Flexitallic has expanded its manufacturing capabilities for its Change™ gasket with an investment in new production technology.
The company has invested around GBP 200,000 in machinery at its facility in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, UK, to supplement its existing Change™ gasket manufacturing operation in Texas, United States.
The introduction of the manufacturing equipment will enable Flexitallic to increase production in line with the industry demand for the ChangeTM technology and enable shorter lead-times for Europe and the Eastern Hemisphere.
Developed by Flexitallic in direct response to customers’ long-term heat exchanger sealing problems, Change™ is a highly-resilient metal-wound gasket, designed to deliver the most dynamic static sealing technology ever.
Manufactured using proprietary equipment, Change™ outperforms conventional gasket technology in challenging environments, especially in applications with mechanical and thermal cycling conditions.
It has also achieved independent industry accreditation from TALuft for its ability to deliver the tightness of a Kammprofile with the recovery of a Spiral Wound Gasket.
