Techné's engineering department participates in the design of custom seals that meet the specific needs and applications of clients. From validating a seal design to fully developing a custom seal based on defined specifications, the scope of work is extensive. During the development of a custom seal, Techné offers a specific process that can include multiple stages: Selection of materials based on client requirements Definition of the shape, appropriate surface roughness, dimensions, and tolerances of the custom seal by the engineering department Numerical simulation using finite element analysis Final drawing elaboration Prototype tool manufacturing Design and fabrication of the testing bench Endurance testing in various fluids Validation of prototypes and initiation of serial production Process For the manufacturing of its custom seals, Techné offers different production processes depending on project specifications: For large-scale production, moulding (either by injection or compression) provides high production capacity. Compression moulding is preferred for parts requiring high precision. It is suitable for small, medium, and large production runs. Créat, a subsidiary of the Techné Group specialized in French-made seals, also manufactures custom parts in a wide range of blends (materials approved for the aerospace sector, FFKM, food-grade blends, USP Class VI blends, etc.). Materials Techné develops its own blends upon customers' requests to address specific challenges. These materials can then be certified: food-grade, medical-grade, potable water, etc.
