Cosun Beet Company

In 2013 we installed the first Liquidyne® seals at the sugar factory in Dinteloord. These pump shaft seals have been running for more than 7 years. All without maintenance in the meantime! For the production process, Cosun Beet Company uses, among other things, slurry pumps and carbos pumps. The Liquidyne 3-Stage and Liquidyne LDS are now used on a majority of these process pumps.

From gland packing to Liquidyne seal

Due to the good experiences, we replaced two gland packings for Liquidyne seals in the summer of 2018. Cosun Beet Company had problems with the leakage of these slurry pumps. The shaft sleeve had to be replaced every 4 months. For this, the pumps had to be completely decoupled and overhauled in the workshop. The maintenance costs were high and decreased the availability of the pump. The gland packing had to be checked daily to avoid damage to the bearing. Leakage was also undesirable in the context of safety. With the Liquidyne, the maintenance interval has been considerably extended, leaks are a thing of the past and the workplace remains clean and safe.
