Overhauling the electric motor is an option during workshop maintenance.<\/p>\n<h3>When should a mechanical seal be replaced?<\/h3>\n<p>At the latest when there is leakage, unusual barrier fluid consumption or noise. A planned replacement during maintenance, before consequential damage occurs, is better.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a used mechanical seal be refurbished?<\/h3>\n<p>Often, yes. We inspect the seal and refurbish it where technically sensible. Otherwise we supply and fit a spare part.<\/p>\n<p class=\"svt-stand\" style=\"font-size:13px;color:#6b7378;margin:24px 0 8px\">Last updated: October 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"svt-note\">All trademarks mentioned, in particular Vakumix and NETZSCH, are the property of their respective owners and are used solely to identify the products offered.
