Transform Operations with SEPCO’s Double Grease Seal (DGS)
Introduction
In the dynamic landscape of industrial sealing solutions, SEPCO’s Double Grease Seal (DGS) represents a significant advancement, offering a robust alternative to traditional liquid double seals. This cartridge-mounted unit is engineered to operate efficiently without the need for a clean liquid flush from the product or an external source, such as water or another lubricant.
Operational Benefits of SEPCO DGS
Cost-Efficiency and Environmental Consideration
Unlike conventional double seals that require extensive support systems, including convection tanks and mounting stands, the SEPCO DGS eliminates the need for such additional infrastructure. This reduces the upfront investment and significantly lowers ongoing operational costs by avoiding the need for clean and cool flush water or other external barrier fluids.
Preventing Product Dilution
A pivotal advantage of the SEPCO DGS is its ability to prevent product dilution—a critical factor in applications where purity is essential. This feature is especially beneficial when handling abrasive slurries, where maintaining the integrity of the product is paramount.
Low Maintenance and Operational Simplicity
The SEPCO DGS offers a streamlined approach that is particularly advantageous to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and operators who may not have the capacity to closely supervise seal maintenance and operation. Compared to liquid double seals, the DGS is designed for easier setup and requires minimal attention, significantly reducing maintenance efforts.
Versatile Application and Automatic Lubrication
SEPCO also provides an automatic greaser for added convenience, compatible with fourteen-ounce tubes of FDA or non-FDA grease, as well as options for five-gallon pails of grease. Field use of the DGS has shown that the average grease usage is just two ounces per month during continuous operation, underscoring its efficiency.
Proven Success Across Industries
The DGS has been successfully implemented in a variety of challenging applications, from large chocolate factories and zinc processors to carpet adhesive foamers and slurry pumps. Its proprietary design ensures optimal grease flow between the seal faces, maintaining necessary lubrication without contaminating the product. This unique feature sets the SEPCO DGS apart from competitor seals, providing reliable performance where it matters most.
Conclusion
SEPCO’s Double Grease Seal is a testament to innovative engineering designed to enhance operational reliability and reduce maintenance costs across diverse industrial settings. Its ability to operate without external flush systems not only simplifies the sealing process but also provides a greener, more cost-effective solution.
