Ceetak Ltd: Sealing Solutions

Some of our engineering team had the pleasure of attending The Gasket & Seals Show in Amsterdam this week! It was a fantastic opportunity to explore the latest innovations in sealing technology, connect with industry peers, and catch up with the European Sealing Association (ESA) – an organisation we're proud to be a member of 🤝 A highlight was the seminar from Sandy Van den Broeck, who shared valuable insights into the #PFAS restriction process and its potential impact on the valve and sealing industry. A timely and important discussion for all of us in the sector! As a specialist supplier of high-performance seals and gaskets, we’re committed to staying informed and ahead of regulatory changes. All while continuing to design and deliver reliable, innovative sealing solutions to our customers ✔ Thanks to all involved for such an insightful event – we’re already looking forward to the next one! #SealingSolutions #Engineering #Gaskets #Seals #PFAS #Innovation

Are all elastomers the same? At first glance, they might look alike - but in reality, elastomers vary widely in properties and performance. Choosing the right material is crucial to ensure optimal seal performance and longevity ✔ 🔍 Key factors to consider when selecting an elastomer: ✅ Material hardness: affects friction, assembly load, and wear resistance. Softer elastomers suit rough surfaces, while harder ones resist wear in dynamic applications. ✅ Chemical compatibility: exposure to fluids and gases can cause swelling or degradation - choosing the right material helps prevent failure. ✅ Temperature range: not all elastomers withstand extreme temperatures. Selecting the right grade ensures durability in your application. Elastomer selection can be complex, but it’s essential for reliability and efficiency. Need help?

🔍“Would it be possible to have a 3D-printed sample from you?” A question we get often get asked during development stages of a seal project. The answer? Absolutely! 3D printing has become an invaluable tool in seal development, allowing our customers to prototype seal and housing concepts before investing in production tooling. Here is a seal being 3D printed - a process that gives our customers: ✔️ Rapid prototyping: Test fit and basic function quickly, without traditional lead times ✔️ Material flexibility: From PLA to TPU, we choose materials that best simulate elastomer properties ✔️ Informed design decisions: Used alongside FEA simulations, 3D printing of seals and housings helps validate concepts before full-scale production While 3D-printed materials cannot quite match the long term properties of moulded elastomers, we offer a range of options to suit different applications. TPU, for example, is ideal for simulating elastomer characteristics in early-stage prototype programs. Thinking about trialling a concept seal?

This World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, we’re reflecting on how every engineering decision - big or small - impacts the environment 🌍 At Ceetak, our sealing solutions do more than prevent leaks; they help reduce environmental harm, extend equipment life, and minimise unnecessary waste. ✅ Sustainable design: we collaborate with our customers to specify seals that operate efficiently; avoiding leaks, excessive wear, and unplanned maintenance that contribute to higher CO₂ emissions. ✅ Material choices for equipment longevity: sometimes, a seal with a higher initial carbon footprint is the more sustainable choice because it lasts longer, reducing waste and system failures. We consider every aspect. ✅ Responsible disposal & recycling: Many of our seals can be recycled, but if not possible, we advocate for professional disposal methods to prevent harmful emissions - especially for fluoropolymers. Sustainability in engineering isn’t just about innovation and design; it’s about responsible use, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal. By focusing on durability and recyclability, we help customers reduce their environmental footprint across the entire lifecycle of their equipment. How is your engineering team contributing to sustainability?

In rotating applications, the correct seal choice can mean the difference between long-term reliability and premature component failure. Whether managing high-speed rotation with light oil mist or low-speed reciprocation in muddy environments, seals play a critical role in protecting machinery 🦾 Rotary shaft seals: ✅ Maintain lubrication by retaining a thin film of oil between the lip and the shaft. ✅ Prevent contamination, keeping dirt, dust, and moisture out of sensitive components. ✅ Control pressure by sealing fluid in or out, depending on the application. ✅ Extend the lifespan of adjacent components, preventing bearing failures caused by lubricant loss or foreign material ingress. A poorly designed seal can lead to excessive frictional heat, vibration, and premature wear—all of which contribute to unexpected downtime and costly repairs. We design and manufacture precision-engineered rotary shaft seals tailored to these exact challenges. They include: 🔹 Springless & spring-loaded profiles for different pressure and speed conditions. 🔹 PTFE and elastomer-based materials (NBR, FKM, HNBR, EPDM, etc.) optimised for wear resistance and performance. 🔹 Custom case materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and composites) to ensure secure fit and durability. 🔹 Advanced design & simulation tools to develop seals for the most demanding applications.
