MECO's original "EAS" externally-adjustable seals offer complete containment of dry, abrasive powders, pastes, slurries, corrosives and fluids on a wide variety of rotating equipment, where traditional packings fail to seal The patented MECO concept is based on the use of a driving elastomer; there are no internal springs to loosen, corrode or break

Wrap-around elastomer protects rotating shafts
Custom-engineered for conveyors, mixers, dryers and other rotating bulk solids processing equipment, seals use a driving elastomer to protect a rotating shaft from abrasion damage.
The seal face pressures are fully-adjustable with no disassembly.
Since the self-compensating driving elastomer is the seal's only interface with the shaft, the EAS seal will accommodate significant radial and angular shaft misalignment and shock loads, as well as thermal growth in high-temperature process machinery.
The EAS is custom-designed and manufactured to each application, and can retrofit most process equipment such as blenders, screw conveyors, bucket elevators, dryers, mills, agitators, extruders, etc.
MECO incorporates 1/4" of total runout/misalignment capacity into EAS seal designs.
Where needed, more runout capacity can be provided; even bent shafts can be accommodated without expensive reshafting.
Unlike traditional mechanical seals, MECO seal faces are soft, fault-tolerant and almost impossible to break. Request a free brochure from Meco Shaft Seals ...
