Fitting Shaft seals in service.

It is possible to replace lip seals without removal of the tailshaft by vulcanising split seals on the shaft. The old seal is removed and the shaft and housing carefully cleaned
A pre cut seal is assembled into the vulcanising machine

The vulcanising machine is then set up off the shaft and the position of the seal checked.

The vulcanising agent is mixed and applied to the seal ends.

The vulcanising machine is then fitted to the shaft and connected to an electrical supply. A heater within the machine heats the seal to a predetermined temperature for a set time determined by ambient temperature, material type etc.
