With around 250 locations and 90 serve centers, we are represented in the most important economic regions of the world. The advantages are clear: short paths to our customers, fast response times and a shared language.
Multi-part seal rings, radially cut on process side, overlapped mortised with gas tight joints on atmosphere side (adjusting)
Split housing design
Lowest possible operation gap - lowest leakage
Dry running
Self-adjusting seal rings
Seal rings bear radial shaft movements
Compensates axial shaft movements
Short axial installation length
No sealing components mounted on the shaft and hence no additional shaft vibrations
Advantages
Easy installation by split housing design (shaft removal not required)
Long-term operation time
Maintainability
Segmented seal rings for easy replacement

Product variants
Espey WD200/500-WD1S1
with barrier gas port. The arrangement guarantees a focused barrier gas flow to the process side and keeps gases, solids and mists off the sealing area. In addition the leakage to the outside is reduced.
Espey WD200/500-WD1S2
with barrier gas port. The arrangement guarantees a focused barrier gas flow to the process side and keeps gases, solids and mists off the sealing area. In addition the leakage to the outside is reduced.
Espey WD200/500-WD1S3
with barrier gas port. The arrangement guarantees a focused barrier gas flow to the process side and keeps gases, solids and mists off the sealing area. In addition the leakage to the outside is reduced.
Espey WD 200/500-WD1S2A1
with barrier gas port and recirculation. The arrangement guarantees a focused barrier gas flow to the process side and keeps gases, solids and mists off the sealing area. In addition the leakage to the outside is reduced and residual gases and condensates will be purged.
