Kemet International Ltd is a globally recognised leader in precision lapping and polishing technology. With over 85 years of experience, the company has played a pivotal role in developing the surface finishing processes utilised by today’s mechanical seal and valve manufacturers.

Kemet Lapping Systems are deployed in Service Centres around the world. Whether in refineries, petrochemical plants, power stations, or oil platforms, Kemet stands out by providing a comprehensive suite of lapping machines and consumables essential for the precise finishing of mechanical seal and valve faces.

Kemet offers a comprehensive range of lapping machines designed for maintenance workshops, capable of replicating the precision processes used by seal and valve manufacturers. Their largest standard model can finish gate valves up to 1 metre in length, while smaller, transportable systems are based on the Kemet 15 Machine, a bench-mounted model capable of finishing seal faces up to 5 inches in diameter. Additionally, Kemet has developed a specialised lapping kit for Tyco, Crosby, and Anderson Greenwood pressure relief valves (PRVs) for pressure relief valve maintenance. This kit ensures valves are repaired correctly on the first attempt and includes all necessary components, such as diamond paste, lapping tools, and detailed instructions for effective and efficient lapping.

Kemet’s systems can process a variety of materials, including stainless steel, stellite, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, carbon, and ceramic, quickly and efficiently in a one-step operation. For on-site work and portability, a comprehensive range of hand lapping and polishing kits is also available.

In addition to their product offerings, Kemet provides lapping services with fast turnaround times, ensuring minimal downtime for maintenance and repairs.
