AW Chesterton Matrix Sealing for Leaks

Matrix Seal Stop Heavy Leaks from Bearing Housing- Extends Reliability

Challenge
Issue
A large flood remediation station was preparing for hurricane season. They were refurbishing all large water pumps in preparation.

The initial seals installed were oversized and leaked excessive amounts of lubricant from the bearing housing. The machines were too large to dismantle and install new unsplit seals in time for potential flooding.

Shafts were refurbished and in good condition.
