Alternative Rear oil seal design saves time and effort on PAP Plus and Polaris FS Elliott Equipment

We have improved the design of the FS Elliott PAP and Polaris compressor rear oil seal design to allow users of the compressor to exchange the rear oil seal without the need to remove the drive coupling and in some cases the driver (electric motor or steam turbine) the split seal we use enables you to remove the old plastic seal assembly from the shaft with a Dremel or similar tool then roll over our split seal onto the shaft , finally placing both of the Ztechnique split design seal holder together on the shaft wit a small amount of sealer across the mating surfaces and join with Loctite the o ring for the rear seal into the compressor body. All in all this modified replacement seal design should take around 2 hours, saving huge amounts of time and money compared to the previous OEM repair. If you are interested in learning more about this alternative product and wish to order a rear split seal assembly. Please tell us your modela nd serial number to ensure we order you tyhe correct part. This item is currenty fits 2" shaft assemblys. For larger solutions please contact us
