Quick Turnaround and Precision Machined Seals

Machined parts offer a practical solution, saving companies time and reducing procurement difficulties when sourcing unique and hard-to-find sealing components. This growing need has increased demand for Rapid Seal, Hi-Tech Seals’ in-house elastomer and plastic machining service. Rapid Seal is currently operating in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Newmarket.

The expansion of our Rapid Seal operations has helped more customers reduce costly downtime by offering quick access to both standard and custom sealing components. With no expensive tooling charges, no minimum order quantities, and fast turnaround times, Rapid Seal has become a reliable source for manufacturing standard, replacement, or prototype sealing parts.

Precision Seal Engineering

Hi-Tech Seals works closely with customers to create machining solutions for difficult and time-sensitive sealing projects.  Our teams of sealing specialists can draft, design, and machine components to meet customers’ application requirements. Parts can be created based on product samples, customer-supplied drawings, or by using the existing metal dimensions to design a new seal.

Rapid Seal provides access to over 150 seal profiles pre-programmed into our seal design software. Customers can select from a wide variety of profiles, including wipers, rod seals, piston seals, lip seals, back-up rings, gaskets, and guide rings.

Advanced Machining Capabilities

Equipped with several in-house CNC lathes and multiple NC machines, we use advanced machining techniques, allowing us to produce standard and custom profiles from ¼” (6 mm) ID to 29” (737 mm) OD. To optimize seal performance, we offer custom seal designs and profile modifications, including lip design, seal clearance adjustments, and alterations of dimensions tailored to specific application needs. We can also machine complex profiles with holes, grooves, cavities, chamfers, and angles. Live tooling capabilities allow us to drill, tap, and mill components radially and axially.

Diverse Material Range

With a broad inventory of elastomer and plastic materials in a range of tube and billet sizes, we can provide reduced lead times for various application requirements. Common materials include, nitrile, hydrogenated nitrile, Viton™, Virgin reinforced PTFE, Virgin and reinforced KasPex™ PEEK, BoKure™ Urethane, and BoKure™ GHOST. Elastomers are available in hardnesses ranging from 70 to 95 Shore A durometer. Additionally, materials with specialty compounds for low temperatures, rapid gas decompression, sour gas, and FDA-compliant applications are available.
