slide 2: WHY USE MECHANICAL SEALS
INSTEAD OF PACKING
slide 3: Two sealing technologies are prevalent pump packing
and mechanical seals. Engineers choose one of them
as per the needs and expectations in a particular
application.
Which one is more effective and efficient for your
agitator or pump application
In light of the improvements happened in the
mechanical sealing technology in recent years seals
are surely better than packing.
slide 4: The invention of cartridge and split mechanical
seals reduced the complication of installation.
Thus the time has come that operations should
come out of their preconceived notions and sheer
habits and adapt mechanical seals. It will reduce
operational overheads and provide a better return
for sure.
Based on applications budgets and operational
priorities mechanical seals are a better choice.
slide 5: SITUATIONS WHERE A MECHANICAL
SEAL IS THE RIGHT CHOICE
At times the mechanical seal is the only right sealing
option without any comparison.
Take an example where the pumped fluid has some
environmental or health or safety hazard. In such a case no
packing can assure 100 leak-free performance.
A double mechanical seal will make it 100 leak-proof and
safe. It will not allow even the leakage of invisible vapors as
well.
Here is a list of situations one must replace packing
with high-quality mechanical seals.
slide 6: 1 Reliability of the process: When reliability is the primary
aspect a mechanical seal is always the best choice. Even if the
investment is high it is worth in the long term. By choosing the
right seal vendor you can pick the most appropriate seal. Not only
that you get installation and maintenance support also.
2 Leakage loss is to be minimum: A standard packing has some
leakage always. It could be a lot if the application has a very costly
fluid. Remember a small leakage could cause tremendous loss if it
happens for many days weeks or months. Hence the best thing is
to switch to mechanical seals that are 100 safe and keep the
leaking loss to the minimum level.
3 When the maintenance is costly: Suppose you get the standard
packing system installation at a low cost but the maintenance
cost is high then it is not a value proposition. You should consider
a mechanical seal which requires almost zero maintenance cost.
slide 7: There are situations where the bearing fails earlier than
expected. You have to replace packing in such a situation even
if it is new. In a mechanical seal you will never have this
condition.
Thus a mechanical seal is a far better option than
conventional packing.
