Mechanical Seals
JCI Industries, Inc. is the exclusive provider of Flowserve Fluid Sealing Devices in Kansas, Western Missouri, and Nebraska. We offer a complete line of seals including cartridge seals, dry-running seals, metal bellows, elastomeric bellows, split seals and gas barrier seals for zero emissions.We also carry bearing protection devices and seal chamber auxiliary equipment.
We stock complete cartridge and component seals for all ANSI and API pumps, and maintain over $250,000 of seal related inventory. JCI’s seals specialist has 60+ years of experience, including seal application design & recommendation, seal failure analysis, and complete seal repair and installation.
Flowserve heritage product lines include BW/IP, Pacific Wietz, Durametallic, Five Star, and Pac-Seal. BW/IP was engineered API type seal, Pacific Wietz the gas seals came from, Durametallic and Five Star were the ANSI market seals and the Pac-Seal are for the OEM market.

PSS 4 Split Seal
The Flowserve PSS 4 is the next generation split seal that is ideal for increasing production capacity through reduced equipment downtime. This split seal is easy to install and is a unitized component, semi-cartridge design that installs around the shaft, outside the seal chamber with the pump or mixer fully assembled. No setting dimensions or measurements are required.- Key features:
- Split mechanical seal for pumps & agitator
- Semi-cartridge split seal for non-hazardous liquid services
- Split seal installation reduces equipment downtime
- Design features enable first installation success and solid long-term performance
- Pressure capability of 300 psi with excursions to 450 psi satisfies most industrial pump services
- Pre-engineered for a wide range of equipment
See the following instructional video on the proper installation procedures for the PSS4 split seal:
Flowserve Diamond Seal Face Coating:
REDUCE Operating Cost by 90% without reducing reliability
-
- Difficult Applications for a simplicity of a Single Seal:
- Dry running services
- Abrasive particles
- Contaminated processes
- Low lubricity fluids
- Mix of Gas & Liquids (due to vertical orientation, upstream agitation or poor venting)
- Difficult Applications for a simplicity of a Single Seal:
-
- Eliminate or Reduce Expensive External Components:
- External flush fluid
- External cooling
- Barrier fluid systems
- Eliminate or Reduce Expensive External Components:
-
- In the past, external clean, cool fluid was used to lubricate seal faces or dual seals operating on clean barrier fluid. Now, the solution is to use Diamond Coated Silicon Carbide Faced Seal (UNCD) and let the process fluid itself lubricate the seal even with challenging applications.
-
- Benefits include:
Lowest friction seal face for cool running- Maximum abrasion resistance
- Highest chemical resistance
- High wear resistance
- Use the “challenging” process fluid to lubricate the seal without damage
- Retrofit into most seal services without modification to seal or pump
- ISC2, QB, BZ, SLM, SLC, Slurry Seals
- Benefits include:

- See improved performance of replacing John Crane Type 21 ™ with a Pac-Seal 21 utilizing a crimped-head rotary unit removing metal contact from the seal ring and preventing foreign material from collecting under the bellows.
ISC2 Cartridge Seal
- Standard cartridge mechanical seals provide exceptional reliability and standardization in a wide variety of industrial applications and service conditions. ISC2 seals are designed to fit hundreds of pump and rotating equipment models from global manufacturers.
- Requires less inventory, Provides greater flexibility, Offers less downtime and longer seal life.
