WHO REMEMBERS "OL' LONELY?"

A humorous and long lasting ad campaign by a well-known home appliance maker, Maytag, featured a character "0I' Lonely", their repair technician.
The series of TV commercials showed 0I' Lonely bemoaning the forlorn life of repair technician because the appliances were just "too dependable" and "too rugged". As such, they never broke down and no one called him for service. He just wasn't needed, except by his faithful dog, Newton.


AN INCREDIBLE SUCCESS STORY

In the power industry, equipment reliability is priority number one! EagleBurgmann DiamondFace innovative face technology has been a game changer, and is threatening to make our seal repair staff pretty lonely.

Take for example the Reactor Feed Water Pump seals at Quad Cities, a nuclear power plant owned by Exelon. The plant was experiencing run times between 8,000 and 15,000 hours before upgrading to EagleBurgmann DF­ SA seals in 2011. After over 76,000 hours, the EagleBurgmann seals are still running! Exelon has plans to replace the seals in 2027 and 2028, during a rotor change. That will put the seals at over 130,000 run hours, a 10x improvement!

 

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EAGLEBURGMANN REPAIR TECHNICIANS?

Exelon can boast today of operating one of the world's langest running Reactor Feed Pump Seals! lncreasing MTBPM can significantly reduce equipment life-cycle costs. Why not join the ranks of Exelon and the many other end user clients who have upgraded to our DiamondFace seals.

But what about the EagleBurgmann repair technicians: they do not see enough of these seals coming in for repair. Are they lonely? Certainly not - we are still one of the few mechanical seal companies proficient in repairing competitors' engineered seals, which is keeping us very busy. Making our customers happy and more profitable: that is what drives us every day!
