The Key to Avoiding Mining Pump Failures

September 17, 2024
Peter Chilton - Marketing Manager

In the mining industry, equipment failures can cause major operational disruptions and financial losses.

Harsh conditions like abrasive dust and heavy loads put immense pressure on your rotating shaft equipment seals, such as pumps, leading to costly repairs and halted production.

To avoid these issues, you need components designed to withstand these harsh conditions.

That’s where SealRyt's PackRyt® ORM Bearings come in.

These bearings are engineered specifically for this purpose to be installed prior to mechanical seals, providing a durable and reliable solution layer of protection to keep your pumps running smoothly and efficiently. PackRyt ORMs take the brunt of the load before reaching the much more delicate mechanical seal. Offering protection for critical and expensive seals.

Ensuring equipment reliability and efficiency is a must for preventing costly interruptions and maintaining continuous production.

The Role of PackRyt ORM Bearings in Mining

PackRyt ORM - protects mechanical seals from excessive shaft movement.

1.Exceptional Durability Under Harsh Conditions

Mining environments are notorious for their tough conditions, including exposure to abrasive particles, moisture, and heavy loads. PackRyt® ORM Bearings are specifically designed for rotating equipment like pumps. Constructed from high-grade materials, these bearings offer superior wear resistance and longevity, even in such demanding settings. This durability ensures that your critical equipment remains operational longer, reducing the frequency of costly replacements and repairs.

 

2.Advanced Sealing Technology for Contaminant Protection

One of the greatest challenges in mining is keeping contaminants out of machinery components like pumps. Dust, dirt, and moisture can quickly lead to equipment failure if not effectively managed. PackRyt® ORM Bearings feature an integrated sealing system designed to keep these contaminants at bay. By protecting mechanical seal components, the risk of premature failure is significantly reduced, extending maintenance intervals and keeping operations running smoothly.

3.Reduced Friction for Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a key consideration in mining operations, where power consumption can be a major expense. The precision design of PackRyt® ORM Bearings minimizes friction within rotating machinery, resulting in smoother operation and lower energy use. This efficiency translates to reduced operational costs and contributes to the sustainability goals of mining companies by lowering overall energy consumption.

4.Versatility Across Mining Applications

From screw conveyors to slurry pumps and agitators, the versatile design of PackRyt® ORM Bearings makes them suitable for a wide range of equipment used in mining. Their ability to perform reliably in different environments ensures that they can meet the diverse needs of various mining processes, making them a valuable asset for any mining operation.

Benefits of PackRyt ORM Bearings in Mining
