Reliable mechanical seals for the marine industry

At sea, every voyage counts. With little margin for error, the reliability of your propulsion systems can put millions of dollars at stake. Roplan’s engineered seals make operating seamless and costly downtime a problem of the past. Our long history and understanding of marine applications are what make Roplan your partner of choice.

Where there’s a vessel, there’s a waterjet, thruster or propeller moving it forward. Our mechanical seals are specifically engineered for your equipment to maximize efficiency and minimize failure, emissions and dockings. For decades, we have partnered with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to serve the demands of coastguard, commercial, navy, shipping and passenger vessels.

Increasing uptime of mission-critical systems

Extreme vibration levels. Constant movement. Abrasion and corrosive attacks. Your propulsion systems and their components need to withstand the most extreme environments. At Roplan, we’ve engineered solutions for these exact demands – proven over 20 years. 

Our engineered design comprises hard-wearing interfaces and EAL-compatible materials. We’ve installed them in countless waterjets, swing and tunnel thrusters and propellers for ships of all sizes. But what makes each one different is its custom design for the most unique challenges. Our mechanical seals comply with the latest environmental standards and prevent the costs of oil leaks. 

A partner you can rely on

When you work with Roplan, you have a trusted supplier for life. Our services extend from design and development to training and technical support. We understand the industry’s sealing challenges, so we engineer mechanical seals fit for you – not for anyone else. 

We’re passionate about our clients’ success and work with them, not against them. That’s why we give you total aftermarket control – to help you grow and strengthen your customer relationships. This offering is distinctly Roplan – you won’t find service like this elsewhere.
