A mechanical seal is simply a method of containing fluid within a vessel (typically pumps, mixers, etc.) where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing or occasionally, where the housing rotates around the shaft.
Bearing Isolators: An Expert Guide
It has long been recognized that as many as 91% of all the rolling element bearings installed in the world’s machinery fall short of reaching the manufacturer’s calculated L-10 life.
Why Use Mechanical Seals?
A question that comes up often is, “why should I use mechanical seals instead of packing when packing is cheaper?”.
Water Conservation in the Brewing Industry
Brewing companies face an ongoing challenge to reduce the amount of water consumed in their processes and must constantly seek new ways of achieving, and surpassing, their environmental impact targets.
How to reduce the cost of pump bearings
