Waukesha 23-17 Purebide Ring 200 Pumps W 9-37 Gasket Orings

Description:

The Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 23-17 Purebide Ring is a stationary mechanical seal component designed for use in Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 200 Series sanitary centrifugal pumps. Manufactured from Purebide material, this stationary seal provides a durable, wear-resistant sealing surface within the pump's mechanical seal assembly, helping prevent product leakage, maintain sanitary operation, and extend seal life in demanding processing environments. The 23-17 seal is commonly used in Type 1 and Type 4 seal configurations and is often installed together with the 9-37 L-Gasket and seal O-rings as part of a complete pump seal rebuild.

Applications:

The Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 23-17 Purebide Ring is commonly used in 200 Series sanitary centrifugal pumps installed in food processing facilities, dairy production plants, beverage manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical processing systems, biotechnology applications, and hygienic fluid transfer equipment where reliable shaft sealing, leak prevention, sanitary operation, and long-term pump performance are required. It serves as a critical component within the mechanical seal assembly, working in conjunction with the 9-37 L-Gasket and seal O-rings to maintain product integrity and continuous pump operation.
