Down Time Is A Thing Of The Past
First Seal brings you a new solution for meeting challenges with slurry bearing problems that combines the best elements of design from labyrinth seals, and expeller seals.
The XPEL-IT seal protects against leakages on two fronts, with a lip seal backed up by the secondary labyrinth design. This provides facilities of all types with a safer, more effective, and more economical way of dealing with slurry bearing issues.
How XPEL-IT Seal Protects Pump Bearings
This mechanical seal has a built-in expeller that propels slurry and slurry particles, as well as water, prior to them entering the second chamber of the seal. The second chamber includes a built-in lip seal that seals all liquids bypassing the expeller.
If any liquids get past the lip seal, the Xpel-It has a close tolerance labyrinth design which ensures a path to the bearings that makes leakage difficult, while simultaneously retaining the grease or oil in the bearing frame. This, in turn, provides protection from slurry water and other contaminants that may cause premature bearing failure, since the pathway between the rotor and stator contains a channel that effectively traps all contaminants.
Why choose XPEL-IT?
- Easy to install
- No Modifications required
- Inexpensive
- Drastically reduces downtime
- Ensures that pumps and bearings last longer
- Saves the pump therefore reduces wear on pump parts
- Ensure water/slurry does not reach bearings
