Innovative Mechanical Seals on display

NEWS RELEASE

Mumbai; 20 March 2009; General Seals has been almost solely focused on the shipping industry for many years. Senior CBI expert Peter van der Sman audited the company for exports to the European Union. According to him the company has transformed itself into a successful manufacturer of mechanical seals for many more applications now.
Van der Sman feels the constant drive for modernization and up-gradation paid off for General Seals. Reason for CBI, a Dutch government agency promoting imports from developing countries, to invite General Seals to exhibit on their pavilion during the next Achema exhibition in Frankfurt. This exhibition is held from 11 – 15 May in the Messe Frankfurt.

Cartridge Seals
Amongst the seals on display in Frankfurt are the cartridge mechanical seals. ‘Design is sturdy’, according to managing director, Mr. Iyer, ‘so it can withstand severe operational conditions’. Slurry pump sealing is one of the main applications. The seals can be made independent of the direction of rotation and in accordance with all international standards, such as; Viz. ISO 21049/ API 682 / EN-12756 / DIN 24960

Advanced Mechanical Seals
Higher shaft run-outs (up to 3mm) and axial play (up to 1.5 mm) are main features of the Advanced Mechanical Seals, also on display in Frankfurt. They are used for mixers and agitators, pressure vessels and glass-lined reactors. The seals maintain contact, also under extreme operating conditions, as they have self-aligning seal faces.
Large cooling passages with the unique baffle plate arrangement for efficient barrier-fluid circulation are in place. They work independent from the direction of rotation.

Bellow Seals
General Seals produces Metal Bellow Seals for High Temperature Applications conforming to API 682 and ISO 24960. Micro plasma welding is used for the bellows to prevent heat damage. The bellows are made of 316L, Hastelloy C, Titanium, Inconel or Monel. The face of the seal is normally made of carbon, TC or SIC.

Next to Metal Bellow seals, Teflon bellow seals are also produced with seal faces made of carbon, glass filled Teflon or ceramics. These seals are resistant to a wide variety of corrosives such as acids and alkalies.
