IN A FLASH. The design principle of this smart technology: The Smart Stator is divided into
two parts, so that maintenance can easily be done by one person without the
need to remove either the suction or discharge pipe work. Additionally, the two
piece Smart Rotor allows for quick and easy removal and replacement without
the need to dismantle the joint or use special tools, saving time and money.
The result: Maintenance in the shortest possible time resulting in less

shorter downtime and significantly reduced life cycle costs.
Another design feature is the integrated retensioning device, which allows
This unique SEEPEX product has already won several awards the clamping between the rotor and stator to be adjusted for optimum flow
and is internationally patented. and readjusted when the flow rate reduces due to wear. Readjustment is done
in a matter of minutes, returning pump performance to the required level
without replacing any components. As such, the service life of both the rotor
and stator is significantly extended, removing the need for replacement parts
and reducing the life cycle costs of the SEEPEX pump.

Pumps with Smart Conveying Technology (SCT) can also optionally be equipped
with a sectioned seal housing. This reduces the maintenance time for the
mechanical seal and the drive-side joint to a minimum. In addition, the sectioned
housing prevents damage to the mechanical seal on all drive-side work.

EVEN FASTER
MAINTENANCE.
Smart Seal Housing allows you to service drive-
end pump components quicker and easier than
ever before.

Smart Seal Housing (SSH) is a technical addition to the tried-and-tested Smart

Conveying Technology. Previously, when maintenance was required, the
suction pipework was disconnected to move the suction casing forward and to
gain access to the mechanical seal housing, joints and drive train. SSH enables
the complete replacement of the stationary face of the seal by removing it
through the pump lantern without the need to dismantle further components.
1 2 The rotating unit can then be easily withdrawn allowing access to the rotating
face of the seal and both universal joints.

Maintenance work is reduced to only a few minutes, resulting in significantly

shorter downtime.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

y Sectioned seal casing
y Quick maintenance and easy replacement of the mechanical seal
y Easy access to the drive-side joint
y No damage to the mechanical seal during drive-side work
y No dismantling of suction casing and piping necessary
y Removal of casing cover with counter ring possible
y Suitable for standard mechanical seals
y Reduced maintenance times and costs
y Patent pending

Smart Seal Housing is optionally available for pumps with Smart Conveying
Technology. Our experts will be happy to answer your questions regarding
