Product Description: Design Feature • Large solid shaft size for heavy duty performance with minimal bearing overhang, provides superior resistance to deflection and increase lifetime of the mechanical seal. • Heavy duty cast iron construction bearing bracket with enlarge oil reservoir for better dissipation of heat. • Clearance adjusting screw make open impeller close and running clearance adjustments easy and accurate to extend pump performance life. • Standard single-acting mechanical seal is generally employed. Dynamic sealing and gland packing system fitted with shaft sleeve also available on request. • Bull eye sight glass for easy accurate monitoring of oil level and condition.
Dynamic Sealing On some tough pumping services like paper stock and slurries, mechanical seals require outside flush and constant, costly attention. Even then, seal failures are common, resulting in downtime. KS-SE3 offers a Dynamic Seal which, simply by fitting a expeller between sealing chamber and impeller, eliminates the need for a mechanical seal. • Advantages - External seal water not required - Elimination of pump contamination and product dilution - Reduces utility cost - No need to treat seal water - Eliminate problems associated with piping from a remote source - Adjustable shaft sleeve design enables the shaft sleeve to be used up to five cycles longer thus saving significant maintenance cost and down time
Working Principle During start-up, expeller acts like an impeller, removing liquid and solids from the sealing chamber. When the pump is stationary, V-Seal or other type of secondary seal prevents pump from leaking.
