Maintenance
A correctly operated mechanical seal needs low maintenance . Wear parts, however,
have to be replaced, if necessary.
A duly operation includes a regular check of the following parameters:
•
Temperature
•
Leakage (drainage) rate of the mechanical seal
An inspection of the mechanical seal should be carried out during a revision of the
complete plant. We recommend to have this inspection be performed by responsible
BURGMANN personnel.
If the mechanical seal is removed during a revision of the plant it has to be replaced
by a new one.
Directives in case of failure
Try to define the kind of failure and record it.
!
In the event of excessive leakage , note changes in the leakage amount and
switch the pump off if necessary.
"
If a constant amount is leaking in a steady flow, the mechanical seal is damaged.
!
In the event of a inadmissible temperature rise , the machine has to be stopped
for safety reasons.
If there is a malfunction which you cannot correct on your own, or if the cause of
malfunction is not clearly recognisable please immediately contact the nearest
BURGMANN agency , a BURGMANN service centre or the BURGMANN
headquarters.
During the warranty period the BURGMANN mechanical seal must only be
disassembled with approval of the manufacturer or when a representative is present.
