The older Drylock 1 static seal as been upgraded to the newer Drylock 3 to increase longevity of seal and ensure safety. The upgrade has provided for a safe working environment for all as well as top grade product quality (no dilution), another big concern of our customers with pumping systems that use flush for mechanical and compression packing seals from competiors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_2&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AN-Pump.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bbAN-Pump\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; background_color=\u00bb#f4f4f4&#8243; custom_margin=\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px|20px||20px|false|false\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_button button_url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/WilfleyCaseStudyExplosives_v1.pdf\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text=\u00bbDOWNLOAD CASE STUDY\u00bb button_alignment=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=\u00bbbutton_url\u00bb][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00bb1&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; background_enable_color=\u00bboff\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00bb][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_2&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/A7-Pump-copy.png\u00bb title_text=\u00bbA7-A9-Pump\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; custom_padding=\u00bb|||20px|false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_2&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Wilfley<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>Model A9<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Key Features \/ Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">Waterless  sealing technology.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Leakless seal operation<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Operational abuse tolerant<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Product dilution eliminated<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Wear resistance material of construction<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Heavy-Duty construction<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Longer L10 bearing life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\u00bb@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjM3ODkifX0=@\u00bb button_text=\u00bbView Product\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=\u00bbbutton_url\u00bb][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>WILFLEY A9 INCREASES SAFETY AND RELIABILITY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The manufacture of energetics, nitrocellulose, military explosives, and industrial explosives has evolved in response to technology, capabilities, and demand.
