Blackmer has launched a behind-the-rotor seal for its Blackmer G Series Internal Gear Pumps.
The new seal design delivers improved protection and performance when handling abrasive materials, helping extend the life of the pump across a range of applications.
Engineered for serviceability and longevity, the behind-the-rotor seal prevents process fluids and abrasive materials from contacting drive components of the G Series, resulting in reduced wear, simplified maintenance and increased uptime for operators.
Blackmer product manager, Joe Parzych, said the introduction of the behind-the-rotor seal reflects Blackmer’s ongoing commitment to providing reliable pump technology and enhances the trusted performance of the G Series.
"By protecting critical internal components, this new seal helps customers minimise downtime and reduce total cost of ownership," he said.
The behind-the-rotor seal includes the following key features:
- Available in Type 1 or Type 8 seal configurations for greater flexibility.
- Supports the use of a lower-cost bronze bushing when pumping abrasive materials.
- Ideal for industries handling starches, inks, pulp, resins and adhesives.
- Offered on G3-2 through G3-69 cast iron models, with additional materials planned for future release.
