2005 Mechanical Seal Design

Units furnished between 2005 and 2012 have a one-piece
chrome-oxide coated rotating body running against a stationary
ceramic head insert. It can easily be converted to a double
mechanical seal by adding secondary components to contain a
steam or water flush.

2012 Mechanical Seal Design
Standard units furnished starting in 2012 have removable rotary
seal faces in solid carbon, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, and
narrow-face tungsten carbide materials. The stationary seal faces
are made of solid ceramic or silicon carbide. Like the 2005
design, the 2012 single mechanical seal can be converted to a
double mechanical seal by adding secondary components to
contain a water or steam flush.
