Seal Replacement & Compatibility Support
From Failure to Fit — Fast.
At Sakowitz, we specialize in helping maintenance and reliability teams replace worn, obsolete, or hard-to-source mechanical seals—without redesigning existing equipment or compromising uptime. Whether you operate pumps, agitators, mixers, or chemical reactors under critical service conditions, our mission is to deliver drop-in equivalents or engineered retrofit adapters that are verified for fit, material compatibility, and duty performance.
The result: you restore operations quickly, cut unplanned downtime, and avoid costly risks to reliability.
Our Rapid Replacement Workflow
- Application Intake
We start with a structured intake process to fully understand your application:- Equipment model & operating conditions
- Shaft size, stuffing box / gland dimensions
- Process medium, temperature, pressure, and speed
- Site-specific challenges (abrasive slurries, corrosive fluids, dry-running risks, etc.)
This ensures we capture all critical data before engineering the replacement.
- Engineering Cross-Reference
Our engineering team cross-checks your seal against OEM families such as John Crane, EagleBurgmann, Flowserve, AES, Flex-A-Seal, and others.- If a standard equivalent exists, we recommend a verified match.
- If discontinued or customized, we can reverse-engineerfrom your drawings, damaged samples, or installation details.
- For multi-plant users, we consolidate references into a compatibility database for easier future replacements.
- Fit & Materials Confirmation
- All tolerances verified (API 682 where applicable)
- Seal faces, elastomers, and metallurgy matched to service fluid and duty
- Optional upgrades for enhanced life (SiC vs TC, Viton vs FFKM, Alloy 20 vs SS316, etc.)
This ensures that the replacement not only fits—but performs.
- Quote & Lead Time
- Fast quotations with clear compatibility sheetsand outline drawings for approval
- Transparent lead times (stock, expedited, or engineered-to-order)
- Cost-benefit options for OEM equivalent vs engineered retrofit
- Delivery & Install Support
- Seals shipped with installation guidelinesand technical drawings
- Optional trial kitsfor urgent failures or pilot runs
Post-installation support and adjustments to confirm proper sealing performance
