TRANSPORT / STORAGE
Transport
If not specified differently by contract the BURGMANN standard packing is used
which is suitable for dry transport by truck, train or plane. The warning signs and
notes on the packing must be observed.
In addition seaworthy packing may become necessary.
Notes for income inspection:
•
Check packaging for visible damages.
•
Open packaging carefully. Do not damage or lose parts supplied separately.
•
Check if consignment is complete (delivery note). Inform the supplier immediately
in writing if parts are damaged or missing.
The mechanical seal has to be protected from damage during transport and storage.
The transport case in which the seal is supplied is well suited for this purpose and
should be kept for a possible return transport.
ATTENTION! If the machine as well as the mechanical seal installed into the machine
are transported together the shaft has to be protected from deflection and shocks.
Packing and storage
The following recommendations apply to all BURGMANN mechanical seals which
have been supplied and stored in their
undamaged original packaging , as well as
to seals which have been installed in a machine (e.g. pump, compressor, agitator,
etc.) but have not yet been put into operation.
BURGMANN mechanical seals and spare parts are super finished and repeatedly
tested machine elements. For the storage special conditions have to be followed.
Sliding materials and elastomers are subject to material-specific and time-based
alterations (distortion, ageing) which might reduce the full efficiency of the
mechanical seals. Yet, this may be avoided by observing the storage instructions.
For the stock keeping of elastomers special conditions are required. For all rubber-
elastic parts the rules of DIN 7716 resp. of ISO 2230-1973 (E) are valid.
