Conventional Packing is often considered an easy solution to sealing a pump, but most often its the opposite (more on this in a future post). For a truly simple way to convert to a mechanical seal, look no further than our Type C2 Single Cartridge Seal - Specifically designed to replace Conventional Packing and Component Seals.
Why convert to this Cartridge Mechanical Seal?
- Modular Design : Install and Remove as a complete unit
- 2-Piece Gland : 2 bolt gland fits most stuffing boxes
- Hydraulically Balanced Design : Less power consumption; Operate at higher speeds and pressures
- Non-Shaft Fretting : Will not fret or damage the pump shaft
- Material Options : Wide range of Seal Face and O-Ring materials to suit most any application
- Field Rebuildable Design : Save $$ with a Seal Rebuild Kit vs. buying complete new seal
Recent years have brought many legislative changes and environmental considerations to all levels of plant operations. Added to this are current economic challenges in finding cost savings any where possible.
Packed Pumps have costs that mostly go unnoticed.
- Continuous Leaks = wasted money in product or clean flush water
- Power Consumption = wasted money b/c packing increases HP draw vs. mechanical seal
- Increased Maintenance = wasted time to adjust packing leakage on each pump
- Health & Safety = wasted time to keep equipment and area clean from package leakage
- Material Cost = wasted money b/c packing is like toilet paper - you'll never stop buying it
Whether you have one or fifty packed pumps in your operation, this simple change will have a quick ROI. Contact us if a packing to seal conversion sounds interesting - we are here to help.
