Georgetown, ME -- MECO custom-engineered shaft seals will be on exhibit at the 17th
International Powder Technology Exhibition (POWTEX)
in Tokyo on 28-31 October, 2008.

The exhibition will take place at the Makuhari Messe and is sponsored by the Association of Powder Process Industry and Engineering (A.P.P.I.E.). Stand number A-100 will feature the newest custom seal designs from MECO, including seals for dust and vapor containment and seals which help processors to conserve energy.

MECO offers fully split seals for quick installation and rebuilding, without wasting time to remove bearings or drives. These patented seals provide a long-lasting alternative to packing glands on dry processing equipment in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, plastics and mineral industries.

MECO is the original high-run-out tolerance seal for screw conveyors, mixers, blenders, vacuum dryers, agitators and similar rotating processing machinery. Capable of accommodating 6 mm and more of diametric shaft run-out, MECO seals protect shafts from abrasion damage and can often improve equipment function.

Sanitary models can be quickly removed for bench sanitizing and reinstalled as often as necessary. MECO seals are fit to precise shaft sizes and use a low-flow purge medium in many applications; seals can continue to function in cases of unanticipated loss of purge pressure.

Representatives from the firms Techno-Support, Ltd. and Technowave, Ltd., Japan's distributors for MECO seals, will be on hand at the show to arrange for complimentary seal consultation calls.
