Joe Anderson, ReliabilityX The Seal Connect team recently caught up with Joe Anderson to discuss the challenges and rewards of maintaining rotating equipment and working with plant teams. Joe is…

A lantern ring is a perforated hollow ring located near the center of the stuffing box of a pump. Despite its simplistic appearance, it plays a crucial role in successfully…

Fluid Sealing School SEPCO recently hosted 20 distributors for its annual Fluid Sealing School (November 19 – 21, 2019). They learned about pump systems, rotating equipment and methods to seal…

Do you work in a paper mill? Do you experience frequent pulper leakage or gearbox failures? Perhaps combining sealing technologies should be your solution. According to a recent Pump &…

Because of their low friction, bushings for vertical turbine pumps (VTPs) reduce and control pump flow by restricting the fluid pumped by the impeller into the mechanical seal area. They…

We’ve gathered some of the top pulp and paper news stories from September, which include: determining if the delta variant of COVID-19 could create a paper shortage and a major…

A recent article published in Processing magazine (ProcessingMagazine.com) explored the ways that air seal technology helps processors move aggressive materials following catastrophic leaks, product loss, and asset failures. It also…

Back in December 2020, Processing Editor Jesse Osborne and SEPCO Regional Manager David Brewer discussed how to improve stuffing box reliability. The video below, originally on processing.com, details the basics…

Designed for centrifugal pumps, the air seal system for slurries is a complete seal system. With two shaft-supporting bushings and a lantern ring, the SAS-P is a noncontact tandem seal…

Mechanical seals prevent pumps from leaking by containing the pressure of the pumping process and withstanding the friction caused by the rotating shaft. The right seals provide reliable operation, less…
