Mechanical Seal Conversion on Salvatore Robuschi HGM32-16B168-351 Pump
Why Replace Packing on Salvatore Robuschi Pumps?
Packing causes friction, leaks, and downtime. Salvatore Robuschi's HGM32-16B168-351 model is no exception. When our client experienced repeated leakage and inefficiency, we stepped in with a cartridge seal conversion that delivered immediate results.
Our Solution: Cartridge Mechanical Seal Installation
We fitted a high-efficiency cartridge seal, eliminating the packing completely. Benefits included:
- No more leakage
- Reduced shaft wear
- Better energy efficiency
- No weekly adjustments
Real-World Results: Before vs After
The results speak for themselves:
| Factor | With Packing | With Mechanical Seal | |----------------|--------------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Leakage | Visible product loss | Fully sealed, no visible leakage | | Energy Use | Higher due to friction | Significantly reduced power consumption | | MTBF | 2, 3 months typical | 12+ months (projected) | | Maintenance | Requires weekly adjustments | No maintenance since installation | | Safety | Slip hazard from leakage | Clean and safe working area |
Should You Convert?
If you're running Salvatore Robuschi pumps, or any pump still using packing, we can help. We've converted systems in food, coatings, pharma, and water sectors.
