The use of an AESSEAL^® CDPH^™ double mechanical seal is saving more than €280,000 (almost $300,000) a year in energy costs for an alumina producer in the Republic of Ireland.

An Austrian steel mill is set to save more than €400,000 a year following the installation of AESSEAL ES DMAX seals. The company was operating six pumps, each containing two seals.

The repeated failures of a single seal with an unreliable Plan 32 were causing a heavy-duty high head slurry pump at a South Wales steelworks to break down on average every three weeks.

A seal conversion kit for the Warman® AH Range of Ultra Heavy Duty Slurry Pumps helped to solve a variety of problems being experienced by a Spanish aluminium producer.

The lip seals in use at a north of England glass manufacturer were wearing out after just a few weeks, resulting in a complete loss of oil in the gearbox and causing the gears to seize up.

A major steel producer in South Africa were experiencing unacceptable leakage and reliability with one of their lime slurry pumps.

A major integrated zinc / lead smelter company in Canada was unhappy with the performance of the existing mechanical seal.

A major manufacturer in the UK were having reliability issues with the seal on a critical Labour chemical pump used to pump caustic solution.

Upgrading from gland packing to a dual seal and system helps eliminate seal failure due to inconsistent water supply.
