SealRyt@ Rotating Shaft Sealing Technology

Dec 14, 2023 | SealRyt

SealRyt Corp. is the industry leader in rotating shaft sealing technology. Our engineers have years of experience in the science of sealing. That’s why we hold multiple patents on sealing technology. That’s also why our products last longer, get better results, and simply seal better than any other products available.

Every sealing scenario is different but we have collected a few case studies that illustrate the drastic change in reliability and effectiveness of SealRyt® products.

Dissolving Tank Agitators

A PackRyt® Sealing System was installed on 4 hard coated shaft tank agitator units and they have been running trouble free for over 2 years.

Previously these units had shaft change outs every year at a cost of approximately $80,000.00.

Stock Pumps

A PackRyt® Sealing System was installed on a 3175 stock pump having extreme leakage and maintenance issues. The PackRyt® eliminated the problems. All pumps and agitators on the paper machine and the pulp dryer are now being considered for change out.

Fiber Line Equipment

A chip chute pump was being re-packed every 2 months and now with the PackRyt® Sealing System installed it has one annual packing change. The bearing has had a life span of over 5 years.

We have compiled a list of life span results from different equipment the PackRyt BLR has been installed.

Unfortunately, shaft deflection still causes high leakage and rapid packing wear. With water costs soaring, this area of the pump has become critical. Mechanical seals are sometimes used but their fragile nature, high cost and labor-intensive change outs make them a marginal choice for economical operation, especially where impeller nose gap adjustments are required, if cavitation or water hammer events are a possibility, and when cost is a factor.
