AIGI 2318T Dual Stationary Cartridge Seal
The AIGI 2318T is a dual stationary cartridge seal built on AIGI's internationally patented Cyclone seal technology, corresponding to the 318T stationary seal. Two stationary seal faces come pre-assembled in one cartridge, pairing the self-cooling, induced-flow Cyclone design with a barrier-fluid dual arrangement for extra containment. It targets demanding water, oil and slurry pump service.
Product Benefits
- Self-cooling cyclone flow: The patented cyclone geometry induces a fluid flow that keeps the seal faces clean and cool, rotating particles back toward the pump.
- Flushless slurry sealing: This enables operation without a flush, sparing the plant the water consumption and product dilution that come with conventional flush arrangements.
- Barrier-fluid containment: As a dual seal, the 2318T holds a barrier fluid between two sets of faces, giving an extra layer of containment when the process side is challenged.
- Simple, repeatable fitting: The cartridge format means the seal arrives assembled and set, so fitting it is straightforward and repeatable.
Where It's Used
- Particle-laden media: The 2318T serves slurries and abrasive media containing particles.
- Typical industries: Pulp and paper, mining, metals processing and power are its usual industries.
- Built for dirty plants: It suits plants where particle-laden fluids are the norm rather than the exception.
Good to Know
- Stationary-face counterpart: This is the stationary-face counterpart to the rotary AIGI 2318A within the dual Cyclone cartridge family.
- When stationary wins: Stationary designs are often favoured where equipment alignment or operating conditions call for them; your seal supplier can advise which suits a given pump.
- Supplied to specification: The double Cyclone configuration is supplied to specification, with dimensions, materials and operating limits defined per application.
- Matched configuration: Share your pump model, media and duty with AIGI Environmental Inc. or Fluindo to receive a matched configuration.
