Meco to show shaft seals at Powtex

Meco shaft seals will be exhibited at the International Powder Technology Exhibition (Powtex) in Osaka, Japan on 21-24 October, 2009.

The exhibition will take place at the Intex-Osaka International Exhibition Center and is sponsored by the Association of Powder Process Industry and Engineering.

The HB model shaft seal, a standard-sized seal for screw-conveyor shafts, will be shown.

HB seals are designed to perform under 90 per cent of the typical operating conditions associated with screw conveyors or scrolls.

This includes food-grade applications, temperatures up to 260C, abrasive products and vertical or inclined conveyors.

The HB accommodates up to 6mm of shaft run out.

Seals for dust and vapour containment and seals which help processors to conserve energy will also be exhibited.

Meco offers fully split seals for quick installation and rebuilding, and provide a long-lasting alternative to packing glands on dry-processing equipment in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, plastics and mineral industries.

Meco is a high-run-out tolerance seal for screw conveyors, mixers, blenders, vacuum dryers, agitators and similar rotating processing machinery.

Meco seals protect shafts from abrasion damage and can improve equipment function.

Sanitary models can be quickly removed for bench sanitising and reinstalled as often as necessary.

Meco seals are fit to precise shaft sizes and use a low-flow purge medium in many applications and can continue to function in cases of unanticipated loss of purge pressure.
