Key Features

• Wave Spring Hygiene: The sinusoidal wave spring mechanical seal design eliminates coil-spring crevices where bacteria harbor, ensuring thorough cleaning during CIP/SIP—the hygienic standardfor modern sanitary APV pumps.

• Compact Axial Fit: Provides high closing force in a short compressed length, allowing this mechanical seal 40mm / 45mm unit to fit compact APV pump stuffing boxes where traditional seals won't.

• High-Viscosity Capable: Strong drive pins and wave spring force keep seal faces closed under viscous loads (cream, yogurt, syrups), preventing face separation common with lighter-duty seals.

• Hygienic Flow Path: Promotes fluid circulation around faces during operation and cleaning, preventing product stagnation—essential for APV pump mechanical seal compliance in food & pharma.

•Balanced Loading: Wave spring applies uniform circumferential pressure to seal faces, reducing uneven wear and extending service life in continuous sanitary processing.

Customization & Technical Data

We understand that standard solutions don't always fit unique process challenges. Our wave spring mechanical seal can be fully customized to meet your specific application requirements beyond the standard 40mm and 45mm sizes.

Customizable Options

• Shaft Size Adaptation: While we stock the popular mechanical seal 40mm and mechanical seal 45mm, we can engineer seals for other non-standard shaft diameters upon request.

• Material Selection:

  • Seal Faces: Choose from SiC/SiC for abrasive service, Carbon/SiC for general duty, or Tungsten Carbide for extreme conditions.

  • Elastomers: Select EPDM for hot water/steam, FKM (Viton) for chemical resistance, or NBR for cost-effective general use.

• Special Configurations: Available in single or double seal arrangements. Custom flush ports (API Plan 11, 13, 21, 32, 52) can be incorporated into the seal gland for the wave spring mechanical seal.

• Hastelloy & Special Alloys: Metal components can be supplied in 316 Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C, or other alloys for highly corrosive environments.

FAQs

Q: Is the wave spring stronger than a coil spring?

A: It provides equivalent force but in a smaller space. It is less prone to clogging, which is its main advantage in sanitary applications.

Q: My APV pump has a 40mm shaft. Is your seal a direct replacement?

A: Yes, our mechanical seal 40mm is designed as a direct OEM replacement for APV pumps with a 40mm shaft diameter, such as certain models in the W+ and PUMA series. It matches the original dimensions and interface.

Q: What are the advantages of a wave spring over a coil spring in a mechanical seal?

A: A wave spring mechanical seal offers several key advantages: it provides more uniform face loading, is less prone to clogging with viscous products, has a more compact design, and is better at compensating for minor shaft misalignment and thermal expansion. This makes it ideal for sanitary APV pump applications.
