Manufacture of high performance mechanical seals for reactors

Industrial reactors are critical equipment within the process industry that are subjected to high temperatures, high pressures and highly corrosive or flammable fluids. In order for these reactors to operate safely and continuously, a high performance sealing system is required. At Lidering, we specialise in the manufacture of customised mechanical seals for this type of complex equipment, designing solutions that guarantee reliability in any extreme conditions.

Mechanical seals for reactors: stringency, precision and reliability

An industrial chemical reactor is not a conventional process pump. Inside it, the chemical transformation of raw materials into an end product takes place, often under extreme conditions. This requires absolute sealing and a sealing design that ensures operational reliability with no room for error.

A reactor seal failure can involve not only significant economic losses, but also safety risks and environmental pollution. For this reason, the design of each mechanical seal is carefully studied, taking into account: 

• The type of fluid (corrosive, toxic, flammable…)
• Operating temperature and pressure
• Cleaning or sterility requirements (e.g. in pharmaceutical industries)
• Type of movement (agitation, cyclic pressure, thermal variations)

As a custom mechanical seal manufacturer, we at Lidering design solutions that ensure successful performance in extreme working environments, be it pressure, temperature or type of corrosive or reactive fluid.

Manufacture of mechanical seals in Barcelona: experience and own resources

With headquarters in Barcelona and a production centre in Reus, we are a company that produces customised mechanical seals for all types of industries. 

We are backed by more than 50 years of experience as manufacturers of mechanical seals, highlighting that our competitive advantage lies in the fact that we control the entire process: from the design to the final validation of the seal. And all this from a privileged location that allows us to respond quickly and with short lead times. 

Infrastructure and own resources

We have the latest technology for the manufacture of this type of mechanical seals:

• Numerical control manufacturing machinery.
• Machinery specially adapted to manufacture components in graphite and antimony, key materials for manufacturing agitation seals.
• Hydraulic and thermal test bench to validate our seals before delivery.
• Design of mechanical seal prototypes with 3D modelling to ensure the suitability of each part to the environment where it will be installed.

Certified and repairable mechanical seals

All this technology and specialisation in seals for reactors allows us to manufacture industrial products according to the requirements of applications such as ATEX, FDA, CE, among others.

Our Lidering production centre in Reus (Barcelona) is Saqr-ATEX certified, which allows us to carry out any repair of mechanical seals for reactors without them losing their initial ATEX certification level, even after the correction operations are carried out.

Thanks to this mechanical seal repair service, our customers not only obtain a high-performance seal, but can also extend its service life and save on maintenance costs with a full guarantee.

Supplier of seals for industrial reactors

Do you manufacture industrial reactors? Does your plant need to renew its sealing systems? Do you want to work with a supplier of mechanical seals in Barcelona that can develop customised solutions and also repair your certified equipment?

Collaborating directly with a mechanical seal manufacturer offers significant advantages compared to suppliers who only handle generic catalogues, starting with the adaptability of the customised design, better integration of the seal into the original equipment or closer, end-to-end technical support.

So now you know: if you need to manufacture or repair seals for reactors, contact Lidering’s technical team and tell us about your case. We study each project as an integral solution, from the design and manufacture to the repair of certified mechanical seals.
