Heavy-duty cartridge seals
Big-shaft SiC/SiC cartridge seals built for mill discharge, tailings and dewatering duty.
Slurry & Mining Pump Mechanical Seals
Heavy-duty mechanical seals for abrasive slurry, dewatering and tailings pumps — for Warman and other slurry pumps, built for grit.

We are the manufacturer, not a reseller — so we match the seal to the duty, build it in-house, and supply it at quantities that work for a distributor, an OEM or a maintenance department. Below is how we approach slurry & mining pump sealing.

Why slurry destroys an ordinary seal
Abrasion is relentless — grit and solids chew up soft faces in weeks; silicon carbide on silicon carbide is the only pairing that holds.
Gland water vs mechanical seal — a mechanical seal cuts the water cost and dilution that packing wastes, but it has to be specified for the duty.
The flush plan is half the job — a clean barrier or quench (Plan 32/54) keeps grit off the faces.
Big shafts and high pressure need a heavy-duty cartridge, not a light-duty seal stretched past its limit.
Range
What we supply
From off-the-shelf replacements to fully engineered custom seals — at the quantities your operation actually orders.
Component slurry seals
Loose component seals for Warman and similar pumps where a cartridge won’t fit.
Custom & OEM-compatible
Matched to Warman, Metso and KSB slurry pumps, or machined from a sample for legacy units.
Match the seal to the duty
The right face pair and secondary are set by the media and the conditions — not by what a catalogue stocks. The table is a starting point; send us the duty and we confirm it.
| Slurry duty | Face pair | Elastomer | Flush |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mill discharge | SiC / SiC | FKM | Plan 32 clean barrier |
| Tailings | SiC / SiC (heavy-duty) | FKM | Plan 32 / 54 |
| Dewatering | SiC / Carbon | EPDM | Plan 11 / 32 |
| High-pressure cyclone feed | SiC / SiC, double | FKM | Plan 54 pressurized |
Silicon-carbide on silicon-carbide is mandatory for abrasive slurry. The flush plan — a clean barrier or quench — matters as much as the faces.
FAQ
Slurry & Mining Pump Seal FAQ
What seal faces survive slurry?
Silicon-carbide against silicon-carbide. Nothing softer lasts in abrasive solids — ceramic and carbon wear out in weeks where SiC/SiC runs for months.
Should I switch from gland packing to a mechanical seal?
Often yes — a mechanical seal cuts the gland-water cost, dilution and housekeeping that packing wastes. It has to be specified for the duty, with the right flush plan.
Can you match Warman seals?
Yes — we build heavy-duty cartridge and component seals to Warman, Metso and KSB slurry-pump dimensions, or machine to a sample for obsolete pumps.
