Replacement of mechanical seals

This post was last edited by Black gold on 2010-7-22 08:29. Everyone, our company’s new mixing equipment is manufactured in China and exported to the United States. It was designed to use John Crane mechanical seals, but for various reasons, it’s not possible to obtain them in time; therefore, domestic seals have to be used instead. However, the Americans are concerned about quality issues, as such problems have occurred before. I suggest installing the domestic seals first, while simultaneously ordering John Crane seals from the U.S., so that they can be replaced immediately if any problems arise with the domestic seals. In other words, the John Crane seals should be used as spares. Is this approach feasible? I’m worried whether they will fit properly. Thank you!

What many people don’t realize is that many machine seals in the country are counterfeit versions! Feel free to rest assured

As long as the connection dimensions match, the quality of the Crank seal should be fine

Many domestic mechanical seals are developed by copying imported ones; it is absolutely no problem to use domestic mechanical seals in place of imported ones. If the manufacturer, model, specifications, design, and materials of the domestic seals are suitable (and their price is lower than that of imported seals), their service life can often be longer than that of imported seals. ---------------Mainly, it can be used as long as the installation dimensions are the same as those of John Crane seals!

How could it not be suitable? The mechanical seal of a mixer is simply a matter of shaft diameter

It can be replaced. The problem is just to change him, and that’s it

Reply to 1# robin_s.q.luo: In principle, it is acceptable to use domestic mechanical seals. If you are concerned about quality issues, you need to increase the frequency of on-site inspections while ensuring a proper connection, in order to monitor the operating condition of the mechanical seals until it becomes stable.

The quality of domestic mechanical seals is acceptable, and the maintenance costs are low; after switching to modular mechanical seals, the rotating and stationary rings can be replaced at a very low cost in case of another leakage

It can be replaced. Cloning and the like in China are quite good.

Is it something from Lainin? Hehe, using cloned parts to install them – the biggest problem actually is the supply of accessories in the future.
