Sealing System Replaces Mechanical Seals

Sealing System Replaces Mechanical Seals Garlock Sealing Technologies has developed the leak-free, no-dilution Hydra-Justt sealing system. The system replaces mechanical seals in virtually any industrial pumping application. It is especially suited to hostile, abrasive environments and eliminates the risk of catastrophic failure. It is a rotary shaft sealing system . Unlike mechanical seals and packing, it does not use water to lubricate seal surfaces.It forms and maintains a bearing relationship to the shaft face in the seal chamber while preventing the process media from migrating into the stuffing box. This design creates a radial bearing-to-face seal, which is less expensive than traditional mechanical seals.Further, its cool, dry, no-dilution operation significantly reduces water consumption. 'Success in this business is all about solving problems, and Garlock has created a solution that's better than packing or mechanical seals', says Michael Faulkner, Senior Product Manager for Garlock.'Customer response has been fantastic'.'We've delivered a truly leak-free rotary seal with unmatched abrasion and chemical resistance - and incredible water efficiency'. Requiring no start-up adjustments or special installation equipment, the Hydra-Justt sealing system can be installed in less than one hour, compared to at least 2.5 to 3 hours for mechanical seals.
