Industries We Serve

Every industry we work with asks a different question of a mechanical seal. A pharmaceutical bioreactor needs sterility above all else; a mining slurry pump needs to survive particles hard enough to erode standard faces in weeks; a marine vessel needs a seal that can go months without service. There’s no single “industrial duty” seal that serves all of these well, which is why we specify seals by industry and application rather than from a fixed catalogue tier. 

Below are the 12 industries we serve most, each with its own dedicated page covering the specific equipment, sealing challenges, and seal types we recommend for that industry. If your application doesn’t fit neatly into one of these, our engineering team is still the right first call — get in touch and we’ll work from your actual process conditions. 

Oil & Gas

Upstream, midstream, and downstream equipment — crude oil transfer, refinery process pumps, pipeline booster stations, and high-temperature, high-pressure services — engineered to API 682 principles for centrifugal and rotary pump sealing. Typical solutions include Split Mechanical Seals for continuous pumps and Metal Bellow Mechanical Seals for hot process service. Explore Oil & Gas sealing solutions → 

Chemical Processing

Reactors, agitated vessels, and transfer pumps handling acids, caustics, and solvents, where chemical compatibility — not pressure or temperature — is the first design decision. Typical solutions include elastomer-free PTFE / Teflon Bellow Seals and Agitator & Mixer Seals for batch reactors. Explore Chemical Industry sealing solutions → 

Pharmaceutical

Bioreactors, sterile mixing vessels, and CIP/SIP-validated equipment where hygienic, crevice-free design and material traceability are non-negotiable. Typical solutions include hygienic Cartridge Seals and double-seal arrangements via our Seal Support Systems. Explore Pharmaceutical Industry sealing solutions → 

Food & Beverage

Mixers, dairy pasteurizers, and filling lines that run daily or multiple-times-per-shift CIP/SIP cycles — seal materials have to survive the actual cleaning cycle frequency, not a generic “food grade” default. Typical solutions include Metal Bellow Seals for dairy lines and Multi Spring Seals for pulp and puree handling. Explore Food & Beverage sealing solutions → 

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Raw sewage, sludge, and chemical dosing pumps running some of the most abrasive, variable media in industrial service, on aging municipal pump fleets budgeted for long service life. Typical solutions include Multi Spring Seals for rag and grit resistance and Split Mechanical Seals for sludge pumps. Explore Water & Wastewater sealing solutions → 

Power Plants

Boiler feed, condensate, and ash handling pumps where pressure and temperature routinely exceed standard seal design limits, and a forced outage costs far more than any seal. Typical solutions include elastomer-free Metal Bellow Seals for boiler feed water and Multi Spring Seals for ash and slurry systems. Explore Power Plant sealing solutions → 

Pulp & Paper

Stock pumps, chemical recovery, and bleach plant equipment that combine abrasive fiber content with aggressive chemical exposure — two problems that have to be solved together, not traded off. Typical solutions include Multi Spring Seals for stock streams and elastomer-free PTFE Bellow Seals for bleach plants. Explore Pulp & Paper sealing solutions → 

Mining & Mineral Processing

Slurry, tailings, and leach circuit pumps where particle size, mineral hardness, and concentration — not a generic “slurry duty” rating — determine seal life. Typical solutions include Multi Spring Seals for comminution discharge and Split Mechanical Seals for tailings pumps. Explore Mining & Mineral Processing sealing solutions → 

Textile

Dyeing machines, bleaching ranges, and finishing lines where seals have to survive repeated thermal cycling within a single batch as well as the specific dye or bleaching chemistry. Typical solutions include elastomer-free Metal Bellow Seals for high-cycle dyeing machines and PTFE Bellow Seals for bleaching. Explore Textile Industry sealing solutions → 

Marine & Shipping

Seawater cooling, bilge, ballast, and cargo pumps that have to survive not just the application but the length of the voyage between service opportunities. Typical solutions use duplex or super duplex metallurgy, with Cartridge Seals for seawater systems and Multi Spring Seals for bilge service. Explore Marine & Shipping sealing solutions → 

HVAC & Refrigeration

Chilled water pumps and industrial ammonia or CO2 refrigeration systems — two very different sealing problems, since ammonia demands elastomer-free chemical compatibility while chilled water is comparatively conventional duty. Typical solutions include elastomer-free Metal Bellow Seals for ammonia systems and Cartridge Seals for chilled water. Explore HVAC & Refrigeration sealing solutions → 

Automotive

E-coat, phosphating, machining coolant, and effluent treatment pumps across an automotive plant — four or five genuinely different sealing problems running simultaneously, each needing its own specification rather than one plant-wide standard. Typical solutions include Metal Bellow Seals for pretreatment and Multi Spring Seals for coolant systems. Explore Automotive Industry sealing solutions →

These 12 industries reflect where we have the deepest application experience, but they aren’t the limit of what we engineer for. If your process doesn’t map cleanly onto one of the pages above, our approach doesn’t change — we start from your actual fluid, pressure, temperature, and duty cycle, not from an industry label.
