Overview
Restoring manway seals without replacement
The elliptical manway facing machine restores damaged gasket sealing faces, whether elliptical or round. It works on site, so corroded manway seals can be resurfaced without grinding or replacing the part.
The machine covers three manway sizes: 12 x 16 in, 14 x 18 in and 18 x 24 in. Single-point tooling produces a smooth, gasket-ready finish, and optional custom guide tracks extend on-site resurfacing to corroded manway seals.
Electric or air drive is available to suit the job, and setup is quick.
