The often-forgotten and crucial component in a pump system is the mechanical seal, which prevents fluid from leaking into the immediate environment. Leaking mechanical seals due to improper maintenance or higher-than-expected operating conditions can be a hazard, housekeeping issue, health concern, or even an EPA issue. It is important to implement practices and conditions to […]
One of the many reasons mechanical seals may need extra lubrication, include the high viscosity in certain fluids These pumps and mechanical seals may require the circulation of a clean fluid from an external seal flush. This process lubricates the inner and outer seal faces which separates the pumped fluid from entering the stationary housing […]
John Vorpagel (Anderson Process) and Mike Solso (Blackmer Gear Pumps, formerly EnviroGear Pumps) sit down to discuss mechanical seals, seal-less technology, and Envirogear® E Series Magnetically Coupled Seal-less Internal Gear Pumps in their first video series, “2 Guys Talk About Pumps”. Check out the first series of short videos below: Face it, Mechanical Seals are […]
