In a single year, between 2010 and 2011, wine consumption in the United States saw a 4.5% increase. In 2011, total U.S. wine consumption stood at 849 million gallons. By 2016, it was 949 million gallons. Clearly, demand is up and shows no signs of heading in the other direction. Greater demand requires upgrades in wine production, and that need affects–among other kinds of equipment–pumps and seals.
It can be hard to understand what people are talking about when it comes to shaft seals. Not only are there quite of few kinds—O-rings, braided packing, mechanical face seals and so on—but it’s sometimes difficult to know which kind is under discussion. For example,...
Americans consume roughly 504 lbs. of paper products per person per year. These products range from corrugated cardboard to packing paper, toilet tissue and many other items most people would consider indispensable in their lives. This dependence on paper helps drive an industry that, in 2015 alone, generated more than $96 billion in revenue.
Most pump failures result from seal failure. That’s the conclusion of William Burke, a fluid sealing specialist. An article he wrote for Pumps & Systems magazine in 1996 has been used as a handout by the Central States Water Environment Association as recently as 2017.
It’s no small thing that CinchSeal rotary shaft seals hold the “accepted” designation from the United States Department of Agriculture. This label alone separates CinchSeal from its competition and adds to an assurance that the seals will prevent contamination.
Nowhere more than in dairy processing is contamination control important. It can mean the difference not only between profit and loss for the processor but also, for consumers, sickness and health and even life and death.
CinchSeal rotary shaft seals offer a number of advantages over other sealing technologies. They handle rugged environments better, last longer, require less maintenance, prevent leaks more reliably and are easier to maintain or replace. These are some of the benefits in the food processing industry.
Everything breaks. Nothing lasts forever. Both of these statements are true. But are they good reasons to justify something going wrong and resulting in costly repairs?
For reliability and proofing managers, there is no justification. If managers can’t show improved cost savings year after year, they pay the difference out of their own pocket. It sounds like a risky way to make a living, but it does provide an incentive to perform at the highest level.
Because of its innovative design within the rotary seals industry, a CinchSeal rotary shaft seal provides an advantage to companies that rely on high performance to minimize downtime and maximize production. CinchSeal provides the best industrial sealing solutions for the 11 industries below. But first, why do you need a CinchSeal?
