Compressor Seals
Compressor Sealing Solutions
FTL supplies high‑performance sealing solutions for a wide range of compressor technologies, from mobile transit units to large industrial machines. We understand vane, piston, screw, roots or lobe, hook and claw, and heavy reciprocating compressors, and how each behaves in real‑world operation.
We design sealing systems that remain reliable under vibration, pressure cycling, contamination, temperature changes, and variable lubrication. Each solution is tailored to the mechanical and environmental demands of the application, helping OEMs improve reliability, reduce leakage, and increase efficiency and service life. Our combination of experience and engineering capability makes FTL a trusted technical sealing partner throughout development and beyond.
PTFE Lip Seals
Cartridge Seals
Rotary Seals
Engineered for continuous rotation, FTL rotary seals minimise friction, reduce leakage, and maintain long-term sealing integrity. Material and profile options ensure resistance to wear in dynamic compressor environments.
Reciprocating Seals
How we improve your system
• Material and geometry optimisation tailored to the compressor platform
• Easy integration into new or existing designs
• Simplified installation using robust cartridge assemblies
• Higher efficiency and durability with low‑friction PTFE materials that reduce heat, wear and leakage
• Complete kit‑building, including packing sets, seal kits and custom assemblies
• Stockholding and logistics support that protects system uptime with consistent availability and shorter lead times, plus aftermarket protection through part marking and full traceability
• End‑to‑end engineering support from concept through prototype and production
Market Experience
- Transit vane compressors for braking and suspension systems
- Portable workshop compressors with intermittent duty and variable loads
- Breathing‑air high‑pressure piston compressors for diving and emergency services
- Road‑tanker discharge systems using roots/lobe and screw machines in dusty, vibration‑prone environments
- Mobile tyre‑service compressors operating at high pressures and demanding duty cycles
- Industrial reciprocating compressors requiring long‑life piston rings and packings for continuous operation
