The Vulcassette Custom Sealing Solution

Vulcassette: A Custom Sealing Solution for Arduous Industrial Applications

Engineered for demanding industrial applications, the Vulcassette custom sealing solution overcomes the limitations of traditional multi-spring mechanical seals. From abrasive sludge and chemical slurries to high-viscosity food products, the Vulcassette sealing solution withstands extreme conditions, delivering superior durability and efficiency across a broad range of industrial applications.

Identifying Core Issues Found in Traditional Mechanical Seals

In a wide range of industrial applications, cartridge mechanical seals using multi-spring technology in pumps can struggle when handling challenging media which may contain, amongst others, viscous, slurry, sticky and abrasive particulates.

The in-motion mechanical seal components can quickly become blocked, disrupting the proper alignment of the sealing surfaces and causing premature leakage.

Consequently, this results in unexpected downtime and increased maintenance expenses due to the need for frequent pump disassemblies and mechanical seal repairs or replacements.

The Innovative Approach of the Vulcassette Custom Sealing Solution

The Vulcassette custom sealing solution eliminates the need for traditional springs to energise the primary sealing surfaces. By removing these conventional components, the design significantly reduces the number of surfaces where particulates can accumulate, thus minimising the risk of clogging. This streamlined approach not only simplifies the mechanical seal design, but also enhances reliability by lowering the potential for blockages in challenging applications and media.

Furthermore, the innovative design offers a self-adjusting mechanism that enables the seal faces to automatically realign after minor disturbances or obstructions. This ensures a consistent, leak-proof operation, even under varying conditions, ultimately reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance requirements. By addressing common operational challenges, this breakthrough technology provides a robust and efficient solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
