A Meco Shaft Seals product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 1, 2003

Meco EAS seals are custom-engineered to retrofit pulpers, stock chest agitators and repulper and chip screws without equipment modification.

Meco EAS seals are custom-engineered to retrofit pulpers, stock chest agitators, and repulper and chip screws without equipment modification.

The seals are manufactured fully split, permitting installation and rebuilding without removal of the existing stuffing box, bearing or drive.

Meco seals are often successful where mechanical packings and traditional mechanical seals fail, because they accommodate severe shaft runout, shock loads and tub deflection.

The seals' corotating elastomer protects the shaft from abrasion damage.

Meco seals are water-purged at zero pressure; they require less water than packed glands and will not dilute stock.

The seal face pressures can be field-calibrated with no disassembly.

Maintenance consists of occasional adjustments and quick rebuilds.

One mill recently rebuilt its EAS pulper seal after nine years of flawless service.

The seal's split design made it a half-day project.

The rugged components of the Meco EAS seal can be freely handled and even dropped without damage.
