Split Shaft Seals for Hostile Services
MECO’s patented EX-PAC model seals are built to withstand some of industry’s least hospitable environments. These include aggressive solvents and other chemicals, temperatures up to 260 degrees C (500F), thermal shaft growth, pressure-vacuum fluctuations, high shaft runout or misalignment and some axial shaft motion.
MECO seals are used on slow-turning process equipment such as reactors, dryers, conveyors, etc. Available with either elastomeric or mechanical drive mechanisms, the EX-PAC shares the capabilities of other MECO seals to provide exceptional service in abrasive applications, while protecting shafts from being damaged.
MECO considers a variety of materials and designs in custom-engineering seals to suit individual applications. Fully-split models can be retrofit without removal of bearing or drive. Seals may be gas- or water-purged, according to process variables; purge consumption is extremely low.
