Consulting & engineering
Once all the seals in a plant have been recorded and analyzed, we draw up standardization concepts based on the actual situation. What we aim to do is to optimize the number of seal types, sizes, and materials used, and to improve the key figures for the plant. We advise on rules and legal regulations, and illustrate the measures that need to be taken.
The benefits to you:
- Systematic and consistent analysis as a reliable basis for developing suitable measures
- Potential improvements are highlighted, e.g. standardization with the aim of optimizing seal types, sizes, and materials
- Advice on technical versions and alternatives
Technical analysis and support
A team of sealing specialists works to eliminate process disruptions or “bad actors.” Using state-of-the-art methods such as thermal imaging or data logging, critical positions for the operation of the plant are diagnosed, and remedial actions are drawn up. We carry out tests under application-oriented conditions on test benches or in original pumps at our research and development centers. The goals are to extend the MTBF, and increase plant availability.
Maintenance
Our fitters and technicians take care of all types of seal maintenance, either at the plant or at the Service Center: assembly, commissioning, servicing, modernization, and repairs. Data relating to the seal's functions, such as the causes of a failure, measures to eliminate damage or costs is recorded and documented. This makes it possible to continuously assess the seal’s service life and maintenance costs, providing a sound basis for action to optimize service intervals and plant availability.
Seminars & training
True to the motto of “By professionals for professionals”, we offer extensive continuing education courses on the subject of sealing technology. These are suitable for maintenance and service personnel, production managers and production engineers from the oil and gas, chemical, refinery, power station, food, paper, and pharmaceutical industries. Courses include group seminars, individual training courses, and training courses tailored to specific needs. They are held on our own premises, or at a different location if requested by the customer.
Inventory management
We can develop an inventory management concept for complete seals and spare parts, which is tailored to individual requirements and the applicable quality specifications. We also optimize the stocks held on site or at the EagleBurgmann Service Center. Our customers benefit from optimized inventories, reduced administration costs, and reliable availability of spares. Only genuine spare parts are used.
Service module: on-site service
Our on-site service includes inspection service, retrofitting, and mobile service. This allows us to set up a service unit on our customer’s premises. The vehicles are equipped with the necessary range of seals, and are supported by qualified staff. On site we ensure that from gaskets, mechanical seals to expansion joints are available, exactly as needed. We also provide complete documentation, and advise our customers on how to choose and install seals. Our range of services is topped off with complete retrofit packages conforming to the TA-Luft, for example.
