PANACEAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS.

FEATURE:
-Simplicity of design.

BENEFIT:
-Design features have minimized the number of parts facilitating ease of assembly and installation.
-Fewer o-rings than other slurry seals reducing the number of possible leak paths.

FEATURE:
-Easy to repair.

BENEFIT:
-Customer can repair the seal in their own facility without special tools or equipment.

FEATURE:
-No flush is required thereby eliminating product dilution.

BENEFIT:
-No flush piping or flush system to install and maintain. Also no product dilution saves on energy costs incurred to remove any flush fluid.

FEATURE:
-Conical spring assembly.

BENEFIT:
-Does not clog when immersed in slurries, remaining free to flex.

FEATURE:
-Cartridge seal assembly.

BENEFIT:
-No special tools, equipment or measuring instruments are required for installation.

FEATURE:
-Minimum number of seal sizes between 1 in. - 9 in. (Traditional mechanical seals are sold in 1/8 in. increments. One PANACEAL compared to eight traditional seals.)

BENEFIT:
-Minimum amount of spares for inventory, thereby minimizing inventory carry costs and freeing up shelf space.

FEATURE:
-Seal is internally mounted.

BENEFIT:
-Seal can be installed and removed from the wet end of the pump; the drive end does not have to be disturbed saving on labor costs.

FEATURE:
-Large radial and axial tolerances.

BENEFIT:
-Can accept significant radial and axial misalignment (Up to .025" radial, and .040" axial).

FEATURE:
-Thick cross-section of seal components to compensate for wear.

BENEFIT:
-Longer operating life.

FEATURE:
-Large clearances at the inside diameter of the rotary head.

BENEFIT:
-No seal hang-up due to product crystallization on the atmospheric side of the rotary assembly. (Product crystallization is a normal result of face lubrication).

FEATURE:
-Elastomeric cup on rotary face with external elastomeric drive lugs.

BENEFIT:
-Absorption of any shock loading at start-up or a slip-stick condition during operation. Also, compensates for misalignment of seal faces.

FEATURE:
-Patented tungsten carbide rotary face insert with nickel binder.

BENEFIT:
-Better wear characteristics.
-Will not heat check quickly.
-Can tolerate intermittent periods of dry running.
-High thermal shock resistance.
-Higher corrosion resistance than other tungsten carbide grades.

FEATURE:
-Abrasive resistant silicon carbide stationary face.

BENEFIT:
-Extremely hard material gives longer life in abrasive applications.
-Low coefficient of thermal expansion.
-High thermal conductivity allowing better dissipation of frictional heat generated at the seal faces.
