Mechanical seals are usually installed on pumps and mixers and are intended to prevent fluid leakage (liquid or gaseous) through the gap between the shaft and the fluid reservoir.

Some of the advantages of sealing with mechanical seals over the use of packing are:

• no “visible” leak (seals leak minimal amounts of steam)
• energy savings
• water saving
• protection of the living and working environment
• protection of working fluid in sensitive industries from possible harmful effects of the working environment
• prevention of shaft damage
• simpler and cheaper regular maintenance
• reduced contamination of bearings in normal operation
• plant equipment is less exposed to corrosion
• This technology can also close the vacuum
• savings due to less need to clean the work environment

Our partner Fluiten Italy, that is a renowned designer and manufacturer of mechanical seals, thanks to the flexible structure enables the shortening of project development time and adaptation to the real needs of each standard model.

Fluiten’s mechanical seals were developed on the results of their own research carried out by a close collaboration between their research and development department and the technical department.

Innovation, precision and quality of production characterize these mechanical seals that are widely used in the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food, energy and marine industries.
