When it comes to gasket applications, heat exchangers are among the most difficult pieces of equipment to seal. These are complicated pieces of equipment that require special gasketing attention for proper safety and maximum efficiency. When you are having issues with heat exchanger gaskets, there are four major areas to consider: Heat exchanger design: Because […]

Taking the Hassle Out of Slurry Pump Maintenance
Seals, typically either packing or a mechanical seal, are one of the components most often replaced in a slurry pump. Abrasive particles can easily wear through packing or clog mechanical seal components. In either case, seal life in a slurry environment can quickly be reduced down to weeks or even days. In operations where downtime can […]
