| Vitamin Powder Mixing |
Material: Dry powders
Main Benefit: Long sealing life with abrasive fillers for mixing blade
seals.
Minimum sleeve wear due to conformability - does not harden.
|
| Specialty Chemical
Reactors |
Material:Liquids and
liquid slurries
Main Benefit: Chemically resistant to range of chemicals in 1-14pH
range.
Temperatures range of -100°C to +280°C and low thermal expansion
of
SGORE™ SEQUEL® Packing to minimize friction on mixer shaft.
|
| Tablet Machines |
Material: Dry powder.
Mixer type: Fitzpatrick Compactor
Main Benefit: Able to seal mixer shaft in a very abrasive, high-speed
mixer
(up to 6000 rpm)
|
| Chemical Filter Dryers |
Material: Wet, aggregated
powders
Main Benefit: Effectively seals mixer shaft on chemical filter dryers
where powder is dried and aggregates are separated.
|
| Beverage Applications |
| Beer
Mash Cookers
|
|
Material:Beer Processing; Mash cookers
Main Benefit: Minimizes downtime with cookers due to packing change-outs
on mixer shaft seal.
|
| Beer
and Soft Drink Automatic Bottle Fillers. (Crown 100 valve beer filler) |
Material:Alcohol and
sugar based beverages.
Main Benefit: Effective, longer-term packing on automatic dispensing
fill systems. This reduces downtime for a difficult-to-repair seal.
|
| Food Industry Applications |
| Food Additives |
Materials:
Liquid/powder blends or all powder blending
Main benefit: Similar to pharmaceutical applications, a reliable agitator
or pump packing that extends seal life in abrasive conditions with
higher shaft rpm's or system temperatures.
Types of Mixers: Ribbon blenders, Littleford-Day mixers, and dough
mixers |
| Bubble Gum Manufacturing |
Materials:
Gum polymers and additive blends
Main benefit : Packing life has been quadrupled and still going! Displaced
Kevlar packing in Z-blade mixers with four (4) packed glands.
Media is gum base, sugar and flavourings.
|
| Cookie/Cake Powder
and Batter Mixing |
Materials:
Powder mixing, corn syrup/sugar blends
Main benefit : Reliable agitator or pump shaft sealing |
| Chocolate Manufacturing;
mixing and pumps |
Materials: Conche chocolate
mixers
|
| Chemical Process
Industries Pulp and Paper |
Material: Pulp and
caustic solution
Main Benefit: White packing to eliminate potential of contamination
for fine writing paper while maintaining long packing life for digester
agitator packing and water service pumps. |
| Plastic Industry/Rubber
Compounding Industry |
Material:Plastic powder,
plastic flake, reinforcing fillers compounded into plastic and rubber
Main Benefit: Able to seal transport augers and mixers in plastic/rubber
industry. Can be used for dough mixer and banbury mixer seals for
rubber compounding industry in presence of aggressive powders or fillers
for longer life of packing which leads to lower material losses and
cleaner work environment. |
| Chemical Processing
Fluids and Dispersions/Slurries |
Material: Fluid/filler
dispersions such as antifoam agents, pigment/fluid blends that are
pumped or mixed at elevated temperatures/pressures.
Main Benefit: GORE™ SEQUEL® Packing will maintain the seal at elevated
temperature/pressures without sleeve wear for a longer time versus
other packing types. |
