Benefits
- No gapping
Sized specifically to each tank and constructed from custom-hardened stainless steel to ensure tension will hold up year after year, the HMT Flex-A-Seal will maintain a tight seal over time. - Long life
All HMT pressure-application components are made from custom-hardened stainless steel to prevent yielding under load, ensuring spring longevity and long-lasting seal performance. - Excellent weather shedding
The HMT Flex-A-Seal features a wiper tip that conforms tightly to the tank shell, minimizing ingress of rainwater into the stored product. - Capable of being installed in service
Bolt-mounted design means no hot work is required.
Design features
Hardened steel pressure components
Custom-hardened steel will not fatigue over time, maintaining proper sealing pressure against the tank shell and preventing gaps over the life of the seal.
Continuous vapour barrier under compression plates
Flex-A-Seal uses a continuous fabric vapour barrier under the compression plates, providing significantly better seal integrity than systems that rely on gaskets between plates.
Narrow compression plates
The HMT Econo-Flex has narrow compression plates for excellent flexibility and conformation to tank shell deviations, but also to reduce wiper tip wear versus compression plate systems with wider plates, which concentrate tip pressure at the overlaps and create uneven wear.
Best-in-class vapor barriers
Premium fabric options ensure optimal product compatibility and life span, even including flame-retardant PTFE options compliant with DIN 22118 standard. We offer a variety of fabric choices depending on your service requirements. Our standard PTFE fabrics are laminated and unsurpassed in terms of durability, impermeability, and service life. HMT’s fabrics will wear extremely well in even the most aggressive services.
Sized to fit the tank
Every tank shell is unique, and it is critical that seals are designed to address specific edge spaces. HMT's engineering and automated manufacturing allows each seal to be manufactured exactly to the customer's edge space and/or verticality data, ensuring optimum performance and minimising the risk of operational issues over time.
