overview Slide 2 MTZ 540AF Specially designed for the pulp & paper industry applications: Black liquor Red Liquor Paper Stock Slide 3 MTZ 540AF Stuffing Box Pressure: up to 2 BAR. (37 psi) P.H: 0-14 Temperature: up to 120c (248 F) Max speed: 9 m/s (30 f/s) Max run out: ~0.05 mm at stuffing box face (0.002) Dimensions: comes in imperial and metric sizes Depending on size and operating conditions Stuffing Box Pressure: up to 2 BAR. (37 psi) P.H: 0-14 Temperature: up to 120c (248 F) Max speed: 9 m/s (30 f/s) Max run out: ~0.05 mm at stuffing box face (0.002) Dimensions: comes in imperial and metric sizes Depending on size and operating conditions Metal Parts: 304 SST standard Hastelloy, Monel, Alloy 20 and specials by demand Secondary Seals: NBR Viton or equal Kalrez or equal Sealing Rings: Graphite based PTFE based Kevlar based Sealant: Graphite based PTFE based Metal Parts: 304 SST standard Hastelloy, Monel, Alloy 20 and specials by demand Secondary Seals: NBR Viton or equal Kalrez or equal Sealing Rings: Graphite based PTFE based Kevlar based Sealant: Graphite based PTFE based Slide 4 MTZ 540AF Main advantages: Does not require water flush low energy cost A typical mill has 2000+ pumps. So 2000 x 5 = 10,000 GPM of water just to flush and cool stuffing boxes on pumps. Tamar MTZ is at 2000 x 0.2 = 400 GPM. Quite a difference! Uninfluenced by closed suction / discharge No fragile faces no sudden shut-down Visual indication for preventive maintenance with optional seal call On line maintenance (quarterly-semi annually) low cost refurbish Slide 5 MTZ 540AF Seal appearance Booster Connection 1/2" NPT Cooling water input/output Not distinguished The cooling water connections are 1/4" NPT. Air flush connection The air flush connections are 1/4" NPT.

Crenellated sleeve2. Balanced axial injection 3. Sliding bearing structure 4. Sealing components rotation stopper 5. Closed circuit cooling 7. Threw cooling sealant injection 8. Active collar 6. Complete Separation by air flush Slide 8 Operation Principle Air flushed into the seal provides a complete phase separation between the process and the sealant The sealant along with the MTZ known booster acts to minimize flushed air discharge to the atmosphere Cooling water is circulated in a closed jacket and does not mix with the process The amount of flushed air is typically 10 l/min Cooling water flow rate is typically 10 l/min Booster pressure in typically 2.5 Bar Slide 9 Air Flush Ring Air flush Path to atmospheric side Air flush inlet Positive air pressure bubble chamber Air flush Path to process side Slide 10 The MTZ 540 seal comes complete with a control panel that has all the necessary instrumentation to operate the seal as shown below MTZ Control Panel Index 1Air regulator 2Water tap connection 3Air flow meter 4Pressure gage 1-4 5Pressure gage 1-10 1 53 2 Tube 3/8 to Booster Water Line for cooling system 4 Tube 3/8 to Air Flush Slide 11 Applications: Centrifugal pump With expellers ANSI pumps Successfully installed in USA pulp and paper plants: Evergreen, PCA, Finch Paper and more.

There are two main reason for fast attrition: 1. Over compression The extra material will find its way out of the seal, mainly to the atmosphere 2. Run-out more than expected Sealant can slip to the process and some leakage can be detected. If the run out was short, the seal can recover itself by the reservoir sealant Whats the Attrition Rate of Sealing Material? Slide 15 The normal clearance is equal to mechanical seal about 0.05mm, but for short time the seal can hold run outs of about 0.1mm What is the maximum clearances the seal can take? Slide 16 No, the seal is designed for ANSI pumps and can plug and play to most pumps. Do we need to change the pump for this seal? Slide 17 We can supply a small compressor. We Dont Have Air Available Where the Pump is Located. What Do We Do Now? Slide 18 We can supply a small water cooling system. We Dont Have cooling tower, What Do We Do Now? Slide 19 The amount of the sealant is about 50gr, MTZ designed to direct the extra sealant to the atmosphere side, so it is not likely that sealant will get into your process. In the HL (High Speed) we are using in most of the cases a graphite sealant and in food approval application we are using a food approved sealant (PTFE + other food approval materials). What If This Stuff Gets into My Process Liquid and into My System? Slide 20 The pressure depends on many factors: shaft size, speed, shaft deflection, run outs, heat, process viscosity, etc. In water process and usual condition the S.B pressure can reach up to 2 bars in small pumps and 1 bar in medium pumps How High a Pressure Can I Seal? Slide 21 The installation is very simple, it is cartridge plug and play system, please review the installation sheet. It Looks Like Installation Can Be Prone to Human Error Slide 22 When using Graphite the seal can work in 194 degree F using cooling water. We do not have experience yet but theoretically it can work around 482 F when using cooling oil or steam What Temperature Can This Seal Handle? Slide 23 The seal creates about 0.5KW The cooling system can deal with about 1.5KW How much heat the seal creates Slide 24 The seal can work hours without the air pressure, in time, a leakage will happen. Connecting the air pressure will reactivate the seal and the leakage will stop. What Happens If I Lose Air Pressure? Slide 25 There are several cases that the seal will fail: 1. Working without air pressure - opening the air and the seal will reactivate 2. Working without cooling water the temperature will rise, it can damage the seal. 3. Run out more than expected when the run out will return to normal the seal will return to normal operation 4. Wear out of the sleeve When This Thing Fails, How Does It Happen? Slide 26 It depends on many factors but in general it should hold about 2 years till the user will need to replace it. In that time regular maintenance should be done. What Mean Time Between Repair (MTBR) Can I Expect? Slide 27 The cost is about like other mechanical seals Most likely about 800 1000 $/inch shaft size What Does This Thing Cost? Slide 28 We agree! Our product is definitely not Injectable packing! Its a cooled, constant pressure controlling system. It is scientifically based and its well proven solution. The seal is a cartridge, plug & play unit. Weve Used Injectable Packing Before It Stinks! Slide 29 Thank You!
