The con guration is a double mechanical seal using an elastomer drive to rotate bearing-grade synthetic seal faces against xed, stainless steel seal faces. The AH Type-2 uses a barrier uid to pneumatically load the seal faces and isolate the process from the atmosphere.The seal cavity is typically charged with compressed gas, which acts as a barrier uid to provide pneumatic seal face loading. The two stator housings are typically separated by a stack of 1/64" (0.40mm) thick shims to provide a method of adjustment. MECO Seal PBE The seal model is used on horizontal, inclined and vertical shafts. The AH Type-2 is applicable when an inert barrier uid is required to isolate the process from the atmosphere. They are used on blenders, bucket elevators, some polymer extruders, and both ends of a screw conveyor. Two unique con gurations following the core principles are available. The MECO AH Type-2 seal model is custom-designed and built to order. Typically, assemblies are fully- split. Shaft diameters range from ¾" (18mm) to 20" (500mm) and all sizes in between. Our typical space requirement is 2.5" (65mm) around the shaft and 4" (100mm) along the shaft for an easy split seal installation. Much smaller values are possible. Since MECO Seal manufactures many custom shaft seal models, we have the capacity to fabricate from any material required. The AH Type-2 is suited for MRO and OEM equipment. And we can help train your maintenance staff on seal MRO. November 2018 / 33
