Sealing the agitator shaft of a mobile vessel is a very special task when dealing with a process in vaccine production. Liquid lubricated seals offer the best conditions for this application. However, the operation of the dry running seal DF-SeccoMix R from EagleBurgmann is more convenient and just as reliable as it is safe.
Operating conditions: d = 35 mm (1,37“), p = 3 barg (43,5 PSIG), t = 40 °C (104 °F), vg = 1,5 m/s (5 ft/s)

In the highly sensitive production of vaccines, only a few barrier media and materials are approved for mechanical seals. If steam condensate is to lubricate silicon carbide sealing surfaces, premature wear is inevitable. How it actually works with the double seal HSMR from EagleBurgmann is demonstrated by the case of an internationally operating pharmaceutical company.
Operating conditions: d1 = 40 mm (1.57"), p1 = Vacuum ... 1 bar, t = 4 °C … 128 °C (39.2 °F … 271.4 °F), n = 1,500 min-1
