylinder. Once the cylinder needs to be replaced, Seal Saver can be reused on the new cylinder for up to 25 years.”
FitzGerald comments that more than 50 000 Seal Saver units have been implemented with successful results in numerous industries worldwide, and he is confident of achieving similar success in the African market. "Continued investment in Africa has prompted the need for better quality products. Given the proven international track record of Seal Saver, I am optimistic that it can add value to some of the most demanding environments in Africa, including; construction, mining, waste management, refineries, marinas, recycling, wind turbines, concrete and oil and gas,” he concludes.
Ends.
