Mixerpac M-Series

The M-Series seal is a genuine engineering

breakthrough...
It can be configured to operate wet, dry, or with the
latest non-contacting gas barrier technology for the
utmost in performance, application flexibility, and
economy.
lf you produce equipment to blend or mix pharmaceuticals,
food, polymers, thermoplastics, adhesives, silicones, or
any other batching mixture, theres only one mixer
platform seal you need: the new M-Series seal. Its the
only dual pressurized cartridge canister seal line
specifically engineered to meet the lower rpms, higher
pressures and increased temperatures of todays mixer,
dryer and low-speed agitating equipment designs.
In addition, the unique M-Series platform allows you to
adapt the mixer seal to changing production requirements
without investing in an entirely different seal. Thats
because you can run this revolutionary seal wet, dry, or
with the latest non-contacting gas barrier technology
by changing out the seal faces. With unprecedented
application flexibility within one cartridge unit seal
housing, the M-Series design reduces the number of
different component parts in inventory and provides
interchangeable parts across the product line for true
component standardization.
New features
The M-series now uses a fully pre-assembled rotating
unit for improved assembly and handling, resulting
in higher reliability.

A full PTFE gasketed version is available to satisfy all

corrosion and interchangebility requirements.
For the MD-200 improved carbon grades allow
contacting dry running without humidification up to
6 bar vessel pressure (certain speed limits apply).
The ML-200 allows reverse rotation up to 0.4 m/s
which can be required for certain batch processes.
Reverse pressure capability for enhanced safety in
case of barrier failure.
DIN Version
Now the M-series is also available as a DIN version,
fully complying with the DIN standards.
Steel vessel and a glass lined vessel executions are
designed for the complete size range 40 mm through
220 mm (160 mm glass lined). The steel vessel version
is also available without bearing.

Mixerpac M-Series

Handles shaft run-out up to .125" (3 mm) F.I.M.

While many mechanical mixer seals on the market
today are merely modified pump seals that do not
fully address your mixer seal problems, the M-Series
seal takes an entirely different approach. Since
mixer service frequently involves shaft run-out, bore
run-out, and O.D. run-out which can exceed the
capabilities of seals designed for centrifugal pumps,
the M-Series seal features radial clearances which
permit the seal to handle shaft run-out up to .125"
(3 mm) Full Indicator Movement (F.I.M.), and makes
the M-Series ideal for use where shaft wobble and
eccentricities are most severe. Moreover, the seals
shaft-centered cartridge design permits centering on
the shaft instead of the vessel pilot, thus making mixer
shaft to flange concentricity less critical.
Available in three seal types engineered
to fit in a standardized seal envelope
FLOWSERVE offers three different M-Series styles to
meet the performance characteristics of your particular
application. And because they are engineered for
maximum application flexibility, you may select and
then economically modify any of these seals in the
future as your production needs change:

Key features and benefits for the

M-Series platform include:
Pre-engineered seal package design permits
interchangeability of seal housing, sleeves and
glands for application in liquid-lubricated,
dry-running or full fluid film face technology.
Non-contacting gas barrier technology allows
operation down to ZERO rpm.
Provides simplified changing from a liquid lubricated
to a contacting gas, or to a non-contacting gas seal,
by merely changing both seal faces.
Tolerates up to .125" (3 mm) F.I.M. (Full Indicator
Movement) run-out.
Available in sizes from 2.000" to 6.500" (50 mm to
160 mm), DIN 40 mm to 220 mm-160 mm glass lined.
Preplanned configuration offers the greatest design
flexibility.
Standard shaft-centered seal housings reduce
the need for critical shaft to flange bore radial
alignment (concentricity).
Eye bolts and jack screws provide greater ease of
installation and removal.
Economical high alloy option for superior
performance in harsh, corrosive environments.
Accommodates sanitary gland / debris catcher
for applications requiring steam cleaning.
Cooling coil inside seal housing for efficient heat
removal in the seal area.
Designs feature pressure reversal capabilities for
greater seal integrity under off-design operation.
Hydraulically balanced stators to reduce high
pressure loading, minimizing seal face distortion
and leakage.
