How important is it to protect your pump from run dry events, wear ring seizure, and the damage that results from these events? How much money could you save by improving centrifugal pump efficiency? Are you tired of poor mechanical seal reliability from pumps that were built more than 20 years ago? Boulden Company can help address these issues with the next generation composite wear ring material: DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100.
Boulden Company carries a large inventory of DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 for the rotating equipment market. Customers in the refining, power, pipeline, chemical, cryogenic, steel, aluminum, and other fluid handling markets have all benefited from using Vespel® CR-6100 in their pumps. Listed below are some of the reasons why so many process plants in these industries have selected Vespel® CR-6100 for their pump wear rings, line shaft bearings, and throat bushings:
• Protection from pump run dry events
• Increased centrifugal pump efficiency*
• Increased rotor stability and reduced pump vibration*
• Increased mechanical seal reliability*
• Ease of machining and installation
• Temperature capabilities from cryogenic to 550 F
• Broad chemical compatibility
• Immediate material availability through Boulden Company
• Technical support from knowledgeable machinery personnel
*Were you aware that the clearance at pump components such as wear rings, line shaft bearings, and throat bushings has a big impact on pump reliability? The unique properties of Vespel® CR 6100 allow these components to be installed with reduced clearance compared to API standard recommendations. When clearance is reduced using Vespel® CR 6100, efficiency and rotor stability improve, resulting in energy savings, along with lower vibration and longer seal life.
