During operation, shaft seals in machines and plants are continuously subjected to forces of varying strength and direction. Typical lip seals have difficulty coping with these conditions. Increased wear, leakage that can reduce quality, and costly seal replacement are all avoidable.
The SeccoLip lip seal is an entirely new design that combines the functionality of a shaft sealing lip with the reliability and safety of a mechanical seal.
The patented combination of the PTFE sealing lip and the sliding part can compensate for any shaft deflection directly and reliably thanks to a special compensation function.
The patented compensation function reliably and immediately compensates for all radial and axial shaft deflections.
Thanks to its modular design, the SeccoLip series is the ideal sealing solution for a wide range of applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries. It can handle overpressure and vacuum processes, and it is compatible both with stainless steel (SeccoLip481) and glass-lined vessels (SeccoLip461). The SeccoLip can also be operated with two, three, or four lips. The seal lip arrangement is variable and can be customized for a perfect fit.
The SeccoLip does not require the usual compensating elements such as O-rings, expansion discs, or metal bellows. Although they are not necessary, roller bearings and a temperature sensor are available as optional extras. The same applies to the glass-lined flange, as the SeccoLip461 seal can easily adapt to existing glass-lined machine flanges. These features make the SeccoLip a cost-effective, low-maintenance sealing solution.
The pre-assembled, tested, closed design ensures reliable sealing and easy installation. Since the SeccoLip does not contain sensitive parts, such as springs, drivers, sliding rings, or counter rings, its sealing lips can be quickly and easily replaced on site.
The seal can be relied upon in Zone 0 explosion protection areas without a temperature sensor. The EC type examination for the new SeccoLipR component in ATEX Zone 0 is planned for 2026.
The sealing lips are made of PTFE material that satisfies the FDA's strict regulations. Thanks to its minimized dead space design, the SeccoLip is hygienic and safe to operate. Its EC 1935/2004 certification ensures it is safe for use in the food industry.
The SeccoLip is low-emission and therefore perfectly environmentally safe.
If you're looking for a reliable way to prevent abrasive or crystalline media from entering, look no further. The SeccoLipR, the latest addition to our SeccoLip seal series, is an innovative sealing component that is installed on the product side. Thanks to its specially developed metal shield, it reliably protects the PTFE sealing lips from abrasion and increasing leakage, even in direct contact with the product. An additional PTFE sealing element provides improved throttling functionality compared to other solutions on the market.
The SeccoLipR component is designed specifically for use with the SeccoLip481L. However, it can also be used with other seals or as a standalone solution.
The SeccoLip lip seal series is compatible with many processes involving agitators, mixers, kneaders, dryers, reactors, and screw conveyors. We are happy to provide more information.
