Gland Seal Flushing on centrifugal slurry pumps keeps the slurry being pumped from entering the gland seal area. It runs at a slightly higher pressure than the centrifugal pump to create a water seal, keeping the slurry out of the gland seal area. Slurry pumps run continuously and are depended upon to keep the mine operating. If adequate pressure isn’t maintained by this pump, it will endure excessive wear that results in early pump failure. Slurry pump failure leads to expensive repairs and excessive shut downs.

Our pumps are chosen for gland seal flushing because of our proven reliability in continuous-duty applications. Custom-built power units are available to meet specific gland seal flush requirements.

With field-proven dependability in applications around the globe, Cat Pumps provides the best value for gland seal flushing applications.
