Fluoroplastics feature exceptional properties
PTFE engineered parts exhibit almost universal chemical resistance over a wide temperature range.
PTFE materials provide new properties
FTL Technology offers state-of-the-art technology in PTFE, including cost-effective injection moulded parts in PTFE, tubes and components in PFA, porous PTFE and PTFE foils and films.
Available in unsplit and fully split versions, the seals will retrofit most process equipment with only minimal machine modification.
Ribbon blenders and other horizontal-shaft mixers, as well as screw conveyors, live bottom bins, reactors, dryers and other process or contained equipment is accommodated by Meco systems seals.
These simple, robust and tolerant seals are best suited for applications that prove troublesome due to shaft run-out and/or shaft misalignment.
Meco seals will generally tolerate up to 1/4" TIR.
Where necessary, greater run out can be accommodated.
Conveyor shaft seals within the range include the H and HE series, these are the original elastomer-driven conveyor seal and the ACS Adjustable Caliper Seal, to be used in situations where axial space is limited.
Semi-Custom Seals in the range include the MDU/MDS heavy-duty seals, which have been designed for easy installation and rough service in retrofit situations.
Custom seals within the range include externally adjustable seals, EA/EAS.
Many processes prohibit the occasional shutdown of equipment for seal adjustment; externally adjustable seals are ideal for such applications.
The AH and AP series represent the latest refinement of Meco's classic elastomer driven seal design.
While designed using the same patented principle of the Meco EAS, the AH series is designed to eliminate the process of setting seal face pressures.
For the user who must frequently sanitize seals, this means simple, trouble free installation after cleaning.
The Meco static seal provides a positive seal on stationary shafts, permitting maintenance or replacement of EAS and other model seals without emptying the process vessel.
The mechanical drive uses a driving pin and collar configuration in lieu of the standard Meco elastomer to transfer the torque and rotate the seal faces, the collar is set-screwed to the shaft and transfer is accomplished by driving pins which fit around the collar.
Also available in the custom seal's range are the extreme service seal, the custom adjustable caliper seals and the packing replacement. Request a free brochure from FTL Seals Technology ...
