Bellow Seal Valves are the flagship product of Bell-OSeal. Bellow Seal construction valves are being offered by the company as a remedy for the packing gland leakage problem that many process businesses are experiencing. This architecture delivers leak-free performance with minimal fluid loss, which lowers energy consumption, encourages environmental friendliness, and increases worker safety around the plant & equipment.
Bellow seal valves provide a double-proof leak system, which is its main advantage. The ‘Bellow’ structure as the primary leak proof and the ‘Gland Packing’ as the secondary leak proof, but a typical valve product only has the 'Gland Packing' as the one and only leak proof and is prone to frequent issues that necessitate valve replacements. The valves that Bell-O-Seal provides to its customers are trustworthy, enduring, and perform better than average.
