adding further value through reliability consultancy

The AESSEAL® reliability software suite allows a user to select an

appropriate product for any specific processing application, using

a database which contains over 10,000 chemical records.

The user can then calculate the heat load of the seal / application

and select an appropriate seal support system to maximize the

seal life.

By surveying the plant the user can track equipment installations,

maintain failure and leakage records and report and track

equipment mean time occurrences.

More than just a supplier, AESSEAL® adds real value, fully

supported by customer audited documentation.
