If your business uses industrial pumps, you may be wondering about the difference between packing and mechanical seals. Sure, packing might be cheaper and mechanical seals are a bit more complex, but there are some excellent reasons why mechanical seals are the superior option for your industrial pump. Why Industrial Pumps Need to Be Sealed
At C&B Equipment, we partner with the best so that we can offer our customers the best, and AESSEAL® is one of the best mechanical seal and support system manufacturers in the world. They manufacture several seal types, including cartridge mechanical seals, component seals, and gas seals. This article will focus on their cartridge mechanical
If your O-rings are not lasting as long as they should be, you must diagnose the problem. Here are seven common causes of O-ring failure.
All mechanical seals leak, but these leaks are referred to as managed leaks. Learn more about them here.
How do you know you’re purchasing the right seals for your oil and gas company? If you’re working in the oil and gas industry, you know your sealants need to withstand extreme temperatures, chemicals and wear. When you find the right product, it can be difficult to determine if the seals you’re researching are genuine.
Pharmaceutical production and medical packaging demand the highest levels of safety, cleanliness and efficiency. These processes often involve aggressive chemical environments and high temperatures that degrade ordinary seals. PTFE has been the material of choice, but it can creep and cold flow, which can lead to a loss of seal function. DuPont™ Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer (FFKM)
DuPont™ Kalrez®️ perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) parts are the gold standard for chemical resistance and high temperature stability. They offer reliable, long-term sealing performance in arduous applications and aggressive chemical environments where other seals fail. That technology doesn’t come cheap…at least not when it comes to the initial purchase price. You will pay more upfront for Kalrez®️
Compression set, chemical degradation, chemically induced swelling, and heat embrittlement are common causes of o-ring seal failure. Choosing the correct material is crucial to maintaining seal integrity. For the best chemical resistance in high temperatures, the gold standard is DuPont™ Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) parts. FFKM parts deliver outstanding thermal stability and excellent chemical resistance due

The primary task of a seal support system is to provide cooling and lubrication of mechanical seal faces, in order to reduce frictional heat. This is accomplished through a controlled flow of clean, cool water or oil, or, where processes cannot tolerate contamination by water or oil barrier fluids, by an inert gas (e.g. air
