The MAX Seal from Hoffman & Lamson, Gardner Denver Products, reduces fugitive emissions by up to 67 percent compared to traditional seal options, while extending the mean time between failures. It is a dry-running mechanical axial seal, constructed of 316 stainless steel with replaceable wearing components. The seal does not require a gas purge, reduces lubricant contamination and eliminates bearing contamination from process gas. It is available as a field upgrade for multistage centrifugal blowers, and can be installed on site without replacing any major blower components. It is ideal for landfill gas and applications where toxic and potentially explosive gases are handled, improving the safety of an operation while extending bearing life and lowering total cost of ownership. 724/239-1500; www.hoffmanandlamson.com.
