Ribbon Mixer Leaking Powder! Now's the Time for a Rotary Shaft Seal Retrofit
2025-08-05
Recently, Bolifei received urgent online feedback from a customer regarding persistent powder leakage from a ribbon mixer in their production workshop. This phenomenon not only resulted in powder waste and environmental pollution, but also posed a potential threat to equipment efficiency. The customer urgently needed a targeted technical solution to address the problem.
Upon receiving this feedback, Bolifei quickly activated its customer response mechanism, engaging in in-depth technical discussions with the customer through online interactive text and video chats. Based on the customer's actual shaft end leakage information, the technical team accurately identified the core issue: the powder particles were large and dust accumulation was significant, and sufficient axial clearance was available, demonstrating clear feasibility for retrofit. Furthermore, the original equipment stuffing box utilized a bolted design, facilitating subsequent removal and replacement of the seal assembly.
Further operating verification confirmed that the equipment operated in an open silo environment, at ambient temperature and pressure, with a measured speed stable within 50 rpm, fully meeting the sealing system retrofit standards.
In response to the customer's specific needs, Polyfibre developed a customized shaft seal upgrade solution—replacing the existing packing seal with a proprietary rotary shaft seal. This solution not only fundamentally addresses the powder leakage issue but also maintains the ease of maintenance of the existing structure. This fully embodies Polyfibre's "customer-centric" technical service philosophy and demonstrates Polyfibre's ability to provide customized solutions in the industrial sealing field.
Moving forward, Polyfibre will continue to optimize its customer response system. Leveraging its professional technical team and extensive industry experience, Polyfibre will provide more industrial enterprises with precise sealing solutions, helping them improve production efficiency and environmental management.
