VOD O-RING SEAL
Endless O-ring seal for Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization Chambers
Vacuum oxygen decarburization (VOD) – decarburization in controlled oxygen atmospheres inside VOD chambers – is an important metallurgic process in stainless steel refining. We have developed a special vacuum seal for extremely harsh conditions that occur inside these VOD chambers (high temperatures, chemicals, heavy weight, molten steel residue …).
A large O-ring (endless design) enables simple, fast and safe mounting onto the VOD hamber. It is also long lasting, economic and efficient. Our references are happy customers from the SS melting sector (SIJ Acroni, Metal Ravne).
