Georgetown, ME -- MECO will be exhibiting its custom-engineered shaft seals for dry bulk process equipment in booth #520 at the Powder and Bulk Engineering 2009 Southeast Conference and Expo. The Expo runs April 29-30, 2009 at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta.

MECO seals are used on slow-turning bulk processing equipment in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics and minerals processing industries.

MECO engineers specify the optimal, patented seal design and construction materials for each seal according to precise shaft diameter, speed, clearance, process chemistry, temperature, pressure, etc. A wide range of shaft diameters can be retrofitted.

Seals use different gas barrier fluids, at very low flow rates (often 7 +/-7 litres per hour). MECO seals solve problems caused by shaft run-out or misalignment by accommodating 6 mm diametric run-out or more in the design of its seals.

MECO seals are available fully-split so that installation and rebuilding are quick and easy. FDA or ATEX requirements can be met. In sanitary applications, seals can be removed for daily cleaning.

MECO seals are ideal for applications requiring vacuum containment, often increasing machine efficiency dramatically. Custom engineering and attention to detail make MECO seals more successful than conventional types of seals or packings.
