Shaft Seal Permits Axial Shaft Motion

The OFS Type-1 split seal is ideal for top-entry agitators, crystallizers, dryers, pan mixers, blenders, hoppers, and similar rotating equipment used in the petrochemical, plastics, metals, minerals, and other processing industries. The OFS Type-1 is used with top-entering and horizontal shafts. The seal is often used both to keep process materials inside the vessel and also to keep atmospheric oxygen from entering the vessel. It is used in the production of plastic resins and additives, VOC vapors and fumes, crystal sugar, industrial chemicals, and industrial fermentation processes. Process improvements encompass product and atmosphere containment, product purity, batch time reduction and consistency between batches, extended mean-time-to-repair (MTR), and only two to four hours of installation time once the equipment is prepared. The fully-split assemblies meet chemical compatibility and materials of construction challenges.
