SeccoLipR: Effective protection against particle ingress.

08-2025

In demanding processes in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, particles entering the shaft seal can result in increased wear and unplanned downtime. EagleBurgmann's new SeccoLipR seal component sets a new standard in this regard. Part of the well-established SeccoLip seal series, it features a metal shield designed to reliably protect the PTFE sealing lips behind it from abrasion and ascending leakage. The result is a significantly longer service life for the seal, even with direct product contact.

The patented lip seal is optimized for applications involving product contact.

During op­er­a­tion, seals on shafts in machines and systems are con­stantly exposed to forces of varying strength and di­rec­tion. Many lip seals struggle in this sit­u­a­tion, which can result in in­creased wear, con­t­a­m­i­na­tion that reduces quality due to leaks, or even complete seal failure. SeccoLip, a proven and patented lip seal, ad­dresses many of these chal­lenges by com­bin­ing the op­er­at­ing prin­ci­ple of shaft sealing lips with the re­li­a­bil­ity and safety of a me­chan­i­cal seal. The patented com­bi­na­tion of a PTFE sealing lip and sliding part can directly and safely com­pen­sate for shaft de­flec­tions thanks to a special com­pen­sa­tion function.

The new Sec­coL­ipR seal com­po­nent enhances this concept by in­cor­po­rat­ing a metal shield that protects the lip seals behind it from abrasive sub­stances, pre­vent­ing damage and leaks. It also features a second PTFE lip that seals against the at­mos­phere, making it suitable for use in a vacuum. Compared to other so­lu­tions on the market, this second PTFE element offers an improved throt­tling function. Further ad­van­tages include the ability to combine the Sec­coL­ipR com­po­nent with other agitator seals and the option of using it as a sin­gle-seal solution.

The ad­van­tages of this seal for ag­i­ta­tors, mixers, kneaders, dryers, reactors and screw con­vey­ors with top or side drives are clear. Op­er­a­tors benefit from the fol­low­ing, among other things:

  • The modular design allows for variable arrangement of the sealing lips.
  • In addition to six standard sizes (40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm), custom sizes are also available upon request.
  • Its dead space-minimized design makes it fully CIP/SIP compatible.
  • The cartridge design simplifies assembly, and installation and maintenance are straightforward as the seal does not contain any sensitive parts, such as springs, drivers, slide rings or counter rings.
  • Extensive approvals (ATEX Zone 1 – type examination for ATEX Zone 0 planned for 2026; TA Luft-compliant (German Clean Air Act); FDA- and EC 1935/2004-certified) enable a wide range of applications.

 

The SeccoLip lip seal product range has proven its worth in numerous ap­pli­ca­tions. The new Sec­coL­ipR com­po­nent is a powerful upgrade for par­tic­u­larly de­mand­ing op­er­at­ing con­di­tions. (Image: EagleBurgmann Germany GmbH & Co. KG)
