Customer Gains with Reduced Service Calls and Field Complaints

Arempee Compressors is a manufacturer of air compressors in India. They were using metallic gaskets to seal the valve plate assembly to cylinder head in top block assembly of the compressors. Metallic gaskets are conventionally used in high temperature conditions. However, metallic gaskets do not create 100% sealing between mating surfaces and are expensive. Arempee Compressors were receiving field complaints of air amd oil leakage. This required frequent visits by their service engineers to attend to the complaints.
