MECO custom shaft seals offer complete containment of dry powders and bulk solids, on dryers and other rotating equipment, where traditional packings fail to seal. Seals are available fully-split to simplify and speed installation and maintenance without disturbing the bearing or drive assembly.

***MECO SEALS CAN REDUCE VACUUM DRYER CYCLE TIME BY UP TO 50% BY EFFECTIVELY HOLDING THE VACUUM.***

All MECO seals are custom-designed and manufactured to each application. MECO incorporates up to 6mm of total runout/misalignment capacity into its seal designs. Seals will also accommodate significant radial shock loads. The seal face pressures are fully-adjustable with no disassembly. In dryer applications, MECO's patented Mechanical Drive system is frequently used to accommodate the significant thermal shaft growth and pressure-vacuum cycles common in this equipment.

Unlike traditional mechanical seals, MECO seal faces are soft, fault-tolerant and almost impossible to break.

MECO custom shaft seals are available factory-installed on better machinery and from Woodex Bearing Company, Inc.
