Extended service life with the innovative Inflatable Tube seal
Greater reliability and higher efficiency: With the newly developed inflatable tube seal and its compatible filling spout for the VeloVac vacuum packer, unplanned downtimes and maintenance costs can be significantly reduced.
Revolutionizing performance: Achieve an up to 2,500% longer service life
The new inflatable tube from GREIF-VELOX is a true game changer. While the current industry standard seals achieve an average service life of 5,000 cycles, our innovation sets a new benchmark. Initial tests reveal that instead of the projected 40,000 cycles, up to 125,000 cycles are possible—a remarkable 2,500% improvement.
Especially in demanding applications like vacuum-packing silica, which puts extreme stress on materials and components, the new spout with its optimized seal provides a decisive competitive edge. The extended service life drastically reduces unplanned downtimes, boosts productivity as well as cutting costs for spare parts and maintenance.
Stay ahead with predictive maintenance to eliminate unexpected downtime
The inflatable tube seal also enables a focus on predictive maintenance. Instead of operating until a material failure occurs, the new seal design allows for a proactive replacement schedule. Replacement intervals can be optimally planned, eliminating costly production interruptions and extensive cleaning efforts.
Maximum durability through material and geometry optimization
The development of the inflatable tube seal is the result of an intensive product development process. We tested various materials and geometries to create a solution that delivers a peak performance, even under demanding conditions. The result is a seal that remains durable under high stress and minimizes unplanned repair works.
Efficient handling and faster replacement
In addition to its extended service life, the inflatable tube seal impresses with its user-friendly design. An optimized spout structure and a new threaded spout cap replace the previous, often problematic screw connections. This innovation simplifies the replacement process, reducing the replacement time by up to 75%. Less time spent, means lower operating costs — a win for every user. The replacement process is further streamlined with GREIF-VELOX’s EasyBell tool, making it even more convenient and user friendly.
