SPS-625 – External Mount Heavy-Duty Slurry Seal

SPS-625 – External Mount Heavy-Duty Slurry Seal

Overview

The SPS-625 by HydroMax Seal is a double cartridge mechanical seal equipped with an integral, bi-directional barrier fluid pumping ring and inboard wetted parts made from wear-resistant materials. This seal is purpose-built for heavy-duty slurry applications where the process fluid contains abrasive particles, making it ideal for the Mining & Mineral, Pulp & Paper, and Water & Wastewater industries.

The innovative stationary seal design is delivered as a complete cartridge mechanical seal system and supports Plan 53, 53A, 53B, and 53C piping arrangements.

For equipment with small cross-section seal chambers, the SPS-625 can be mounted fully externally (where space permits). Its gland insert with built-in vortex breakers creates a large fluid volume over the inboard faces, optimizing seal performance and longevity.

Product Description

Design Features

  • Wear-Resistant Components: Sleeve end cap and gland insert can be manufactured from a range of wear-resistant materials tailored for slurry duty.
  • Fully Outboard Mounted: Ideal for equipment with limited seal chamber space, ensuring improved reliability in challenging slurry applications.
  • Large Port Orifices: 1/2″ NPT Barrier Fluid In (BI) and Barrier Fluid Out (BO) connections support Plan 53 or 52 configurations.
  • Directed Barrier Flow: Internal deflector in the gland guides fluid to inboard faces. Outboard outlet placement enables efficient heat removal on both seal faces.
  • Vortex Breaker Design: Gland insert features integral vortex breakers to manage solids in slurry or particle-laden process media.
  • API682-Compliant Clearances: Ensures proper radial spacing between rotating and stationary elements.
  • Monolithic Seal Faces: Enhanced high-temperature performance.
  • Self-Aligning Stationary Face: Ensures stability and performance at high shaft speeds.
  • Multi-Spring Construction: Springs are isolated from the process fluid to prevent fouling and wear.
  • Efficient Pumping Ring: Bi-directional pumping for reliable barrier fluid circulation.
  • Plan 53 System Compatibility: Designed for seamless use with HydroMax Seal Plan 53, 53A, 53B, and 53C systems.
