Custom Shaft Seals for Food Process Machinery
MECO Shaft Seals offer clean and cost-effective sealing
solutions for a variety of food processes.
Originally developed for sealing dry powders in screw
conveyors, MECO seals have evolved to fill sealing needs for
a wide variety of food process machinery.
MECO seals handle dry powders, pastes, slurries and liquids in
most food process industries:
DRY POWDERS:
- SALT
- SUGAR
- FLOUR/BAKERY PRE-MIXES
- DRY BEVERAGES
- SPICE MIXES
- DRY FLAVOUR CONCENTRATES
PASTES & SLURRIES:
- DOUGHS
- LIQUID CHOCOLATE
- CHEESE, BUTTER & DAIRY MIXES
- JAMS & CANDY FILLINGS
- SALAD DRESSINGS
- MEATS & PET FOODS
LIQUIDS:
- SOUPS
- BROTHS
- BEVERAGES
- LIQUID FLAVOR CONCENTRATES
- SOLVENTS & VAPOURS IN VEGETABLE OIL EXTRACTION SYSTEMS
FDA-approved materials are used, and some models can be
configured for explosive atmospheres and certified, if
needed, for European ATEX service.
MECO seals permit 6mm diametric shaft eccentricity
(runout), ensuring product containment in mixing equipment.
The seals eliminate packing and associated abrasion,
product leakage, and product contamination.
MECO seals’ low purge air consumption keeps loss in weight
systems accurate and can increase process efficiency by
improving vacuum containment.
Designed for quick and easy cleaning and sanitizing, MECO
seals help maintain product purity. Seals and rebuild
components are available fully-split, for bench sanitizing or
rapid repair on-site. Seals can be flushed in place or
equipped with third-party automated CIP systems.
Retrofit split seals can usually be fitted with little modifications
required to existing machinery.
