CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSION OF A DYNAMIC SEAL FOR A ROTATING SHAFT IN AN AGITATOR

Client: EagleBurgmann
Role: Draftsperson
Software Used: Autodesk Inventor

For this project, I designed a mechanical seal housing to accommodate a new agitator installed in a chemical processing tank. The client required a stuffing box seal to prevent steam leakage between the rotating shaft and the fixed tank wall — a robust and cost-effective solution they had previously used with success.

Working within tight spatial constraints provided by the client, I adapted the existing CAD model to meet both dimensional and operational requirements. The design had to withstand high temperatures and pressure conditions from steam exposure.

Highlights:
  • Adapted and optimized the stuffing box design based on client-specified dimensions
  • Verified compatibility with the new agitator and existing tank system
  • Ensured the seal met performance demands under steam operating conditions
  • Delivered precise 2D/3D drawings for manufacturing and installation
