Vulcan Seals’ custom design provided a groundbreaking solution for a global manufacturer facing severe slurry substance challenges on positive displacement pumps. This innovation significantly reduced clogging, pump downtime, and maintenance costs while enhancing overall system reliability.
Case Study Overview
A multinational manufacturer faced persistent issues with traditional cartridge mechanical seal designs that employed multi-spring technology on positive displacement pumps. The application involved a challenging slurry substance of fine, soft, sticky particles interspersed with cellulose-based fibres.
As a result, leakage occurred shortly after installation, leading to:
– Frequent pump downtime issues
– Increased maintenance costs
– Inefficiency in sealing performance
The Vulcan Seals Approach
Our technical engineering department introduced the Vulcassette solution, a groundbreaking design that completely removed the springs used to energise the primary seal surfaces.
