High Performance Lantern Restrictor 118C23 118C02 China Suppliers Factory
The Lantern Restrictor is a critical shaft seal component specifically engineered for high-performance slurry pumps. Strategically positioned between the pump impeller and the packing ring, this precision-engineered part functions as a specialized lantern ring designed to optimize the delivery of flushing water to the sealing area.
Engineered for full-flow gland seal systems, the Lantern Restrictor ensures a consistent and concentrated injection of flushing water. This prevents abrasive slurry particles from entering the packing area, significantly reducing wear on the shaft and extending the overall operational lifespan of your pump equipment in the most demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
While both distribute flushing water, the lantern restrictor is designed to handle and direct a higher volume of water specifically for full-flow gland seals, providing superior protection against abrasive slurry penetration.
The 118C23 is designed for heavy-duty slurry pumps utilizing full-flow gland seals. Please verify your pump's technical manual or contact our engineers for exact model matching.
Inspection frequency depends on the abrasiveness of the medium. However, we recommend checking the seal water flow and the condition of the restrictor during every scheduled pump overhaul.
This specific part is optimized for slurry pumps handling abrasive materials. For sewage or clean water pumps, different sealing configurations are typically used.
Up to a certain limit, yes. The restrictor is designed for higher water requirements to push solids away from the shaft. However, excessive pressure should be avoided to prevent seal blowout.
Yes, we provide OEM casting services and can manufacture restrictors based on your specific technical drawings and material requirements.
