If you want to drastically improve the efficiency of your pump and reduce maintenance, the first thing to do is change your approach to maintaining your pump. Focus not just on the specialized equipment your plant uses, but focus on valves, pipes, and other crucial operational equipment.
Did you know that the most common source of wasted energy in pumping systems has to do with seals that weren’t properly sized for their applications? This causes throttling of the pump’s flow, and reduces efficiency.

Mechanical Seals for Agitators
HSMR34 and SeccoMix R are seals for every situation. Sealing technologies need to live up to the highest demands, especially for agitators with side and bottom entry drives, where the product literally presses down on the sealing gap.
EagleBurgmann has developed two series of modual mechanical seals to meet these unique requirements. HSMR34 is a liquid-lubricated and Seccomix R, a dry-running agitator seal. Both can easily cope with any installation situation,

Mechanical seals are perhaps one of the most underrated and unappreciated parts of pumps or machines. They ensure that pumps, for instance, do not leak, causing damage to the rest of the machine.
In general, mechanical seals contain the fluid within machines, like pumps and mixers, where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing. It prevents visible leaks from leaking. The thing is that machines do leak about ½ teaspoon of liquid each day. But this is normal as the machine captures

What is a split mechanical seal?
Splitex - A split seal by EagleBurgmann A mechanical seal is a device used to contain fluid within a vessel where a rotating shaft passes through housing, or sometimes where housing rotates around a shaft. These vessels are usually pumps, mixers, agitators, grinders, etc. The purpose of a mechanical seal is to allow the shaft to rotate freely without allowing large amounts of fluid to escape.
How is a split mechanical seal different from a component or cartridge seal?
A split seal comes in two separate pieces. Unlike ordinary cartridge mechanical seals, these two pieces can be installed or removed from around the shaft without disassembling the equipment. When joined, the sealing elements are mated to create a proper seal around the shaft.
When should a split mechanical seal be used?
