Failure of stuffing box seals can be costly to rectify and lead to high consumption and contamination of the system oil. In this article the contamination of crankcase system oils with cylinder oil drainings and combustion products on long-stroke crosshead engines is discussed. The company MBTSealing Technology has developed synthetic sealing rings, which counter these problems while also lowering the friction losses in the engine. Synthetic seals do not require lubrication and can work in stuffing boxes. The function and the structure of non metallic scrapers and seal rings are described
