When existing screw connections must be retained
Initial situation
A traditional gland packing was in use on the mixer. The goal was to replace it with an SDF seal without fundamentally altering the existing design. The existing screw connections were to be fully retained and continue to be used.
Technical challenge
The new seal had to be integrated while retaining the existing screw connections. This necessitated adapting the design so that the SDF seal could be installed within the existing geometry and connection points.
Solution approach
For this application, the design of the split seal housing was modified. The screw connections were relocated into the seal chamber so that the existing screw connections could continue to be used. At the same time, the geometry was designed to allow for the complete integration of the SDF seal.
Implementation
The SDF seal was installed using the existing screw connections. The modified design allowed for a precise fit into the existing system without requiring additional modifications to the plant.

FAQs
The bolted connections of the split housing were relocated into the seal chamber. This allowed the new seal to be integrated into the existing geometry.
Through a customized design that adapts to the available installation space and the existing connection points. This allows the seal to be installed without modifying the system.
After six months, the seal showed barely measurable wear on the wear indicators. This indicates a long service life and stable performance during operation.
