Nash launches ProA SealCare

Keyword: Seals

Bolton based aftermarket specialist Nash Mechanical Seal Services has recently introduced a service called ProA SealCare. The service is designed to meet the changing needs of process companies as they focus on core business and seek to outsource the responsibility for seal maintenance and performance. Nash, an independent company, specialises in the supply, repair and effective function of high performance mechanical seals used on critical rotating plant including compressors, turbines, heavy-duty pumps and agitators.

The essence of ProA SealCare is that Nash assumes responsibility for addressing all the factors affecting seal performance as seals are removed and refitted to rotating equipment. This guarantees the short to medium term performance of seals and provides a solid platform for introducing long-term reliability programmes to improve plant efficiency and reduce the total costs of ownership.

Key features of ProA SealCare include an evaluation of the design and construction of seals to ensure they remain suitable for the duty. Comprehensive condition reports accurately detail the condition of seals and remedial action required. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) identifies the reasons for poor seal performance and effective post service site support ensures that all seals are fitted and commissioned correctly. The service can also be extended to include responsibility for seal stock.

Barry Hoyle, Managing Director of Nash, said; "We are a niche market company specialising in high end critical plant seals and users have always come to us because they need to be certain that their seals will work when they go back into service. ProA SealCare works proactively in taking much greater responsibility for seal maintenance and performance. This allows companies to maintain and ultimately improve seal and plant reliability as they reduce the scope of their own engineering function and focus on core business"

ProA SealCare is the cornerstone of four services. ProA SiteCare is a performance driven service improve long-term seal reliability and plant output. ProA VesselCare and ProA PumpCare are services specifically designed for companies looking to outsource the responsibility for the overhaul and performance of vessels and pumps together with associated equipment.
