Cartridge seal R-CARTEX (SN) - single balanced seal with flushing connection. It is a fully assembled unit for use in the stuffing boxes of pumps, in particular centrifugal ones, with any direction of rotation. The R-CARTEX (SN) seal is ideal for use in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, sugar and food, paper industries, in the production of beverages, in water supply. A system for supplying a sealing fluid is required.
