DF-M7N DiamondFace for tank drainage pumps

The chemical company Global Amines is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of special chemicals. The "Southeast Bavarian Chemical Triangle", near Altötting, Germany is the location of the Gendorf plant. Global Amines produces preliminary, intermediate and finished chemical products here. EagleBurgmann successfully converted a chemical standard pump from a competitor's seal to an EagleBurgmann DF-M7N DiamondFace mechanical seal and achieved significantly increased pump and system availability.
