Here we primarily classify mechanical seals for water and other lighter applications where the media are not aggressive or hazardous to the environment, and where the operating parameters (pressure and temperature) are not particularly high.
These include T109, then T502, a seal with rubber bellows of a more robust design for higher pressures, T58U/T58B a seal that can be unbalanced or balanced, etc.
All these seals comply with the DIN 24960 (EN 12756) standard.

Among all mechanical seal manufacturers, John Crane is the only one that has developed and produced an economical and simple T4600 series cartridge seal that can be used for most standard industrial applications. Already widely proven worldwide, as well as on our local market, this seal is an ideal solution if you want to replace packing with a more modern and reliable solution that is easy to install and maintain.

represent the most efficient sealing solutions for the majority of compressors, steam turbines, or other equipment intended for gas service. Dry gas seals, via laser-engraved grooves (Laser Groove Technology), provide a thin gas film between the sealing faces, generating less heat on them and reducing their wear. For different applications, there are different families of these seals, such as: T28, T285, etc.
Example: type 2800XP

These industrial sectors follow the latest API 682 standard, which requires that all seals be in CARTRIDGE design.
With the aim of becoming a global leader in sealing solutions in this industry as well, JOHN CRANE acquired long ago the recognized leader in this segment – SAFEMATIC.
Here too, CARTRIDGE seals are recommended, and depending on the pulp density (concentration), the following types are suggested:
Specific to this industry are strict hygienic requirements, very often sterile environments, and consequently highly demanding operating conditions. In addition to pumps, installation on mixers is also very common. To avoid the need for introducing sealing fluid that could compromise the entire environment and the production process, dry running mechanical seals (Dry Running Seals) are recommended. They are most often used on mixers with vessels, and depending on the installation method, there are three specific cases:
