Case Studies
Preventing Oil Leakage from a Pulper Gearbox
A paper mill was experiencing oil leakage from a pulper gearbox due to a deteriorated sheet gasket. With limited time available for repairs, Chesterton ARC 5ES and ARC 858 provided an effective solution that eliminated leakage without equipment disassembly, allowing operations to continue without interruption.
Read MoreImproving Cooling Water Pump Efficiency and Reliability
A chemical plant was experiencing severe shaft seal leakage, vibration and reduced cooling water pump efficiency due to corrosion in the stuffing box. Using Chesterton ARC coatings and upgraded gland packing, the plant reduced leakage and vibration, improved pump efficiency, and achieved annual energy savings of approximately $9,700 USD.
Read MoreExtending Screen Rotor Service Life with ARC MX1
A paper mill was experiencing significant screen rotor wear after just 18 months of operation due to abrasive materials, including staples and sand. Applying Chesterton ARC MX1 provided long-term wear protection, extending rotor service life to over seven years and improving equipment durability.
Read MoreEliminating Hydraulic Control Unit Leakage
A steel mill was experiencing recurring oil leakage from hydraulic valves and control systems, with seals requiring frequent replacement. Upgrading to Chesterton AWC800 polymer seals eliminated oil leakage, extended seal life, reduced maintenance labour, and improved the working environment around the equipment.
Read MoreReducing Water Pump Leakage with a Split Mechanical Seal
A printing plant was experiencing recurring water pump leakage, frequent packing maintenance, and high energy consumption. Upgrading to a Chesterton 442C split mechanical seal avoided pump removal, reduced energy consumption by 14%, and delivered significant labour and maintenance savings.
Read MoreImproving Multistage Pump Sealing with a Mechanical Seal and SpiralTrac®
A chemical plant was experiencing heavy leakage from a multistage cooling water pump due to slurry in the fluid. A Chesterton mechanical seal and SpiralTrac® upgrade delivered four years of leak-free operation with no maintenance required, while significantly reducing maintenance labour.
Read MorePreventing Roller Belt Slippage with Chesterton 730 Spragrip®
A paper mill was experiencing flat belt slippage during winter and in wet operating conditions. Chesterton 730 Spragrip® eliminated belt slippage, improved equipment reliability, and helped extend belt and pulley service life.
Read MoreShaft Sealing Improvement for a Screw Conveyor
A food processing plant was experiencing cornstarch powder leakage from a screw conveyor shaft seal after only two months of operation. A Chesterton sealing upgrade addressed shaft eccentricity and runout, delivering over one year of leak-free operation and annual savings of ¥500,000.
Read MoreSealing Improvement for Equipment Where Retightening is Not Possible
A chemical plant was experiencing frequent catalyst leakage and gland packing adjustments on a vacuum dryer. Upgrading to Chesterton packing extended the maintenance interval from 3 to 17 months, increased Mean Time Between Repairs by 560%, and supported safer, more stable operation.
Read MoreARC Corrosion Protection for Roller Table Gearbox Internals
A steel mill was experiencing corrosion inside roller table gearboxes, causing oil degradation and costly annual maintenance. Chesterton ARC S5 provided long-term corrosion protection, with no corrosion or oil degradation observed after 2 years and 7 months, while reducing maintenance costs.
