Seal House is proud to introduce the new SKF Hydraulic Seal product line, and is now the official distributor of the range in New Zealand. The move significantly strengthens the relationship between the two companies, building on an association that stretches back for more than 20 years of the company’s 30-year history.
Seal House is a knowledge based company offering service and solutions to industry, something SKF also pride themselves on. The knowledge pool between the two organisations offer the New Zealand market a sealing solution information source.
The Hydraulic Seal range is available for both metric and imperial applications and, being based on a combination of quality products within the SKF family, offers a high quality sealing package to the all manner of industry from food processing, mining, steel production, dairy or anything in between.
This affiliation, follows on the heels of another innovative move in January 2014, with the Seal House purchase of an SKF Economos SealJet NG 060 CNC lathe. Acquiring the NG 060, the only machine of its kind in the country, that can produce seals up to 600mm
diameter, makes Seal House an all-in-one seals factory and substantially enhances the company’s capabilities, says general manager Matt Cook.
“The NG-060 is state-of-the-art technology with a disc turret to position tools automatically. It has a raw material to finished product turnaround of only an hour – and in many cases much less – and uses all modern sealing materials, including rubbers, urethanes and plastics. The NG-060 provides a complete production unit consisting of a CNC machine driven by software that offers up to 169 standard seal profiles that can be customized to suit individual application needs.”
The Seal House association with SKF is a thriving relationship that sees the company as the approved and sole partner to SKF NZ for machined seal technology and hydraulic seals in New Zealand. And Seal House is committed to that relationship, says Cook, and to being a long term key player in the New Zealand sealing industry, “Our level of experience and accumulated product knowledge is hard to find; many of our employees have been with the company for twenty years or more. We strive to foster a culture of excellence and I believe we are successful in this respect. We also have a strong focus on quality and flexibility. All this, combined with our solid
history means our customers know they can trust us to provide a seal that is right for the job.
“Our seals are made from top quality materials, sourced from around the world, including the United States, Canada and Europe. Another major point of difference is our capability to custom manufacture seals, either as a one off solution or in multiple runs. We manufacture a comprehensive range of seals and catalogue more than 19,000 finished seals and related sealing products for light
and heavy industry applications across New Zealand.”
The stock product line includes backup rings; custom seals; gaskets; door seals; moulded products; mechanical seals; seal kits; O-rings; packing; hydraulic seals; plastics; extruded products; rotary seals; and adhesives and sealants. Seal House are based with a Warehouse, Showroom and Production facility in East Tamaki, Auckland and a Warehouse and Trade Counter in Wigram Christchurch.
These two strategically placed sites, along with Sales Engineers covering Northland to the Bluff service New Zealand without compromise.
