Mechanical Seals

Mechanical seals are the preferred sealing option for pump applications where leakage problems need to be avoided, especially in applications where liquid is hazardous. This is because mechanical seals are much more durable than gland packing and are able to withstand much more abrasive fluids. Mechanical seals use several sealing points and when fitted correctly it will eliminate all leakage, making them the best option to avoid leaks and ensure safety from dangerous fluid. Unlike gland packing, mechanical seals are much more durable and have a much longer lifespan, meaning that you don’t need to constantly check on the seal, wasting staff resources.
