Traeger Gaskets
Traeger Brothers stocks high temperature/high pressure spiral wound gaskets, non-asbestos cut rings and full face gaskets at all of our warehouses. Curacao and Aruba also stock gasket sheets and packing. Our partner gasket manufacturers can make all types of gaskets in their shops, including:
 

Spiral Wound
These gaskets typically feature an outer, or centering ring of carbon steel, and an inner winding of alternating strips of flexible graphite and stainless steel. Inner rings are required for higher pressure classes. Inner and outer rings are available in stainless steel, Monel, or carbon steel plus many other materials.  Windings can include stainless steel or Monel for the ultimate corrosion resistance. PTFE filler can substitute for graphite in some caustic processes. 

Cut Ring
The most popular ring material is aramid fiber with NBR binder, replacing asbestos in the USA years ago. Full face gaskets feature bolt holes while ring gaskets do not. With our manufacturer’s computer controlled laser and water jet cutters and your pattern we can make any shape from any material specified. 

Ring Type Joint
This high pressure gasket is a solid ring of steel that dovetails inside the grooves between two matching flanges. Grooves and gaskets are either oval or octagonal when viewed in cross-section.  We will often supply these along with high pressure valve and flange sets, which together can handle pressures up to 10,000 psi. 

Heat Exchanger Gaskets
Heat Exchanger Gaskets can have intricate patterns called partitions that must be perfectly crafted to match the pattern of internal passageways of the exchanger. These are often specified as double jacketed soft iron, steel, stainless steel or alloy sandwiched over graphite cores.  

Corrugated Metal Gaskets
Corrugated Metal Gaskets are high performance gaskets for heat exchanger or flanged applications. They feature a corrugated metal form for strength, and a coating of flexible graphite for a surface that conforms to your existing sealing faces. They mold in place filling surface irregularities and creating a superior seal. It can maintain this seal despite harsh effects of hydrocarbons or steam. You can substitute a CMG for double jacketed heat exchanger gaskets, cut rings or spiral wounds to solve challenging sealability problems. 

Kammprofile
This new technology utilizes micro-grooves in graphite faced steel rings to provide positive seals longer and more reliably than traditional metal jacketed or spiral wound gaskets. They provide improved performance at lower seating stresses, and have excellent anti-blowout properties. Need to reduce emissions? Kammprofiles might be the solution. 

Packing
Valve stems, pump shafts, and propeller shafts all need packing to survive the heat, vibration, abrasion and corrosion of heavy industry. Picking the correct packing for your application is critical, yet easy with our expert help. Typically braided or extruded with a square cross-section, packing is rated to withstand different shaft speeds, temperatures, pressures, corrosive chemicals and abrasives. Carbon fiber, graphite, and Teflon are common selections for highest performance. 

Sheet Packing
You can fabricate your own gaskets with our sheet packing and a gasket cutting set. Aramid/NBR, graphite and carbon fiber are popular, some with stainless steel "tang" inserts, along with rubber, Teflon and cork. 

O-Rings
O-rings are everywhere! If it has a size, it can be replaced. Order assortments or o-ring making kits, and rubber cord by the foot.  

Mechanical Seals
Complicated sets of spinning rings and springs, mechanical seals are the choice for high powered pumps and machinery. Our partner manufacturers can replace many modern mechanical seals. 

Oil Seals
If you’ve got oil, you’ve got oil seals. Why not replace them now, along with some new bearings and avoid costly down time later. Better get a couple spares too. Send us your spec, we’ll get them on your shelf.
