Pump Air Seal System for Slurries



Slurry sealing poses some of the harshest environments for seals. A new pump air seal system for centrifugal pumps withstands many conditions that can kill pumps and seals, including:

  • Pipe strain
  • Misalignment
  • Off-BEP operation
  • Cavitation

This complete system includes a split air seal, two shaft-supporting bushings, and a lantern ring. The system also won a 2020 Breakthrough Product Award from Processing.

Take a look at the video below to it in operation!
