Meco Shaft Seals product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team

Meco seals offer complete containment of dry powders, pastes, slurries, corrosives, fluids, solvents, vapours and gases, where traditional packings fail to seal.
Meco seals offer complete containment of dry powders, pastes, slurries, corrosives, fluids, solvents, vapours and gases, where traditional packings fail to seal.
Available fully split and in FDA materials, Meco seals are custom-designed and manufactured to each application, and can retrofit blenders and most other rotating bulk process equipment, without the removal of bearings or drives.
The patented Meco seal concept is based on the use of a driving elastomer; there are no fixed-load springs to loosen, corrode or break.
As the self-compensating driving elastomer is the only interface with the shaft, the seals accommodate significant radial and angular shaft misalignment and shock loads, as well as thermal growth in high-temperature processes.
Meco incorporates a minimum of 6mm of total runout/misalignment capacity into its seal designs.
Sanitary designs are available which can be easily disassembled for routine cleaning: ideal for abrasive powder processes in food and pharmaceutical industries, where frequent product changes and washdowns are required.
Seals can also be fitted with flush water inlet and drain ports for in-place cleanouts.
