Mechanical seals according to applications (mixers, agitators etc.) incl. special mechanical seals
	The main emphasis of our program is on mechanical seals in special design for applications with
	mixers agitators autoclaves kneaders filters homogenizers driers ball mills and others
	to be applied in different branches of industry, such as pharmaceutics, chemical industry, food processing industry, pulp and paper industry etc. The following applications are examples, representing a large number of further applications of CHETRA mechanical seals in process technology.
	Aniline (rotating filters)
	This application requires a mechanical seal specifically adapted to and integrated into the aggregate (rotating filter) with special consideration given to the toxic medium aniline. For this application, CHETRA developed the "integral solution" as follows.
577	multiple-acting / 2 x double-acting preassembled cartridge mechanical seal ready for installation balanced independent of direction of rotation multiple springs (protected) stationary design	Dimensions: 40-200 mm pmax: 25 bar tmax: 220°C vmax: 15 m/s
	Operation: with higher barrier pressure and auxiliary cooling The tested, "integral" ready-for-installation unit contains two double-acting, stationary mechanical seals, shutdown- and intermediate seals as well as the integrated bearing. - special high-tech design features like "self-aligning" hard alloy seal faces - guided circulation flow, protection of the sealing elements most essential for function, esp. seal face finish and seal face geometry are applied Result: long-term mechanical seal for difficult operating conditions
	Butadiene/ bottom agitator
	The medium butadiene cures permanently elasticly. This means high expenditure for cleaning in case of sealing problems. For example, cleaning has to occur with water under 400 bar pressure. Typical agitator diameters of the applications described are 120 mm (resp. 4 ¾") and 150 mm (resp. 6"). Besides the usual criteria which make very high service life desirable, a service life of more than 3 years is required because of the size of the plants and the resulting cost-intensive handling.
541	double-acting preassembled cartridge mechanical seal ready for installation double balanced independent of direction of rotation with integrated bearing	Dimension: 40-200 mm (also in inches) pmax: 20 bar tmax: 220°C vmax: 10 m/s
	Operation: with higher barrier pressure / auxiliary flushing Mechanical seal style 541 is designed in structure and material to resist high load and to ensure long service life: - double balance for increase safety - optimized, guided barrier fluid flow for improved dissipation of heat - "self-aligning" solid hard alloy seal faces - stationary design - customized mechanical seal, which adapts itself to the existing aggregate - simple installation / dismantling
	Filter drier mechanical seal - conversion from packing
	New filter driers are almost exclusively equipped with mechanical seals. Even so, many existing aggregates still run with (PTFE) stuffing box packings. That means high maintenance and often the vacuum required is difficult to obtain. Therefore conversion from packing to mechanical seal is recommended, if the plant meets the required standards otherwise. Mechanical seal style 577 (sterile) meets the requirements of such a conversion from packings and the corresponding demands of the mechanical seal.
577 in sterile design	preassembled cartridge mechanical seal ready for installation, with stroke bellows balanced independent of direction of rotation with integrated bearing multiple springs	Dimensions: 65-200 mm pmax: 20 bar tmax: 220°C vmax: 15 m/s
