WATERLESS SEALING
Wilfley Sealing Technology is the premier sealing solution for the toughest pumping applications
It has proven to be a superior alternative to conventional sealing systems like mechanical seals and compression packing
Key Features and Benefits
- No need for the cumbersome flush systems associated with mechanical seals and compression packing
- Excellent solids / slurry handling capabilities
- Product dilution is eliminated
- Operational abuse tolerant, e.g. cavitation and vibration
- Reduces maintenance costs and maximizes production time through increased mean time between maintenance (MTBM)
- Intermittent dry running capability
- Inherently SAFE without gland packing or frictional heat
How Wilfley Sealing Technology Works
Wilfley Sealing Technology is the combination of the Wilfley dynamic expeller seal and a specially engineered static seal. At startup, the dynamic expeller uses centrifugal force to pull the pump fluid away from the shaft while the static seal actuates to open its seal faces (green and orange components below) and prevent any rubbing contact. At shutdown, the seal faces close before any pump fluid can escape.
The harmony between the dynamic and static seal is what makes Wilfley Sealing Technology excel beyond conventional seals.
Wilfley Sealing Technology saves water and eliminates product dilution
Wilfley sealing technology provides leak free operation at all times without requiring the type of flush systems and expensive operating costs that are needed for conventional sealing systems like mechanical seals and compression packing. This flush-free system also keeps the pumpage pure, and eliminates the need for subsequent, expensive evaporative processes downstream.
