Savings of £450,000 were made by NASH’s upgrading and re-use of six Flowserve BWI/P GUHTW-4250 and Flowserve BWI/P GU-3250 seals used on MOL and MOL booster pumps operated by an ageing North Sea platform.

A year-on-year £150,000 repair cost saving was made on EagleBurgmann HSMR5S1-D1-400-KB2-A1 and EagleBurgmann HSMR5S1-130 mechanical seals operating on another pharmaceutical maker’s high-dependency Krauss Maffei Vertical Cone Dryer.

A problem causing £20,000 repair and £120,000 lost production costs due to three unnecessary John Crane T151 Coaxial Cartridge changes in three months was diagnosed and eliminated by NASH in four days.

Buhler Seal and Bearing Head problems on an ink manufacturer’s Buhler Cobra Vertical Bead Mill were resolved by NASH through an extension of seal life, reduced downtime and avoiding costly pressurised double seal unit upgrades.

NASH eliminated significant unplanned outages on North Sea main oil line (MOL) pumps caused by poor John Crane Flexibox DRSP-1000 seal performance. MTBF was extended from four weeks to three years. Crude output losses stopped. Maintenance costs were cut.

NASH achieved a 50% reduction in barrier gas consumption by repairing John Crane CK738G seals and reconfiguring them as John Crane CK738GD seals on an Eire pharmaceutical maker’s six Pfaudler glass-lined reactors in just four-weeks.

Output was restored within 24-hours on a Netzsch LMZ Bead Mill suffering a EagleBurgmann MR1SF5-125 double seal unit failure through NASH’s guaranteed next-day assessment, repair and delivery service.

Another printing ink manufacturer’s plant downtime was reduced by NASH from four weeks to four days during a Pfaudler Flexeal UF8 seal cartridge refurbishment project on four newly-commissioned Pfaudler glass-lined reactors that saved potentially £600,000 in lost production.
