The first rule of mechanical seal application is;
"Mechanical seals are only as good as the environment you put them in"
Everyone understands that you will struggle to drive a Formula One sports car on an off-road, dirt track. Equally, a 4x4 Jeep will not be the fastest car around a Grand Prix circuit.
Technology is only good if it is placed in a suitable environment and mechanical seals are no different!
Mechanical seals have one or more sets of seal faces that typically run on a fluid film. This fluid film is a micron gap that helps to lubricate and cool the mechanical seal faces, therefore helping to provide sealing longevity.
Seal support systems are a vital part of the high-end sealing solution for rotating equipment uptime.
Stanseals has a range of Seal Support Systems in 5L 12L, 20L and 28L (1.32, 3.17, 5.28 and 7.40 US Gals) sizes, that provide an ideal supply of cooling fluid to the mechanical seal faces, for ALL applications.
