Slurry Mechanical Seals

Slurry mechanical seals are a type of mechanical seal designed to handle abrasive and viscous slurries, such as those found in mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing industries. They feature a robust construction with hard-wearing materials such as silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, and ceramics to withstand the harsh operating conditions.The design of slurry mechanical seals includes additional features such as a modified gland to accommodate larger particles and a robust spring design for increased stability and reliability. The seals are also designed with secondary sealing elements such as o-rings and elastomers to prevent slurry from entering the seal chamber.
