The APV mechanical seal is a high-performance, precision-engineered sealing solution designed specifically for APV sanitary centrifugal pumps and mixers in the food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Engineered for reliability, this seal is available in five standard shaft diameters: 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 25mm, and 28mm. Whether you need a mechanical seal 20mm for compact agitators or a mechanical seal 28mm for high-flow pumps, this product line offers a direct OEM replacement with superior material options.
Key Features
• Small Shaft Precision: Designed for smaller APV W+ and Puma pumps with 25mm and 28mm shafts.
• Compact Performance: Delivers full industrial sealing performance in a compact footprint suitable for pilot plants and dosing pumps.
• Food Safe: As with all our sanitary seals, it uses FDA-approved materials safe for direct contact with food products.
• Low Friction Face: The standard Carbon face is chosen for its low coefficient of friction, critical for smaller motors where seal drag can be significant.
• Secure Mounting: The stationary seat is designed with a precise interference fit or O-ring mount to ensure it stays square to the shaft.
APV Pump Models: Direct fit for APV W, W+, PUMA, and V2 series pumps.
Mechanical seal 20mm & 22mm: Ideal for ZMA, ZMB, ZMK agitators and smaller W+ pumps.
Mechanical seal 24mm, 25mm, 28mm: Standard for APV W and W+ centrifugal pumps (e.g., W 25/75, W 50/50).
Industries: Food processing, dairy, brewing, CIP systems.
We specialize in tailoring the APV mechanical seal to your exact process conditions. Beyond the standard mechanical seal 25mm and mechanical seal 22mm, we offer modifications for abrasive slurries, high-temperature cleaning, and corrosive fluids.
Customizable Features
Shaft Size Variants: While 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 25mm, 28mm are stock items, we can modify the bore for non-standard shafts (e.g., 21mm or 26mm).
Material Combinations:
Standard Duty: Carbon vs. Silicon Carbide (SiC) for general food service.
Abrasive/Harsh Duty: SiC vs. SiC for extended life in CIP systems.
Elastomers: EPDM for hot water/steam, Viton for chemical resistance.
Flush Ports: Custom drilling for single or double flush configurations on mechanical seal 24mm and mechanical seal 28mm sizes.
OEM Interchangeability: Our seals are precision-machined to match original APV drawings. The mechanical seal 20mm fits ZM series agitators perfectly, and the mechanical seal 25mm is a direct drop-in for W series pumps.
Extended Life: Using premium-grade silicon carbide (SiC) faces, our mechanical seal 24mm and mechanical seal 28mm units withstand abrasive cleaning-in-place (CIP) cycles better than standard ceramic.
Global Stock: We maintain deep inventory of all popular sizes, including the high-demand mechanical seal 22mm and mechanical seal 25mm, ensuring 3-5 day delivery to most global ports.
Technical Support: Our engineers provide free compatibility checks to ensure the correct mechanical seal (e.g., 20mm vs 22mm) is selected for your specific APV pump model.

Case Study
Flavor Dosing: A flavor dosing skid used 25mm APV pumps. The seals needed frequent replacement due to flavor concentrate aggressiveness. We supplied FKM O-ring versions of this seal. The FKM resisted the essential oils, doubling seal life.
Testimonials
Perfect fit for our pilot plant pumps. The 25mm seals are high quality and easy to install.

FAQs
Q: Is this a single or double seal?
A: This product page refers to the Single seal. However, these pumps can often be fitted with a double seal. We supply double seal kits for 25mm/28mm shafts as well.
Q: What is the most common APV mechanical seal size?
A: The mechanical seal 25mm is the most prevalent size for popular APV W+ series centrifugal pumps. However, we also frequently supply the mechanical seal 20mm for older W series and agitators, and the mechanical seal 28mm for specific mid-size models.
