CV Line End Seal Gasket for Cable Manufacturing (Gses)

On a CV line making XLPE power cable, the curing tube is kept under pressure while the cable passes through it, so the points where the cable enters and leaves the tube need a seal that grips the moving cable without damaging it. Gala's CV gasket is a consumable seal for that job.

The gasket is a moulded elastomer part in orange-red: a shallow cone rising from a flat outer flange to a large central opening. The flange carries six 9 mm bolt holes at 60 degree spacing and is bolted into the steel flange at the entry or exit of the curing tube; the cable passes through the centre of the cone. By holding the cable tight during production runs, the gasket keeps the curing pressure at the set level and reduces loss of process water or gas. It is used on both water-cooled and gas-cooled lines.

Gala describes the seal as long-lasting, resistant to abrasion, able to withstand high temperature and pressure, easy to handle and harmless to the cable's insulation and sheath surface.

Two sizes are made, GSES-1 S (180 mm overall) and GSES-1 (255 mm overall). The buyers are power cable manufacturers and CV line operators who replace these seals as wear parts. Gala is an ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified manufacturer.
