Resistant to heat, oil, chemicals and water, the Seal Saver is a simple solution for a variety of hydraulic and air cylinder maintenance issues. This unique preventative maintenance tool can be manufactured from a wide range of materials, and it is custom designed for each application to ensure the best protection for each machine. This is not a“ one size fits all” type of product. Because the Seal Saver is designed specifically for the cylinder it is intended for, we have been able to protect almost every application that has come our way.

The basic ballistic nylon covers have proven effective in protecting cylinder rods from dirt ingression through the seals, abrasions, dings and dents, and are the most practical choice for everyday applications. For equipment that is exposed to chemicals or high heat, the Seal Saver can be made from Kevlar, aluminized silica, silicone rubber and other materials that are specifically designed to work in such harsh environments. The Velcro closure and wrap-around design makes installation quick and easy— usually in 15 minutes or less— with no disassembly of the cylinder required.

It is a widely known and accepted fact that in business, time is money. The Seal Saver has been proven over the course of the last 25 years to be a money saver in two ways. When used properly, it increases the lifetime of the cylinder and protects against downtime due to cylinder failure. Seal Saver also saves money simply by keeping your cylinders out of the repair shop. The beauty of the product is in its simplicity.

When we first began manufacturing the Seal Saver in the late 1980s, our primary goal was to protect the cylinders in the wood product industry from the ingression of dirt and oil that would inevitably damage

the seals of the cylinders and enter the hydraulic system through that weakness. Once in the system, these tiny particles can act as a lapping compound, causing wear to valves and pumps, and eventually damaging the entire hydraulic system.

Other products on the market at the time were either just not doing the job or they were so time consuming to install that cylinders were being left exposed to the environment. We saw fantastic results and success almost immediately and realized that if these worked so well on cylinders in mills, then what was stopping them for working on any sort of cylinder? We have since made the transition into a wide variety of industries with the same sort of success.

To date, the Seal Saver is being used in some of the most demanding environments around the world including construction equipment, mining, waste management, quarries, refineries, marinas and ocean vessels, wind turbines, ready mix concrete, oil and gas rigs and steel mills.

Seal Savers are manufactured solely by Fluid Control Services, Inc., a 100 % woman-owned company.
