HH Type-2
Simply Effective Sealing
The MECO HH Type-2 is a fully custom, air-purged
mechanical shaft seal. It can be quickly adjusted without
disassembling the seal assembly by tightening the HH
Type-2’s simple adjusting clamp. Unlike standard stuffing
box seals, the HH Type-2 is non-abrasive to the machine’s
shaft and can accommodate shaft runout. The HH Type-2
is available fully split for efficient installation and
maintenance.
How It Works
At the heart of the HH Type-2, two rotating polymer seal
faces (rotors) slide against staionary, stainless-steel seal
faces (stators) to form a dynamic seal. The polymer rotors
are frictionally locked into rotation with the machine’s shaft
by an elastomer drive ring. The HH Type-2’s stainless steel
adjusting clamp squeezes the elastomer ring against the
shaft, causing it to lengthen axially against the rotating seal
faces to provide effective and adjustable seal face loading.
The HH Type-2’s sliding seal faces are also pneumatically
loaded by a compressed gas – typically air or inert gas –
which also acts to clear the rotating seal faces of product
and debris. In addition, the purge gas helps to isolate the
process from the atmosphere.
