PROBLEM
- Numerous root causes for main pump shaft leakage have been identified and eliminated for production machines. In addition to the handling of the pumps and cleansing before assembly, an improved pump case drain line routing has been developed to reduce the case drain back pressure. This reduces premature wear of the seal lip surface.
