In the process industry, mechanical seals in pumps, compressors, reactors etc. represent a small but essential contributor to The overall operating reliability and economic efficiency of every piece of equipment.

In the complexity of production cycles, interruptions or shut downs of production caused by the replacement or repair of single components such as a mechanical seal can result in enormous expenses.

It must be realized that the interests of machine manufacturers are not always me same as Those of Their customers. Manufacturers often choose components mat are not The best for the application. Reasons for this are purely economic. The spore ports market for the equipment is so lucrative it has created whole industries dedicated to satisfying the "after-market" demand.

In this industry it is questionable if true competition exisTs, which in other industries is the driving force for innovation and developmenl of Technically advanced producTs. How else con it be explained that current industry standards have not incorporated the latest technical advances in seal design.
