Ease of fitment, simple maintenance cartridge design with popular slurry pump conversion kits available
Abrasion and corrosion resistant materials promote longevity in service
Seal design together with pump features coordinate to allow single-face flushless sealing of slurries up to 60%solids by weight
Stationary face mutlispring design has springs isolated and far from pumped media
Large and open inner seal chamber that self-evacuates and doesn’t pack in and hold heat
For special circumstances, outboard lip seal installed and Plan 62 grease or water quench provide lubrication to the seal faces during dry-running pump cycles

4 Slurry Seal Configuration Options

RKCS Version A

Integral Spring Shield is manufactured from a flexible and durable material to effectively shield the springs from debris and slurry during operation. Compatible with API 682 Plan 32. Flush connection optional.

RKCS Version B
(For grease-filled operation)

Addition of bolt-on lip seal assembly and two (2) additional O-rings. Compatible with API 682 Plan 32. Flush connection optional.

RKCS Version C

(Quench operation)

Fluid Guide Sleeve added to Version B to support the effective removal of debris during quench operation. Compatible with API 682 Plan 32. Flush connection optional.

RKCD (Dual Seal)

A dual seal option designed for the most rigorous slurry processes. In addition to Version C’s Fluid Guide Sleeve, this option is engineered for optimum service when paired with either an API 682 Plan 53A buffer or API 682 Plan 54 barrier fluid seal support system.
