Mechanical Seal Repair Centers

In addition, we can offer mechanical seal repairs supported through Chesterton Munich and Chesterton Hungary – Mechanical Seal Repair Centers.

The above centers, which are ISO certified, were created to support the European Market, where not only Chesterton seals are repaired but also any seal type and size of another maker i.e.: Pillar, Flowserve, Framo, Burgman, IMO, Naniwa etc. Both Chesterton repair center facilities ensure quick repair, detailed documentation, fast deliveries and relevant Chesterton seal warranty for 6 months.

Chesterton’s advanced packing uses the latest in fiber, lubricant and braiding technology to deliver superior leakage control. Fibers are individually coated with lubricant before braiding, thus eliminating wicking and providing superior blocking for longer, leak-free performance and lower life-cycle costs for  your valves and pumps. 

With a state-of-the-art valve testing facility Chesterton conducts both API and ISO test protocols and provides a wide range of services to many valve manufacturers. With the ability to simulate many critical applications, we can help you choose the right valve and packing for your needs.
