Overview
The EnviroSeal FI3750RS4750ESC is a patented SpiralTrac environmental controller throat bushing designed for large-diameter shaft applications in rotating process equipment. The SpiralTracâ„¢ Environmental Controller is a unique, patented throat bushing specially engineered to transform and control the internal stuffing box environment in rotating process equipment. This component directly manages flow, temperature, and particulate circulation within the stuffing box, significantly improving the performance and longevity of mechanical seal and packing assemblies.
Key Features
- Reduced flush requirements – SpiralTrac™ has set the standard in industrial process applications worldwide for increasing equipment reliability, decreasing housekeeping cost and reducing flush requirements.
- Carbon-graphite filled PTFE construction – Durable material selection for demanding process conditions
- Version F, Type S configuration – Optimized for mechanical seal applications with controlled discharge circulation
- Precision machined design – SpiralTrac modifies the flows that exist inside rotating processing equipment: Enables particulates to be removed from the stuffing box (and away from packing or mechanical seals) Permits air to evacuate the stuffing box upon flooding to retain cooling Minimizes heat buildup in the stuffing box by creating circulation around seal faces.
