COMPONENTS FOR COMPRESSORS

Compressor components designed to improve efficiency, durability, and reliability.

Reciprocating compressors

PISTON RINGS AND RIDER RINGS

Fluorten’s F10PTFE piston rings and rider rings are the popular choice for compressors, replacing similar cast iron, graphite and laminar products.

In addition to being chemically inert to almost all technical gases and fluids – with the exception of alkali metals in the molten state, fluorine and hydrofluoric acid in the gaseous state, and some fluorocarbons at high pressures and temperatures – F10PTFE materials have high mechanical properties and wear resistance.

HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE

F10PTFE piston rings and rider rings can be used up to +260 °C. In general, this limit should be reduced in accordance with the pressure and speed of the piston.

DUPONT™VESPEL®

For heavy-duty applications that require greater wear and high temperature resistance, we manufacture rider rings and piston rings in DuPont™Vespel®. To complete the range, we produce components for suction and discharge valves in natural and filled F10PEEK.

Dry compressors

HIGH MECHANICAL RESISTANCE

Thanks to specific formulations of F10PTFE developed and tested in-house, Fluorten produces piston liners, piston rings, rider rings, cup seals and seals for use in dry (oil-free) compressors.

In addition to the high mechanical resistance and wear without lubrication, with performances superior to the standards used until now, the F10PTFE materials are chemically inert to almost all technical gases and fluids, with the exception of alkali metals in the molten state, fluorine and hydrofluoric acid in the gaseous state and some fluorocarbons, in conjunction with high pressures and temperatures, with the possibility of reaching operating temperatures up to +260 °C depending on pressure and speed.
