In rotating equipment applications, abrasive media can come in many forms; from the comparatively mild, like liquid chocolate, to the extremes found in industries such as mining, pulp & paper, and sugar processing. Moreover, slurry properties and content can vary greatly between the various industries and applications. Slurry concentration, particle size, hardness, and the tendency to solidify or dewater, are all important considerations when developing an approach to addressing the sealing challenges relative to these applications. Pump Engineer had the pleasure of learning from Daniel Angulo, Mechanical Engineer at Teadit, the best approach to choosing the correct mechanical packing for industrial pumps.
