ChemSeal Top Entering Mixer Seal

ChemSeal is a true Chemineer mixer seal designed for demanding top entry agitator applications. Available in either single or double configurations, the ChemSeal provides leading-class seal performance and safety.

Customer Benefits
Superior Performance
ChemSeal is designed specifically for agitator duties where shaft movements are larger, speeds are slower and conditions more variable than those encountered by pump seals Balanced seal design reduces seal face wear rate and increases the pressure capability by reducing the seal contact pressure as the process pressure fluctuates Dual sleeve-to-shaft O-rings with heavy cross sections make the seals more tolerant of shaft deflections inherent in agitator applications

Permanently installed above the tank drop collar design securely holds shaft during seal change and improves operator safety by eliminating on the fly installation of shaft support, prevents the shaft from falling into the vessel, and eliminates the need for vessel entry or overhead cranes to support the shaft

Application Versatility
Bi-directional rotation enhances process and operational flexibility Designed for a wide range of agitator models to allow ChemSeal to be the common plant standard Throttle Bushing option is available for clean flush below seal Debris Well option available to eliminate process contamination

Simple Maintenance and Fast Replacement

Class leading Swing-Out seal change procedure with shaft collar is simple and can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes, providing increased process uptime True cartridge design allows for removal, inspection and replacement of worn seal quickly and easily Mixer seal design and heavy duty gearbox bearings eliminate need for seal bearing and associated installation and maintenance costs Provision for jacking screws and setting clips storage is provided to aid in seal removal and future setting of the seal

Troubleshooting and Replacement Parts Assistance

Chemineer Express Service Center is available 24-hours a day to diagnose and correct sealing problems Factory trained technicians available for in-plant help with installation, operation and maintenance questions Chemineer Express replacement parts are readily available to increase uptime and reduce customer inventory requirements

Safe and Reliable Operation

Double balanced seal design keeps seal faces closed during a pressure reversal caused by process upset or failure of barrier system, preventing seal failure, containing vessel contents, and improving operator and plant safety
