Seals block product migration
Meco's patented shaft seal designs are based on the use of a driving elastomer, which wraps around and grips the shaft, both protecting the shaft from abrasion damage and blocking product migration.

Shaft seals accommodate misalignment
Original Meco shaft seals are custom-engineered to suit individual applications.
No relative movement takes place between the shaft and any of the rotating seal components, so all wear is limited to the seal interfaces between rotors and stators.
As the self-compensating driving elastomer is the seal's only interface with the shaft, Meco seals accommodate significant radial shaft misalignment and shock loads, as well as thermal growth in high-temperature process machinery.
Seals will not fret or undercut the shaft.
Meco shaft seals are custom-engineered to fit conveyors, mixers, dryers and other rotating bulk solids processing equipment.
Meco incorporates 6mm of total run-out capacity into its seal designs, so even bent shafts present no problem. Request a free brochure from Meco Shaft Seals ...
