Cartex ANSI
Dual seals

Features

  • Dual seal
  • Available for standard (Cartex-ASDN) and big bore (Cartex-ABDN) seal chambers
  • Cartridge
  • Balanced
  • Independent of direction of rotation
  • Double pressure balanced
  • Integrated pumping device

Advantages

  • Ideal for use in ANSI process pumps
  • Universal applicable for packings conversions, retrofits or OEM
  • Ideal seal for standardizations
  • No dimensional modification of the seal chamber necessary, small radial installation height
  • No damage of the shaft by dynamically loaded O-Ring
  • Extended service life
  • No damage caused by dirt entered during assembly
  • Straightforward and easy installation due to pre-assembled unit
