Agitator Mechanical Seal

Agitators offer a unique problem for mechanical seals. Because most mixers or agitators are mounted on top or on the side of a vessel the long shaft being used to mix or agitate usually has an issue with run out. The longer the shaft the bigger the run-out. Agitator Mixer Seals are similar to pump seals with one major exception, they are more prone to shaft runout.
