Pump rings are elements that ensure the correct operation of a mechanical seal exposed to high temperatures. Temperature is a key factor to consider in the operation of sealing solutions. Depending on the temperature range in which our system operates, we must choose different designs of mechanical seals and different types of materials for their components. If you want to know more about how do high temperatures affect mechanical seals and how can pumping rings be helpful, watch out for this article. High temperature effects on mechanical seals Applications that require working with substances at high temperatures are very common…

Reactor seals are complex systems manufactured with high added value components for any industrial sector. At Lidering we have the knowledge and experience to manufacture reactor seals. But who is responsible for the repair of a reactor seal? Our Lidering Production Centre includes facilities for the repair of all types of mechanical reactor seals, so we can say that we have the infrastructure, knowledge and experience to repair reactor seals, with the aim of getting them back to working as they did on the first day. This seal repair process helps us to be more aligned with the Sustainable Development…

Mechanical seals are elements manufactured to provide a physical and watertight barrier. The main advantages of using mechanical seals over other sealing systems are that they prevent leakage, reduced friction, shaft wear and consequent power loss, among other benefits. But what should be taken into account when deciding on the most suitable mechanical seal material in each case? There are different types of mechanical seals, but in order to offer the right sealing solution for each application, it is important to choose the correct type of seal and the correct materials. The wrong choice of materials could end in a…

Cartridge mechanicals have long time being a right option in several sectors and applications. Thanks to the benefits they provide, including their versatility, they become essential elements in the pumping systems. At Lidering, as a sealing solution manufacturer, we have some models of cartridge mechanical seals. Two of them are very important in our catalog; the simple model LSC40 and the double one LDC40. You may wonder what the differences are between a simple and a double Cartridge mechanical seal. In this article we want to explain what they are, which differences are between them, what the criteria selection will…

The revolution of the predictive mechanical cartridge seals LID e-Control was born to respond to the need for control of sealing systems in the industrial field with a new concept; the predictive cartridge seals, able to offer more information about the production process. This new technology, based on sensors for cartridge seals, provides real-time information on the conditions under which the mechanical part is working. Technology presented in Achema, the most important fair in the sector LID e-Control Predictive Cartridge Seals Usefulness of the data LID e-Control features Sustainable system Technology presented in Achema, the most important fair in the…

The mechanical seal is one of the most important elements in any environment that will require an optimal sealing in transfer of a fluid. Majority of industrial machinery has equipments such as compressors or pumps. These equipments are prone to leaking fluids that lead to a decrease in efficiency or even to a breakdown. As experts in mechanical seals and products associated with the industry, at Lidering we dedicate a large part of our efforts to perfectly understand the behavior of these elements in order to satisfy the most demanding needs of our customers. The purpose of this introduction is…
