Overview of the Incredible Panaceal

The Panaceal is a true slurry mechanical seal designed and manufactured for rough slurry services. The Panaceal also performs well in less severe slurry services such as the chemical and municipal applications.

Break down of the Panaceal

The Panaceal is comprised of components that are available in a wide array of materials and designs to meet a broad spectrum of abrasive slurry and chemical applications.
The metal components that make up the seal are available in materials that include stainless steel, high chrome iron, and CD4. The metal components can also be treated with ceramic coatings to further enhance wear and chemical resistance.
The Seal Sleeve is the driving influence for the rotating components of the seal and is available in various designs to lock the sleeve to the shaft or the shaft sleeve. These designs also allow for varying lengths and clearances inside the frames of different pump designs.
The Retainer holds a stationary face in a fixed position with an anti-rotation pin, or by shrink fitting the seal face into the retainer. The retainer is fixed to the pump casing via an adaptor or is replaced with a seal chamber in some applications.
The Rotary face can be bonded in a chemical resistant elastomeric cup or shrink fitted into the rotary body.
The Rotary Body holds the rotary face as well as the cone spring. The Cone Spring is a metal spring that is molded inside one of many different elastomers. While the cone spring provides the closing forces that keep the sealing faces from separating, it also acts as an o-ring that seals against the seal sleeve and the rotary body.
