Mixer Vs Pump Mechanical Seals Germany, UK, USA, Italy, Greece,USA
There are many different types of equipment that require sealing a rotating shaft passing through a stationary housing. Two common examples are pumps and mixers (or agitators). While the basic principles of sealing different equipment are similar, there are distinctions that require different sol...Read more -
A New Way of force balancing mechanical seals
pumps are one of the largest users of mechanical seals. As the name suggests, mechanical seals are contact-type seals, differentiated from aerodynamic or labyrinth non-contact seals. Mechanical seals are also characterized as balanced mechanical seal or unbalanced mechanical seal. This refers to ...Read more -
Choosing the right split cartridge mechanical seal
Split seals are an innovative sealing solution for environments where it may be difficult to install or replace conventional mechanical seals, such as hard to access equipment. They are also ideal for minimising costly downtime for assets critical to production by overcoming the assembly and disa...Read more -
Why don’t good seals wear out?
We know that a mechanical seal is supposed to run until the carbon wears down, but our experience shows us this never happens with the original equipment seal that came installed in the pump. We buy an expensive new mechanical seal and that one doesn’t wear out either. So was the new seal a waste...Read more -
Mechanical seal maintenance options to successfully reduce maintenance costs
The pump industry relies on expertise from a large and varied range of specialists, from experts in particular pump types to those with an intimate understanding of pump reliability; and from researchers who delve into the particulars of pump curves to experts in pump efficiency. To draw upon the...Read more -
how to select the right material for mechaical shaft seal
Choosing the material for your seal is important as it will play a role in determining the quality, lifespan and performance of an application, and reducing problems in the future. Here, we take a look at how the environment will affect seal material selection, as well as some of the most common ...Read more -
How to Respond to Mechanical Seal Leakage in a Centrifugal Pump
In order to understand centrifugal pump leakage, it’s important to first understand the basic operation of a centrifugal pump. As the flow enters through the impeller eye of the pump and up the impeller vanes, the fluid is at a lower pressure and low velocity. When the flow passes through the vol...Read more -
Are You Choosing the Right Mechanical Seal for Your Vacuum Pump?
Mechanical seals can fail for many reasons, and vacuum applications present particular challenges. For example, certain seal faces exposed to vacuum can become starved of oil and less lubricious, increasing the likelihood of damage in the presence of already low lubrication and high heat soak fro...Read more -
Seal Selection Considerations – Installing High Pressure Dual Mechanical Seals
Q: We will be installing high pressure dual mechanical seals and are considering using a Plan 53B? What are the considerations? What are the differences between the alarm strategies? Arrangement 3 mechanical seals are dual seals where the barrier fluid cavity between the seals is maintained at a...Read more -
Five secrets to selecting a good mechanical seal
You can install the best pumps in the world, but without good mechanical seals, those pumps won’t last long. Mechanical pump seals prevent fluid leaks, keep contaminants out, and can help save on energy costs by creating less friction on the shaft. Here, we reveal our top five secrets to selectin...Read more -
What is a pump shaft seal? Germany UK, USA, POLAND
What is a pump shaft seal? Shaft seals prevent liquid escaping from a rotating or reciprocating shaft. This is important for all pumps and in the case of centrifugal pumps several sealing options will be available: packings, lip seals, and all types of mechanical seals– single, double and t...Read more -
How to avoid pump mechanical seals failure in use
Tips to avoid seal leakage All seal leakages are avoidable with the proper knowledge and education. Lack of information prior to selecting and installing a seal is the primary reason for seal failure. Before purchasing a seal, make sure to look at all requirements for the pump seal: • How the sea...Read more
