MECO offers its “OFS” (outside face seal), a patented single-face seal design, for use on top-entry vacuum mixers. Unlike packed glands, the OFS can handle both axial shaft motion and 6mm or more of shaft run-out, allowing it to contain a high degree of vacuum as well as process vapors. The OFS functions in high temperature processes, though it uses no purge or flush system. Available fully-split for quick installation and rebuilds, without removal of bearing or drive. Effective vacuum containment reduces process time and saves energy; rebuilds are infrequent compared to packing or lip seals. All MECO seals are custom-engineered to suit individual applications, manufactured by Woodex Bearing Company in Maine, USA.
