Llaberia-Klinger joints, the most effective seal

In this week’s article we will talk about one of the newest products that Llaberia Group offers customers, especially installers, for this 2019.

This new product has arisen in the face of the growing need to solve the problem of leaks of most joints used in the facility and its due re-tightening, which means quite high costs.

We are talking about the new Llaberia-Klinger gaskets, of which Llaberia has become the exclusive distributor throughout the country.

Llaberia Group has considered taking advantage of this great drawback by offering advantageous boards called Llaberia-Klinger,with which they put at the reach of all their customers to be able to perform a correct hydraulic installation with a long duration in time.

What are gaskets for in an installation?

Flange gaskets are the sealant elements of the passage of liquids or gases that pass between two flanges that are part of a mechanical installation to prevent leakage to the outside.

The aim of the sealing joints is to obtain a perfect bond between the two flanges and to fill in possible imperfections or irregularities on the surfaces of both parts. When the gasket is pressured it is compressed, and thanks to the screws and the flexibility of the joint get the necessary sealing system.

Why are gaskets important in a facility?

The effective operation of the joints in the assembly of an installation is vital to obtain good results. Its resistance to different fluids, chemicals, acids, alkaline, extreme temperatures, pressures and their ability to withstand different environments must be established in order to choose the material of the more suitable joint for each project. The vast majority of these gaskets are made in EPDM if they are intended for use in drinking water,but there are variants, such as NBR for “dirty” water.

What/what are the problems of the joints currently used?

Today companies are realizing the great failure of the boards they use in their facilities, and what this means translated economically. In the vast majority of cases where regular gaskets are used leaks appear, and re-tightening means quite high maintenance costs.

On the one hand, the main problem of PVC joints is that when they receive the pressure they are crushed and deformed and no longer recover their initial shape, thus no longer being useful.

On the other hand, PE (polyethylene) gaskets initially close properly, but after a period of time if they are not repressed they cannot prevent leaks. The problem is exacerbated by higher diameter and higher pressure.

La Solution de Llaberia Group

Faced with all these inconveniences Llaberia Group has decided to take it a step further and put a solution to it. How?

Llaberia Group wanted to look for a solution that offers the customer joints with an airtight seal that do not allow any leakage and without the need for any re-tightening in the future, nor the economic costs that this means.

To this end, the company has decided to collaborate with Klinger,a world leader in fluid sealing, control and monitoring solutions, and to become an official distributor in Spain of Llaberia-Klinger gaskets,which will be a major step forward for improving hydraulic pipelines.

What advantage do Llaberia-Klinger gaskets provide?

  • They stand out over the rest for incorporating a steel soul,which will prevent them from moving and deforming when pressure is exerted on them.
  • An outer layer of rubber protects its interior, while enhancing its strength and durability.
  • Its outer diameter will be equal to the inner diameter of the screws, so they will always be kept centered and without the possibility of escaping.
  • As a result, the total costs of the installation will decrease and their quality will increase.

Types of Llaberia-Klinger gaskets

These new gaskets offer three modalities,depending on the type of materials among which they have to be placed:

  • Gaskets for metal-metal,with an inner diameter equal to the pipe and no embroidery
  • Gaskets for metal-plastic,with a little thicker than the previous one and an inner diameter equal to that of the pipe plus the chamfer, this type if it has wedge-like embroidery so that the walloon has a good settlement
  • plastic-plastic gaskets, wider and thicker to properly absorb the settlement of both sides

The most common and used modality in the installations is the seal for metal-plastic, due to the type of installations that are most often performed.

Thus, with this list of advantages and with an optimal marketing and distribution of the product, Llaberia Group hopes to achieve great success with this novel product.
