ISOMAG Seals double pump life

A recent conversation with a customer in the Nitrogen Fertlizer industry revealed a recurring problem with pumps in severe service that needed rebuilds every 6 months due to water and particulate ingress. The customer found that after switching to installing ISOMAG Seals on these pumps they are now at 12 months and counting since a bearing failure. He attributes the extended life directly on installing our ISOMAG Seals during the latest rebuilds. “These pumps are in a dirty nasty area of our plant and we would have to rebuild them every 6 months. After switching to ISOMAG seals our pump life has doubled and we’re still going. Those seals are awesome and we will be getting more soon.” Mike K. -Maintenance Supervisor
All bearing seals are not the same — not by a longshot. Only ISOMAG delivers a long-term, liquid-tight seal without heat generation, equipment degradation, lubricant egress or contaminant ingress. For more than 25 years now we’ve continued to bring true innovation to the industry because we simply don’t accept the limitations of other bearing seals.
Wear and tear is preventable.
Lip seals use the equipment’s shaft as the primary sealing surface, causing wear to your host equipment. The average lip seal life cycle is 3-6 months, leading to frequent downtime and less MTBR (maintenance time between repair). ISOMAG’s O-ring driven sealing face rotates with the shaft — avoiding metal-to-metal contact, preserving shaft integrity and extending bearing life up to 75,000 hours.
Lubricant leakage is not a “given.”
Labyrinth isolators create a restrictive, close-clearance path that’s inherently vulnerable to contamination ingress and lubrication egress, leading to frequent and expensive oil changes and sacrificing the reliability of your equipment. ISOMAG’s precision-controlled, deep-channel oil groove retains and circulates bearing lubrication, preventing bearing lubrication leaks. Our positive seals are long-term and liquid-tight, whether it’s liquid lube, oil mist or grease.
