About mechanical seal bfs
The Huhnseal BC-series is a new type of seal designed for various heavy duty applications where durability is key. This is a robust, reliable and cost effective seal suitable for standardization in larger process industries but also for customers with more limited amounts of equipment.
During the development of the BC-series the main focus has been on adaptability to different pressure and speed conditions, reliability and ease of installation. The BC is a double balanced seal that handles pressure drops on either product or barrier/buffer sides and effectively minimizes heat generation at the seal faces.
Operating range mechanical seal bfs
- Pmax = 25 bar Slurry with up to 60 % solid contents by weight
- Temperature up to 80 °C without quench Speed up to 18 m/s
characteristics mechanical seal bfs
- Zero-Flush Mechanical Seals designed for slurry applications
- Non-clogging springs isolated from the slurry and surrounding environment
- Seal face and holder profile minimizes turbulence and reduces wear
- Excellent axial movement capabilities
- Seal faces
Standard silicon carbide faces with optional diamond
coating or tungsten carbide - Wear resistant design
Axially aligned seal profile of the wetted parts
help to avoid inducing turbulent flows that cause
excessive wear - Protected dynamic o-ring
Wiper protects the o-ring and groove from getting
clogged and worn by abrasive slurry - Robust design for slurry applications
Various metallurgy and coatings are available to
help reduce wear and corrosion - Non-clogging spring package
Springs are isolated from the slurry to prevent
clogging - Excellent axial movement capabilities
Design makes it possible for the seal to handle large
axial movement to simplify impeller adjustments - Zero – Flush Mechanical Seal
Seal faces are cooled and lubricated by the slurry.
No additional water flush is necessary which
provides substantial water savings
