Inflatable Seals Membramatic®

Inflatable seals are an easy solution for sealing applications under vacuum and pressure for small to large gap.

They absorb constructional irregularities and deformations of the various surfaces to ensure sealing. 

They are also a solution for clamping, pressing, gripping, or handling device. Based on simple, safe and effective technology.
