Leading Converter Reports New Chamber Seal Technology Lasts 50 Times Longer

5/27/2005 - (Charlotte, NC)

Charlotte, N.C., May 27, 2005 – According to a leading flexo converter, DuroSeal™ end seals, manufactured by the HarperScientific™ division of global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America, last up to 50 times longer than average end seals.

“We can run several million feet of product with DuroSeal, versus 20,000 feet with our previous foam seals,” said this wide web printer, who, for competitive reasons, asked to remain anonymous.

“The DuroSeal products have yielded amazing results for our customers since their introduction,” said Steve Townsend, Technical Product Specialist at HarperScientific. “Two features make these products truly unique: the first is the exclusive deep lubrication treatment that improves lubricity against the anilox roller surface, and the second is an improved interlocking fiber-matrix within the materials that enhance the seal’s cushioning fit. The results are consistently improved sealing power over longer periods of time, and drastically advanced performance.”

He added, “DuroSeals can serve a very wide variety of inks and inking chamber systems where poor fits or seating cause leaking, premature blade wear and even anilox damage.”

With continuous research and field testing, HarperScientific developed DuroSeals as a customized solution product line of seal materials and treatments that are capable of advancing almost any press chamber’s seal performance. Through a custom diagnosis by HarperScientific’s seal product specialist, and a range of 25 different material solutions, DuroSeals can determine the best seal for any given condition or ink/chamber/press combination.

All DuroSeal products come with a performance guarantee. Custom design enhancements for specific ink chamber systems come at no extra cost.
