In a challenging industrial environment, a discharge pond filled with bituminous sands, dense oils, rubber fragments, and large, abrasive debris, conventional pumping systems simply couldn’t keep up.
This is where custom engineering truly proves its worth. Because sealing a shaft is not enough: sometimes you need to rethink the system from the ground up to ensure performance, endurance, and reliability.
Aware of the operational complexity, the client introduced a number of advanced process upgrades that demanded a sealing solution capable of matching their performance:
These upgrades required a mechanical seal able to operate in harsh, abrasive conditions, with long service intervals and maximum durability.

Huhnseal engineered a custom double-acting mechanical seal, fully integrated with the client’s system.
Designed for highly abrasive slurry environments, the seal delivered outstanding durability, dynamic sealing capability, and long-lasting performance, becoming a key part of a system that now sets a new industry benchmark.
This project shows what happens when process innovation meets customized sealing expertise.
At Huhnseal, we listen, we analyze, we engineer.
And above all: we build what others can’t.
