Application  Agitator Mechanical Seal

The Primary use for agitator mechanical seals are in industrial mixing and reaction equipment, where constant mixing requirement exists along with axial displacement and varying operating conditions, as typically seen in Chemical Reactor's, Pharmaceutical Mixing Tank's, Polymerisation Kettle's and Food Manufacturing Equipment. Top Entry Agitator system's mechanical seal function primarily to absorb the axial displacement and vibration that occurs during long or high-speed mixing applications. The mechanical seal also allows for the controlled movement of its seal faces while maintaining a consistent contact pressure on the seal face, thereby providing a steady operating condition for reaction and blending process's. The side Entry Agitator's mechanical seal for large storage/tank and process vessels, must be designed to withstand both axial and radial loads at the same time. In Bottom Mixing and Crystallisation, mechanical seals must be designed to address the issue of liquid static pressure, plus the presence of solid particles.

The mechanical seal for agitators offers a good solution to equipment that would otherwise require standard 'pump' mechanical seals. They can adapt to complex mechanical movements, and have the ability to function at a desired operating environment over a long period of time under controlled process environments.
