Seals

HI Pump FAQs

The practice of insulating over metallic expansion joints to minimize heat loss in a piping system may be common, but it is not a good idea to follow this same practice with rubber expansion joints. ...

Because of the substantial concentrations of solids that these pumps handle, end users must understand the available sealing options.

Two sets of seals, in service for 11 and 15 years, still meet baseline standards.

The facility replaced old grinder pumps with stainless steel shredder pumps, which have needed no maintenance in almost two years.

These recommendations can help end users prevent equipment degradation in pulp and paper applications.

End users will consistently purchase these critical wear components.

Performing maintenance tasks correctly the first time has become increasingly important to end users. Today’s end users are tasked with doing more work with less time, fewer resources and smaller...

Abrasive processing and wide temperature range are some of the pumping difficulties for high-performance liquid chromatography.

Appropriate equipment selection and best-practice maintenance procedures can make a difference in reliability, service life and production.

The construction, seals and protective monitoring contribute to the motor’s ability to operate in and under water.

This equipment eliminated a SAG copper mill gearbox’s maintenance issues resulting from contact lip seals that had a short and unreliable service life.

Avoid these root causes of seal failure.

Inadequate lubrication and dirt do not prevent multiphase pumps from operating efficiently when using diamond-faced mechanical seals.
