SpiralTrac is a revolutionary environmental controller for seal and packing chambers, and has established new standards worldwide for exploiting the maximum performance potential of rotating process equipment in the pulp & paper industry.
A SpiralTrac Enhanced Environment increases the sealing element life, while decreasing flush and product leakage at the same time.
Typical pulp & paper industry application include rotating process equipment in pulping (digester/washer), bleach plant, papermaking, recovery (evaporators, causticizing, boiler), and effluent areas. Listed below are some industry sample applications where SpiralTrac has been proven. For more detailed stories, find our Pulp & Paper industry successes in the library.
