Eliminating O-Ring Extrusion in Food Processing Equipment

In food processing, seals do more than contain pressure. They protect product quality and keep systems compliant. When o-rings in a pressure vessel began extruding from their grooves, one manufacturer turned to Marco Rubber & Plastics for help resolving the contamination risks and unplanned shutdowns. The Challenge A major food processor was experiencing seal failures […]

How Marco Rubber & Plastics Helped a Semiconductor Manufacturer Under Pressure

Semiconductor and solar panel production runs on tight schedules. A single delay in the supply chain can slow down lines, raise costs, and create risk for downstream processes. During the COVID-19 labor shortage, a semiconductor manufacturer was facing a challenge that threatened their output and created a risk of costly delays.  The manufacturer reached out […]

High-Temperature Sealing Solution for Dynamic Valve and Control Systems

Valve and control systems face constant movement, heat, and pressure changes that can strain any sealing material. At 600°F and 1,000 psi, the conditions exceed what most standard seals can handle. Reliable performance in that environment depends on precise engineering and the right combination of materials. One of Marco Rubber & Plastics’ long-time valve and […]

High-Pressure Sealing for Water Jet Cutting Systems

Industrial water jet systems rely on precision sealing to contain and control extreme force. Operating at up to 60,000 psi, a single compromised seal can stop production, damage equipment, and drive up maintenance costs. A manufacturer of advanced water jet cutting equipment contacted Marco Rubber & Plastics after experiencing repeated seal failures in their piston […]
