Isomag Magnetic Seal Protects DXP Vacuum Pump
The DXP vacuum pump is a common liquid ring vacuum pump found in chemical processing plants all around the world. Nash liquid ring pumps have been designed to provide superior reliability and performance in harsh applications such as chemical processing, geothermal power generation or anywhere reliable compression of corrosive gases is needed.
Our customer, Shintech, uses this DXP vacuum pump in production of Vinyl Chlorine Monomer (VCM), and this piece of equipment is vital to production. The plant needed to find a longer term solution. The previous technology used were lip seals, which were a positive seal they liked, but Shintech needed a better and long term solution. Shintech found Isomag magnetic bearing isolators which complied with the positive seal requirement, but provided them with a seal that possessed a long life cycle. The seal has been running since 2015 and is still going today, with no leaks, while protecting the bearings.
