　　The life expectancy of mechanical seals has increased significantly in the past couple decades, with improvements in the MTBF increasing 50% in the last 10 years alone. But even when mechanical seals are properly designed, selected and installed, they can still fall short of optimal life expectancy by operating outside the intended operating environment.

　　A Comprehensive Approach to Efficient Pumping Systems

　　While fluid sealing companies can provide replacements for worn and damaged mechanical seals and packing, if the operating conditions that caused seals to deteriorate faster than expected still exist, expect to be spending money on replacement parts again soon.

　　The most common waste of energy in pumping systems is the use of pumps that aren’t properly sized for the operation. When an industrial pump operates outside its Best Efficiency Point (BEP), excessive throttling of the pump flow occurs, with resulting vibration causing damage to (and shortening the life expectancy of) the mechanical fluid seals and packing. Not only is costly energy wasted, but labor and material costs increase with more frequent seal failure.

　　A Mechanical Seal Solution

　　A thorough consultation with an industry professional can address and eliminate much of this inefficiency. By determining your particular operational needs, an expert consultant can recommend the best pumps, pump seals, shaft support, mechanical seals and packing for your specific industrial application. You can save big money by making your operations more efficient.
