2. Agricultural Equipment
In addition to safeguarding the quality and authenticity of agricultural products, seals also contribute to promoting sustainability in the industry. Many seals are awarded to products that meet certain environmental and social criteria, encouraging farmers to adopt more eco-friendly practices. By supporting sustainable agriculture, seals help in preserving the environment for future generations.
The performance of high pressure hydraulic shaft seals largely depends on the materials used in their construction. Common materials include nitrile rubber (NBR), fluorocarbon (FKM), polyurethane (PU), and PTFE (Teflon). Each material has unique properties that make it suitable for specific temperature ranges, chemical exposures, and pressure levels.
3. Extended Equipment Lifespan Regularly replacing worn or damaged seals can significantly extend the life of hydraulic cylinders. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs, contributing to a more profitable operation.
- Material Selection The choice of seal material is critical. Common materials include rubber, polyurethane, and thermoplastics, each with distinct properties suitable for different applications. Temperature, pressure, and chemical compatibility must be considered during material selection.
- Domestic Water Supply Rural households can benefit from these pumps to access clean water for drinking and sanitation, enhancing their quality of life.
