MECO Custom Shaft Seals:      AH & AP Series

AH Series Seals - The MECO AH series seals represent the latest refinement of MECO’s classic elastomer-driven seal design. The AH series is designed to eliminate the process of setting seal face pressures. For the user who must frequently sanitize seals, this means simple, trouble-free installation after cleaning. AH seals are custom-designed to fit in unusual space restrictions on a wide variety of machinery types.

• For use in low to moderate abrasive powder processes, on ribbon blenders, paddle mixers, reactors, screw conveyors, bucket elevators, and similar blending or conveying machinery.
• Also used as replacements for lip seals to isolate lube oil in bearings.
• These designs can be used in many cases where installation clearances are too tight to permit the use of other MECO seal types.
• The AH seal uses heavy stainless plate stators to ensure flatness and long life, despite extensive handling.
• The seal incorporates both a basic adjustment mechanism and monitoring provisions to allow operators to perform preventive maintenance before product leakage occurs.
• AHU unsplit and AHS split seals are particularly well-suited to food and pharmaceutical applications. They are ideal for mixers processing dry beverage, spice, and flavoring mixes, where frequent product changes and washdowns are required.
• The seals are fitted with flush water inlet and drain ports, as well as compressed air purge connection ports.

AP Series Seals - The AP series seals provide the same predictable performance and ease of adjustment as the AH series, but in a smaller package.

• For installation in even tighter environments than the AH series would allow.
• The AP series is built into existing lip seal housings and can be highly customized to fit your machinery, such as the multi-shaft compactor above.
