Goulds 3180 9 Goulds Dynamic Seal option is ideally suited to handle the tough applications where conventional mechanical seals or packing require outside flush and/or constant, costly attention. This option allows pumping slurries without an external flush. A repeller between the stuffing box cover and impeller pumps liquid from the stuffing box while the pump is running. A diaphragm seal prevents leakage when the pump is not operating. Benefits of Goulds Dynamic Seal:  External seal water not required.  Elimination of pumpage contamination or product dilution.  Eliminates problems and costs associated with piping from a remote source.
