In the processing of chocolate and confectionery, special rotary positive displacement pumps are used to move the chocolate through each of the process steps, from milling cocoa beans to depositing, enrobing or panning. Since the first pumps were used to move chocolate, people have struggled with how to keep it from leaking out along a pump’s shaft where it exits the casing.
John Crane has introduced an innovative gas seal technology to reduce methane emissions by up to 95 percent. It is designed to be retrofitted into centrifugal compressors with oil seals to also significantly lower operating costs and improve reliability.
John Crane recently helped Pumps & Systems editorial staff satisfy reader requests for articles on pump fundamentals. This article was written by John Morton, chairman of the European Sealing Association, and product marketing manager at John Crane. Since Power Generation has no tolerance for down time, your sealing choices can make a significant difference in keeping power reliable.
John states, "At the heart of any power station’s pre-boiler system is the boiler feed pump. Most of these pumps are between-bearings, multistage centrifugal designs with mechanical seals installed at each end of the pump." In this article, John covers:
In 2017, an operator of an aggregate plant in Quebec, Canada that produces crushed stone for concrete and construction contacted the local Goulds Pumps distributor. The original pump installed in their process was a rubber lined slurry pump. Unfortunately, this pump was failing after only 200 to 250 hours of operation, resulting in significant downtime, maintenance, and replacement parts costs. The pump manufacturer had not been able to improve the operating life.
