Reliability in operation: seal monitoring in a blanching system

is now available for download.

The conditions during blanching are particularly critical for the seal, as the pumped medium is pumped close to the boiling point and this often leads to evaporation in the sealing gap. Contamination from the field is an additional factor. The service life of the seal is therefore often shortened. For the seasonal production of vegetables, it is important to know how the system is doing and whether the seal needs to be replaced. Together with Packo Inox (a Verder company), we took a close look at the mechanical seal.
