Product Portfolio
  • Expert in mechanical seals

    • To select the appropriate mechanical seal, it is necessary to know the operating conditions of the application that is to be sealed: shaft diameter and rotation speed, dimensions of the seal housing, physical characteristics of the fluids to be sealed, and in order to determine chemical compatibility; existence of abrasive suspended solids or permitted lubrication and the working temperature and pressure.
      Industrial sectors are all subject to increasingly strict regulations. It is very important to prevent the contamination of the processed products and ensure the safety of both the working staff and the equipment in all facilities. To that end, all used materials comply with the different sector-based regulations.

      Description

        • Cartridge seals

        • Cartridge seals have been designed to prevent errors in installation, reduce stopping times, prevent damage to other pump elements and reduce energy consumption.

              We currently operate in different sectors like food and beverages, pharmaceutical, chemical, water treatment, maritime, petrochemical, renewable energies, pump and agitator manufacturers and industrial maintenance.

                • Food and Beverages

                • The food sector has extremely strict regulations regarding the safety of its processes. It is important to use products made of materials that are chemically resistant (CIP or SIP processes) and which also comply with the different food sector regulations: FDA, CE 1935, NSF, etc.

                • Pharmaceutical

                • This sector requires automated, reliable processes to guarantee a standard product that has not been altered during any of the production phases. Using elements that ensure perfect sealing during all the manufacturing phase steps is of vital importance. The most appropriate mechanical seal design is a hygienic one, since it reduces the possibility of product remains being deposited and not eliminated during CIP/SIP processes, which could give rise to sources of contamination.

                • Chemical

                • In the chemical industry, the usual processes require sealing elements for materials with high chemical resistance. In order to transfer very aggressive or corrosive chemical fluids that are clean or that contain particles and have high viscosities, along with high temperatures and pressures, the mechanical seal materials and the type of assembly must be correctly defined: single, double, external or based on other API plans.
                  Furthermore, the applications require sealing systems that guarantee safety, preventing the leakage of corrosive or flammable products that could escape the atmosphere.
                • Waste recycling

                • Waste disposal means applying chemical treatments that can affect the mechanical seal materials. An adequate selection of materials will increase the life of the pumps and prevent unforeseen repairs and uncontrolled leaks that could harm the environment and endanger people.
                • Water treatment

                • During the different treatments to which water is subjected, the mechanical seals may come into contact with sediments, organic matter, dissolved substances such as calcium and magnesium (hard water), sulphate and carbon dioxide (acid water), manganese (sewage water), nitrates (water contaminated by fertilisers), etc.

                • Maritime sector

                • A wide range of mechanical seal designs exist for this type of marine pumps, which operate in especially difficult conditions with high salt concentrations (this parameter varies, depending on the sea), at high pressures, etc.

                  Within this scope, not only is it important to locate spare parts to make the repair, but it is also essential to select the right materials for the contact surfaces and metal parts of the seal. It is vital to determine a structure that permits easy mounting, increases the pump’s useful life and reduces maintenance costs.

                • Oil + gas + energy

                • In oil and gas plants, pumps, agitators and compressors are required to transport gases and liquids in a reliable manner. For this reason, mechanical seals that can withstand the extremely severe working conditions, high pressure and speed, are necessary. These must also have high durability, to prevent stoppages caused by unforeseen repairs.

                • Pulp and paper

                • To make paper, cellulose fibres are mixed with water, which gives rise to paste-like mixtures and products. This is why special assemblies are recommended:

                  • API plan with a double cartridge and tank (API 52, 54) to ensure the permanent lubrication of the contact surfaces.
                  • External assembly to prevent the blocking of springs and to make sure they are not blocked by paper or pulp paste.
                  • Internal assembly, with metal wave spring seals that, due to the geometry of their bellows, have a self-cleaning effect, thus preventing them from becoming blocked.
