Accroseal. This patented system eliminates leaks and the need for flush water, and also saves on the costs associated with maintenance and downtime.
The system forms its dry running seal by using two conical wedges to simultaneously seal the shaft compression ring to the shaft and expand the bore expansion ring to the bore. This effectively cuts off all leak paths. The RM injectable sealant accommodates any size shaft and bore with its self centring characteristics, and can be added while the pump is running. The entire system is not subject to catastrophic failure, thereby saving costly downtime.
In a typical pulp & paper mill, the process water temperature averages 160ยฐF while the average incoming flush water temperature in 60ยฐF. Since the RM-Accroseal eliminates the need for flush water, the need for seal water heating is also eliminated, thus saving steam costs. In addition, because of reduced shaft friction, less power is needed to drive the pump, reducing power consumption by up to 5%.
Applications include pulp & paper, chemical, food processing, waste water and mining industries.
