In industries where leak prevention and process integrity are non-negotiable, double jacketed gaskets stand as a critical sealing solution. Their robust, metal-to-metal sealing capability makes them ideal for extreme pressures, temperatures, and volatile media. However, the performance of these gaskets is intrinsically linked to the precision with which they are manufactured. At Kaxite Sealing, we understand this fundamental connection. Our specialized Machine for Double Jacketed Gaskets represents the pinnacle of manufacturing technology, engineered to produce gaskets of uncompromising quality, consistency, and reliability.
Unlike standard gasket cutting, producing a double jacketed gasket involves a complex forming process where a metallic outer jacket (typically stainless steel 304/316, carbon steel, or specialty alloys) is precisely folded and crimped around a soft filler material (like flexible graphite, PTFE, or ceramic). This demands machinery with exceptional control over pressure, alignment, and forming angles. Our machine is designed specifically for this task, eliminating the inconsistencies of manual or adapted equipment. The result is a perfect, uniform crimp that securely encapsulates the filler, ensuring optimal seal performance from the first installation to the last.
Our machine is built for durability, precision, and user-friendly operation. Below are the detailed technical parameters that define its capabilities.
The following table outlines the key performance metrics and production capabilities of our standard KX-DJG series machines.
| Parameter | Specification Range / Detail | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| Jacket Material Thickness | 0.4 mm to 1.2 mm (22 ga to 16 ga) | Optimal for standard stainless and carbon steel jackets. |
| Forming Speed | Adjustable, 0.5 to 3.0 meters per minute | Speed depends on material grade, thickness, and desired crimp tightness. |
| Hydraulic System Pressure | 0-70 Bar (Adjustable) | Precise pressure control ensures consistent crimping without material damage. |
| Crimp Profile Options | Standard "C" Crimp, "V" Crimp, Custom Angles | Interchangeable forming dies allow for different sealing geometries. |
| Filler Material Compatibility | Flexible Graphite, PTFE, Mica, Ceramic Fiber, Composite Sheets | Machine tension is adjustable to accommodate soft filler compression. |
| Precision (Crimp Consistency) | ± 0.15 mm radial tolerance | Critical for uniform bolt loading and leak-free performance. |
| Safety Features | Two-Hand Operation, Emergency Stop, Safety Guards, Overload Protection | Full compliance with international machinery safety standards. |
Q: What is the primary advantage of using a dedicated machine over manual forming tools for double jacketed gaskets?
A: Manual forming relies heavily on operator skill, leading to inconsistencies in crimp tightness, angle, and pressure. These inconsistencies can cause uneven bolt loading during flange assembly, creating potential leak paths. A dedicated machine like the Kaxite Sealing KX-DJG series applies precise, repeatable force and geometry every time. This ensures each gasket has uniform metal-to-metal contact and optimal filler compression, resulting in a reliable, leak-free seal that performs predictably under cycling conditions.
Q: Can your machine handle different types of metal jacket materials?
A: Yes, absolutely. Our machine is engineered to form a wide range of ductile metals commonly used for jacketing. This includes Austenitic Stainless Steels (304, 304L, 316, 316L), Carbon Steel, Copper, Aluminum, Nickel Alloys (Inconel 600, Monel 400), and Titanium. The hydraulic pressure and forming speed are fully adjustable via the PLC to accommodate the different yield strengths and spring-back characteristics of these materials. We provide initial parameter settings for common materials and assist in optimizing settings for specialized alloys.
Q: How does the machine accommodate different filler thicknesses and densities?
A: The machine's forming head applies pressure primarily to the metal jacket. The gap between the forming rollers is calibrated to account for the combined thickness of the jacket and the filler material. The soft filler is compressed as the metal is formed around it. Our HMI interface allows operators to store different "recipes" for various filler types (e.g., low-density graphite vs. high-density PTFE). These recipes automatically adjust the machine's tension and final crimp closure to ensure the filler is fully encapsulated without being over-compressed or damaged.
Q: What is the typical lead time for delivery and installation?
A: Standard models of the Kaxite Sealing Machine for Double Jacketed Gaskets typically have a lead time of 8-10 weeks from order confirmation to ex-works delivery. This includes manufacturing, assembly, and comprehensive factory testing. Installation and commissioning timelines vary based on customer site readiness but generally require 3-5 working days with our technical engineer present. We provide detailed site preparation guidelines in advance to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process.
Q: Does Kaxite Sealing offer training for our operators?
A: Yes, operator training is a critical part of our service. We provide on-site training during the commissioning phase, covering safe machine operation, routine maintenance, troubleshooting common issues, and how to program new gasket size recipes into the PLC. We also supply comprehensive digital manuals and instructional videos. Additionally, our technical support team is available remotely for ongoing assistance, ensuring your team remains confident and productive in using the equipment.
Q: Can the machine produce both spiral-wound and jacketed gaskets with filler?
A: Our KX-DJG series is specifically optimized for the forming and crimping process required for traditional double jacketed gaskets, where a pre-formed metal channel is filled and then closed. It is not designed to wind the metal strip as a spiral wound gasket machine does. For facilities that produce both types, Kaxite Sealing offers distinct, purpose-built machines for each gasket style to guarantee the highest quality and production efficiency for each product line.
Q: What maintenance does the machine require?
A: The machine is designed for robust, low-maintenance operation. Key routine maintenance includes periodic checking and topping up of hydraulic fluid, lubrication of guide rails and moving parts as per the schedule, inspection of forming dies for wear, and ensuring electrical connections remain tight. The PLC system includes diagnostic functions to alert operators to potential issues. We provide a full maintenance schedule and checklist, and spare parts for wear items are readily available from Kaxite Sealing to minimize potential downtime.
