Metalloplastic seals

Metalloplastic seals: advanced solutions for extreme industrial applications

Our company, with 37 years of experience in the production of technical articles, specialises in the manufacture of metalloplastic seals for a wide range of industrial applications. These seals are particularly valued for their ability to compensate for flange movements caused by thermal cycling, variable pressures, shock or vibration, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting seal. Our production of metalloplastic seals is based on advanced technology that combines a spiral-wound shaped metal strip with a soft filler-material tape, offering tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of our customers.

Features of metalloplastic seals

  • Spiral structure: Metalloplastic seals consist of a spiral-wound shaped metal strip together with a soft filler-material tape. This combination provides a highly elastic and resistant solution, able to absorb and compensate for flange movements and deformations caused by thermal variations and high pressures.
  • Movement compensation: These seals are designed to compensate for flange movements, ensuring an effective seal even in the presence of repeated thermal cycles, mechanical shock and vibration. Their ability to adapt and settle between the metal strip and the filler material keeps the seal uniform and secure.
  • Elasticity and mechanical strength: Spirometallic seals, a type of metalloplastic seal, are known for being more elastic than other metal/filler seals. This makes them ideal for applications requiring a combination of mechanical strength and elastic recovery, ensuring uniform density and optimal performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
  • Adaptability to different conditions: Metalloplastic seals can be designed with variable density based on the tightening loads and operating conditions, delivering optimal performance in different industrial applications. This makes them particularly suitable for use in heat exchangers, autoclaves, heaters and other equipment operating at high temperatures and pressures.
  • Compressibility and elasticity: Thanks to the soft-material core, partially or fully covered with a metal foil, metalloplastic seals offer excellent compressibility and elasticity. These features make them ideal for applications requiring a secure seal even under extreme temperature and pressure conditions.

Applications of metalloplastic seals

The metalloplastic seals produced by our company are used across a wide range of industrial sectors, thanks to their ability to ensure a reliable seal under extreme operating conditions. Some of the main applications include:

  • Heat exchangers: Where the ability to withstand thermal cycling and high pressures is crucial to maintaining operating efficiency.
  • Autoclaves and heaters: Where the seals must withstand high temperatures and significant pressures while maintaining a secure, long-lasting seal.
  • High-performance industrial plants: Where mechanical strength, elasticity and adaptability are essential to ensure the safe and continuous operation of the equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Metalloplastic seals: the answers

Metalloplastic seals, with a spiral-wound metal strip and a soft filler tape, are designed to compensate for flange movements caused by thermal cycling, variable pressures, shock and vibration.

Rossini Guarnizioni metalloplastic seals, thanks to their resistance to thermal cycling and high pressures, are suited to heat exchangers, autoclaves, heaters and high-performance industrial plants.

Yes. Spirometallic seals, a type of metalloplastic seal, are more elastic than other metal/filler seals and combine mechanical strength with elastic recovery.

The highly elastic spiral structure absorbs and compensates for flange movements and deformations caused by vibration, shock and thermal variations, maintaining a uniform seal.

A metalloplastic seal is indicated when flanges are subject to thermal cycling, variable pressures, shock or vibration that a traditional flat gasket wouldn't be able to compensate for. The structure with a spiral-wound metal strip and soft filler adapts to movement while keeping a uniform seal, useful on heat exchangers, autoclaves and high-performance plants.
