How to Maximize Mechanical Seal Tracking in Your CMMS
2022-03-22 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
The benefits of keeping up with mechanical seal usage are huge. In many cases, seals act as a fuse that fails because of an overload in the pumping system. Upon investigation we find that the seal failure was only a symptom of bigger process problems.
Often, end users do not effectively and efficiently leverage their computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) to track their mechanical seal processes and inventory: from purchasing, to seal rebuild, to storage and replacement per the manufacturer’s instructions. Using a CMMS to manage and track mechanical seal practices helps teams know the full history, identify and eliminate causes of failure, and schedule exactly when seals should be replaced based on actual hours of operation.
In this webinar, Chris Tindell, Midwest regional manager for SEPCO, will detail:

How to better leverage Maximo to track and maintain your mechanical seal repairs and inventory.
The major sources of seal failure and how to mitigate them.
Case examples about how end users have used failure code data to correct maintenance and operations processes issues and improve pump reliability.
