External mechanical seal

External Mechanical Seals for Corrosive Applications

External mechanical seals (outside-mounted seals) are engineered specifically for handling extremely corrosive, abrasive, or viscous fluids. Unlike standard internal seals, these units are mounted outside the stuffing box, ensuring that sensitive metal components like springs and clamping rings do not come into contact with the process media.

This design makes them the preferred choice for the chemical industry, plating lines, and food processing. Since only the seal faces and secondary sealing elements touch the fluid, they offer superior resistance to acids, alkalis, and salts without requiring expensive exotic alloys for the entire assembly.

Key Technical Advantages:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Metal parts remain dry and isolated from aggressive chemicals.

  • Hygiene & Cleaning: No internal crevices where bacteria or solids can accumulate; easy to clean and inspect.

  • Simple Installation: Accessible for adjustment or replacement without dismantling the pump suction.

  • Material Options: Available with PTFE bellows and chemically inert face materials like Silicon Carbide and Ceramic.
