Meco Shaft Seals from FTL Technology 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 variety of food-processing machinery. Meco seals handle dry powders, pastes, slurries and liquids in most food-processing industries.
FDA-approved materials are used and some models can be configured for explosive atmospheres and certified, if needed, for 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. The 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 sanitising, Meco seals help maintain product purity. Seals and rebuild components are available fully-split for bench sanitising 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 to existing machinery, with few modifications required.
