SEALS
Open tank models
are supplied with an integral lip seal and bearing in the mounting plate. The
main purpose is to prevent any contaminants from running down the shaft into the tank and
keeping process fluid splash from contacting the drive. This seal may also be used to seal
atmospheric vapours.
Stuffing box seals
consist of six rings of packing and a lantern ring. Extreme care during
installation and operation is required if proper packing life is to be realized. The lantern ring
distributes lubricant to the packing during operation. Prior to operation, remove the relief plug, and
using lubricant which is compatible with the process fluid, pump the lube into the fitting until
lubricant is evident at the relief. After allowing the packing to "run-in", the gland plate nuts should
be snugged but
do not over tighten.
