This patent-pending, leak-free, no-dilution Hydra-Just sealing system replaces mechanical seals in virtually any industrial pumping application. It's especially suited to hostile, abrasive environments and eliminates the risk of catastrophic failure. A rotary shaft sealing system engineered to make mechanical seals and packing obsolete, it is unlike mechanical seals and packing because it does not use water to lubricate seal surfaces. Instead, it forms and maintains a bearing relationship to the shaft face in the seal chamber while preventing the process media from migrating into the stuffing box. This design creates a new sealing category — a radial bearing-to-face seal. It's said to be less expensive and more cost effective than traditional mechanical seals. Furthermore, its cool, dry, no-dilution operation reduces water consumption.
