Bulk handling equipment can pose a real challenge when it comes to sealing against leaks. Screw conveyors and mixing tanks run for long periods, and when the material being conveyed or mixed is abrasive these machines can take a beating.
Reliability engineers and maintenance managers are learning the difference rotary shaft seals can make in leak prevention, efficiency, and safety. CinchSeal has a proven track record of preventing leaks, minimizing downtime, and upholding product quality across sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceutical manufacturing, ethanol production, and pulp and paper.
Why choose CinchSeal?
Longevity
Designed to endure even the harshest production environments, advanced rotary shaft seals by CinchSeal outlast traditional seals. Unlike lip seals and mechanical packing that can wear down rotating shafts over time, CinchSeal’s innovative design features an elastomer that spins with the shaft, prolonging seal life and eliminating the risk of shaft damage. Additionally, polished stainless steel-plated and PTFE rotor cups minimize wear and reduce the chance of contamination and leakage.
Minimal Maintenance
Low maintenance requirements let manufacturers “set and forget” CinchSeal rotary shaft seals without fear of unscheduled repairs. Features that facilitate easy seal upkeep include:
- Split internal parts allow for easy repairs without removing the entire assembly
- Inherent self-lubrication for uninterrupted operation
- Boot-mounted rotor cups accommodate shaft misalignment
- Air purging for reduced heat from friction, prolonging seal life and minimizing the need for repairs
Leak-free Performance
CinchSeal sets the standard for leak prevention, helping ensure safer workplaces and preserving product integrity. Using silicon elastomer molded slightly smaller than the shaft, rotary shaft seals by CinchSeal form an interference fit that stops material from leaking out. Compressed rotor cups seal potential leak paths, while air or nitrogen purging closes the sliding interface, preventing material ingress or egress. With leak prevention designed into every aspect of the seal, CinchSeal offers unparalleled reliability and peace of mind.
Summing Up
Durability, minimal maintenance needs, and advanced leak prevention make rotary shaft seals a natural choice for managers looking to save on operating costs and keep their equipment running smoothly. For over 25 years, CinchSeal has been a leader in rotary shaft seal innovation, providing reliable solutions worldwide.
