Inpro Seal with trico Constant oiler...............
Inpro Seal with trico Constant oiler...............
(OP)
Hi all,
We have picked up a problem with a pump in the chemical industry.The pump has had a Inpro-vbx bearing isolator fitted.The pump has constant oiler and a normal breather.The client is complaning that the oil is draining off to quickly from the constant oiler into the pumps housing.The oil then is above the level of the seal and therefore drains away through the seal's drain motion.
The bearing isolator supplier has advised that the breather and constant oiler be removed with both holes been sealed and a site glass be fitted with a top-up pointbeen fitted.
Any persons..................

The length of the isolator has increased from 13mm to +30mm in the mean time!
We have physically measured the bearing housings to ensure the settings of the oilers are correct and played with the housing vents to no avail.
Isolators are susceptible to higher oil levels, but we are not convinced that Inpro or their agents understand the mechanics of the oil in bearing housing, as they have suggested it is the pump manufacturers problem.
