MECO Products
Client-tailored, industry-specific seal solutions
With nearly four decades of experience designing and manufacturing custom shaft seals, the MECO team has faced and overcome a long list of complex, industry-specific sealing challenges for a wide range of manufacturing customers. As our capabilities have grown—with seals that tolerate ¼” and more of diametric runout—our customer base has expanded into new industries.
Today, MECO seals are trusted by food, plastics, chemical, battery filler, pulp & paper, and building materials manufacturers worldwide, where we effectively eliminate common issues experienced with other mechanical seals, mechanical packing, and lip seals.
As our customers can attest, MECO seals produce measurably positive impacts on maintenance costs, machine availability, product quality and energy consumption.
The MECO HB seal model is a double-face, air-purged shaft seal for screw conveyors and bucket elevators.
The MECO HC seal model is a double-face, air-free shaft seal for screw conveyors and bucket elevators.
ATEX is a series of explosion prevention standards, codified in 2014/34/EU.
The MECO-MB seal model is an elastomer driven, contacting face seal designed to fit inside of an existing stuffing box on rotary valves and airlocks.
Digital and analog gas control panels specifically designed for MECO seals.
A precision Wera adjustable torque screwdriver kit offers accurate and repeatable adjustment of MECO’s clamp-adjusted seal designs.
The MECO OFS Type-1 seal is a fully-split, single-face seal for top-entry agitators and horizontal shafts processing both dry and liquid materials at temperatures to 450 degrees F and low pressures to partial vacuums.
The OFS Type-2 model is designed for food process equipment that requires rapid cleaning and drying between batches. The fully-split OFS Type-2 is ideal for ribbon and paddle blenders mixing dry powders at low to moderate speeds and temperatures.
The SEA-GARD provides an effective rudder post seal in abrasive, coastal waters.
The MECO AH Type-2 model is a compact and versatile gas-purged, double-face seal.
The MECO EA Type-1 is a fully-split, water-flushed seal for containing wet slurries. Designed for paper pulp, it’s equally effective in cement, grout, stucco and other abrasive slurries.
The MECO EA Type-2 model is used in many sealing applications for low to moderate shaft speeds on small to very large shaft diameters. Simple to adjust, this gas-purged seal offers effective containment of solvent vapors at low pressures.
The MECO EP Type-1 seal is a water-flushed, double-face seal for wet slurries. Designed for vertical shaft paper pulpers, it also excels on horizontal shaft pulpers and agitators.
The MECO EP Type-2 is a gas-purged, double-face seal for many sealing applications with low to medium shaft speeds, on small to large shaft diameters.
The MECO EP Type 3 split seal is a gas-purged, double-face seal for horizontal dryers and reactors in vacuum service. Designed for aggressive chemical environments, it can maintain deep vacuums while tolerating eccentric shaft rotation and thermal growth and shrinkage.
Custom Seal Solutions
Because MECO seals are customized for each customer’s unique industry, application, and equipment, our solutions offer unparalleled performance—effectively preventing the escape of dry powders, bulk materials, pastes, slurries, liquids, and vapors. We also produce sanitary seals for food and pharmaceutical applications.
Most MECO seals feature fully split designs that allow for easy installation, maintenance, and rebuilding without the added time and expense of drive removal. Whether split or unsplit, our seals are designed to address each application’s unique configuration, taking into consideration:
In every application, our seals are designed to operate on a plane perpendicular to the shaft without relative motion between the shaft and seal—eliminating the abrasion and high operating temperatures that are associated with common mechanical packing alternatives.
These four categories, in conjunction with spatial and operational parameters, are used to form our seal models AH, EA, EP, HB, MB, SC and OFS. These six basic models branch out into many seal types to meet customer's specific needs.
