A Single Spring Mechanical Seal is used to prevent fluid leakage between rotating shafts and stationary equipment in pumps, compressors, and industrial machinery.
These seals are widely used in chemical plants, wastewater systems, food processing units, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical industries, and industrial pumping equipment.
Balanced seals are suitable for high-pressure applications with reduced face load, while unbalanced seals are generally used for standard low-pressure operations.
Common materials include Carbon, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Ceramic, SS 304, SS 316, PTFE, Viton, and EPDM.
Yes, customized seals can be manufactured according to shaft size, pressure rating, temperature range, and fluid compatibility requirements.
They help reduce leakage, minimize maintenance, improve equipment reliability, lower downtime, and enhance overall operational performance.
A Multi Spring Mechanical Seal is used to prevent fluid leakage between rotating shafts and stationary equipment in pumps, compressors, mixers, and industrial machinery.
These seals are widely used in chemical plants, oil & gas industries, wastewater systems, food processing units, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical industries, and industrial pumping equipment.
Multiple springs provide balanced axial pressure distribution, reduced vibration, improved face stability, and better sealing performance under high-speed and high-pressure conditions.
Common materials include Carbon Graphite, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Ceramic, SS 304, SS 316, Hastelloy, PTFE, Viton, and EPDM.
Yes, customized seals can be manufactured according to shaft size, pressure rating, temperature range, fluid compatibility, and industrial application requirements.
They help reduce leakage, minimize maintenance, improve equipment reliability, lower downtime, support high-speed operations, and enhance overall industrial performance.
A bellows mechanical seal is used to prevent fluid leakage between rotating shafts and stationary equipment components in pumps, compressors, mixers, and industrial machinery.
These seals are widely used in chemical plants, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical industries, wastewater systems, HVAC equipment, food processing units, and industrial utility pumps.
Bellows technology eliminates moving O-rings, reduces shaft wear, improves sealing stability, and provides better resistance against corrosion and clogging.
Common materials include Carbon, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Ceramic, SS 304, SS 316, Hastelloy, PTFE, EPDM, Viton, and Neoprene.
Yes, customized seals can be manufactured according to shaft size, pressure rating, operating temperature, and fluid compatibility requirements.
They help reduce leakage, minimize maintenance, improve equipment reliability, lower downtime, and increase overall operational performance.
A cartridge mechanical seal is used to prevent fluid leakage between rotating shafts and stationary equipment in pumps, compressors, mixers, and industrial machinery.
They provide easy installation, reduced downtime, improved sealing reliability, better shaft protection, and long operational service life.
These seals are widely used in chemical plants, pharmaceutical industries, wastewater systems, oil & gas facilities, food processing units, and industrial pumping equipment.
Cartridge seals come factory preset for easy installation and reduced errors, while conventional seals require manual assembly and alignment.
Common materials include carbon, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, ceramic, Viton, EPDM, PTFE, and stainless steel components.
Yes, customised seals can be manufactured according to shaft size, operating pressure, temperature range, fluid compatibility, and industrial application requirements.
Agitator mechanical seals are used to prevent leakage in industrial mixers, reactors, agitators, and processing vessels operating under severe shaft movement and pressure conditions.
Agitator seals are specially designed to handle heavy shaft deflection, vibration, vacuum conditions, and dry-running applications that standard pump seals cannot tolerate.
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food processing, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and polymer production widely use these seals.
Double agitator seals provide enhanced leakage protection using dual sealing faces and barrier fluid systems for hazardous and high-pressure applications.
Yes, specially designed dry-running agitator seals are engineered for top-entry mixers where lubrication from process fluid is unavailable.
Yes, customised sealing solutions are available according to shaft size, reactor design, pressure rating, temperature range, and application requirements.
Rotary equipment contains moving or rotating parts used for motion transfer and fluid handling, while stationary equipment remains fixed and is mainly used for pressure containment, storage, and thermal processing applications.
These equipment systems are widely used in power plants, chemical industries, cement manufacturing, mining operations, pharmaceuticals, food processing, wastewater treatment, petrochemicals, and steel industries.
Most industrial equipment is manufactured using Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, and heat-resistant metals to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and long operational life.
Yes, Arohan Industries provides customized industrial equipment solutions based on pressure ratings, production capacity, temperature requirements, plant layouts, and operational specifications.
Quality inspection ensures operational safety, structural strength, pressure resistance, thermal stability, vibration control, and long-term industrial reliability.
Yes, Arohan Industries manufactures export-quality rotary and stationary equipment designed according to international industrial standards for reliable global industrial applications.
