Aesseal has officially reopened its mechanical seal test house in Rotherham, UK after a £1.4 million refurbishment.
The test centre, where the company’s mechanical seals and compressor dry gas seals are produced and put through quality and performance trials, has undergone a major upgrade over the past two years.
The entire test house building and offices have been reorganised and refurbished to allow for expansion of gas seals manufacture.
The first high speed dry gas test rig arrived in 2017. Now this final phase has seen Aesseal invest £800 000 in another five state-of-the-art test rigs, with a sixth planned for 2020.
The inauguration was part of an open evening held by the seal manufacturer to attract more local students into a career in engineering.
