Fully split semi-cartridge seal -an ideal solution where there is insufficient space for installation or replacement of a non-split seal

Splitex® – the fully split semi-cartridge seal
Fully split, pre-assembled Splitex® mechanical seals are an ideal solution where there is insufficient space for installation or replacement of a non-split seal, if pump disassembly is very difficult, loss of production during downtime would be very expensive, or the machine operates without standby – use the Splitex®, and expensive downtime for repairs is history.

Due to the following inherent advantages, Splitex® seals are often used in water and waste water treatment, pulp and paper, marine, textile and general process applications in a wide range of pumps and agitators.
Advantages at a glance:
–    Reduced downtime: 2 x 2 pre-assembled parts, which speed up and simplify installation because the pump does not have to be disassembled.
–    Long service life: Precise pre-alignment because of pre-assembled segments. Stationary springs are protected from the product prevent clogging.
–    Dependable operation: Mechanical decoupling of clamping ring (torque transmission) avoids deformation or torsional stress at the seat.
–    Greater flexibility: No modification necessary – the seal is located outside the seal chamber.
–    Simple monitoring: mechanical wear indicator on the seal face.
–    Low leakage: Elimination of secondary seals – no leakage paths between split components.
–    High tolerance to shaft deflections: stationary design and elastic seat mounting (gasket).
–    Shaft protection: Uniform torque transmission via clamping ring prevents damage.
