Applications
Industrial: Rotary Lip Seals Applications
Description
Omniseal® PTFE rotary lip seals (also known as rotary shaft seals) have been the industrial sealing standard for air compressors since the mid-1980s, replacing rubber lip and carbon face seals that were prone to leakage across many major air compressor manufacturers. New technologies more than tripled seal life while maintaining tight leakage control, resulting in our lip seals delivering over 40,000 hours of maintenance-free service.

Depending on rotary lip seal type, the solution can be used across a broad range of dynamic rotary sealing applications in lubricated and non-lubricated environments, including extreme temperature applications.
Applications include:
- General purpose, lubricated and non-lubricated (10, 20 series)
- Extreme temperature (10 series)
- Abrasive media and gas sealing (10, 20 series)
- High speed with positive media exclusion via threaded lip (30, 80 series)
- Low torque, environmental, and dust exclusion (20, 50 series)
- Shaft runout and bore/shaft misalignment (20, 60 series)
- Medium-to-high pressure hydraulics (30 series)
- High pressure hydraulics (70 series)

Rotary Screw Compressor
A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of air by reducing its volume. It takes air from one end, compresses this air to high pressure and then delivers it at the other end for various applications or some mechanical work. Industrial Air Compressors are used in various industries including general industrial, chemicals, food and beverage, oil and gas, power generation and life science.
Scroll Compressor Eccentric Crank Pin Seals
Industrial scroll compressors are widely used for compressing air or refrigerant in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. They are known for their high efficiency, reliability, and quieter operation compared to traditional reciprocating compressors.
Heavy-Duty Food Processing & Mixing Equipment
Food manufacturing is a complex process where raw materials are transformed into delicious and safe consumable products. Various high-tech industrial technologies are used in this industry, one of which is heavy-duty conventional processing that includes many precision and critical stages.
Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump
Most businesses rely on Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps as they tend to be general workhorse devices used in transfer applications. They are used in a wide range of industries to handle different materials such as chemicals, crude oil, mining, food, beverage, paints and many more. These pumps use reciprocating diaphragms to pump fluid.
