• Pulp & Paper: Handling abrasive slurries and aggressive chemicals in the papermaking process.

Seal Types & Materials:

We offer a wide range of mechanical seal types to suit diverse applications:

• Single-Spring Seals: Simple and cost-effective for low-pressure applications.
• Double-Spring Seals: Provide superior performance for high-pressure and demanding applications.
• Cartridge Seals: Pre-assembled units for easy installation and replacement.
• Magnetic Drive Seals: Leak-free sealing without shaft penetration for highly corrosive or hazardous fluids.

Our seals are manufactured using high-quality materials including:

• Carbon: Excellent wear resistance and chemical compatibility.
• Silicon Carbide (SiC): Extremely hard and wear-resistant for demanding applications.
• Tungsten Carbide (WC): Superior wear resistance and high-temperature capabilities.
• Elastomers (e.g., Viton, Buna-N): Provide flexibility and sealing capability for various media.
• Stainless Steel: High corrosion resistance and strength.

Selecting the Right Mechanical Seal:

Choosing the appropriate mechanical seal depends on several factors including:

• Fluid properties: Viscosity, temperature, pressure, corrosiveness, and abrasiveness.
• Shaft speed and diameter: Influences seal design and material selection.
• Operating conditions: Temperature, pressure, and other environmental factors.
• Mounting configuration: The specific design of the equipment where the seal will be installed.
