During industrial processing operations, every mechanical seal application experiences its own unique set of challenges, including:
Inadequate seal face lubrication,
High heat generation
Dry-running conditions.
These issues can cause leakage, unplanned equipment downtime and even catastrophic equipment failure, negatively impacting operations and profitability. Mean time between repair (MTBR) intervals for mechanical shaft seals can occur frequently in these harsh conditions, which means maintenance costs go up and equipment run-time goes down.
