Do mechanical seals belong in a pump stuffing box?
Do mechanical seals provide the best longivity inside an area meant for packing?
|
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
|
We have all seen plenty of mechanical seals introduced to the market
over the last few years. ZM Technologies has introduced a truly new mechanical
seal for centrifugal
pumps. This is a new concept in cartridge mechanical seals.
This
cartridge seal is not a modification or a duplicate of any
seal on the market. The ZN Seal has a unique approach
to seal installation, design, and repair. Different Repair Kits are available to suit every purpose.
This seal bolts OUTSIDE the stuffing box which allows for better cooling, better lubrication, and superior performance than the competition.

ZM Technologies has introduced a truly new mechanical
seal for Goulds and Durco®
pumps. This is a new concept in cartridge mechanical seals.
This patented
cartridge seal is not a modification or a duplicate of any
seal on the market. The ZA Seal has a unique approach
to seal installation, design, and repair.
Designed from a clean slate, the ZA seal is a No Stuffing Box Seal. This allows for better cooling, better lubrication, and superior performance than the competition. The tapered gland design allows the seal to operate for an extended time without the need for a flush of any kind.

ZM Technologies has introduced a truly new cartridge double
seal for centrifugal pumps. The double/tandem design is built for mild to extreme applications.
The ZND Seal has a unique approach
to seal installation, design, and repair. Different Repair Kits are available to suit every purpose.
There are many unique feaures: the double cartridge seal uses a standard bi-directional pumping ring, which allows for half the water consumption of other double seals; an inner cartridge design allows for ease of repair and a quick change to different seal materials; the outer seal is designed to operate under full product pressure.
|
The unique features are as follows:
|
|
Seal
is installed through the front of the back plate. Unlike all other
seals that bolt to the back of the stuffing box, our seal eliminates
the stuffing box entirely.
|
The benefits of the stuffing box redesign
is a simpler installation (no longer need to remove the stuffing box
to install the seal), and more clearances for better lubrication and
cooling.
|
|
The
seal design is simple in concept and simple to manufacture. The result
is that the seal is inexpensive and repair cost is minimal as well.
|
The simple design allows for easy repair in the field, requiring little
time and minimum experience to repair a ZMT seal. |
The major benefit to this proven concept is better cooling and lubrication, and
as a result better seal life and performance when compared to any competition.
Standard pump stuffing boxes have little room for seals - as a result a seal runs HOT. Remember . . . . . . . Heat Kills.
