Work Completed

  • Performed a full teardown and inspection

  • Completed cleaning, abrasive preparation, and machining

  • Restored worn surfaces and internal fits

  • Machined off the original stuffing box from the back cover

  • Custom-designed and manufactured a new stuffing box from 17-4 HT stainless steel, engineered and heat-treated for exceptional strength and durability. Installed and sealed with A.W. Chesterton Company 860 MPG Moldable Polymer Gasketing

  • Shrink-fit the SpiralTrac™ system (EnviroSeal Engineering Products Ltd.) to improve seal performance and extend equipment life

  • Rebuilt surface profiles with A.W. Chesterton Company BX1 due to extreme erosion
