Gasket Groove Preparation
It is imperative that the gasket groove is prepped before applying new gaskets. Left over glue can cause gaskets not to adhere properly and can reduce the operation life dramatically. WCR's service engineers are trained and have over 120 years of combined experience at regasketing plates. Rolled grooves is the #1 cause for external leakage after regasketing. If a rolled groove is not identified the plate pack will not seal properly and will again cause costly down-time. With the WCR regasketing service program this type of deformation will be identified. In most cases WCR will be able to repress the plates. This can save up to 60% of the costs of the new plate and extend the life of the plate for years.
