The Top Industrial Uses for CinchSeal Rotary Shaft Seals

The Wrights Dowson Group is one of the most reputable suppliers for bulk handling equipment and components in the UK. We are committed to high-quality and long-lasting products, which is why we choose Cinchseal rotary shaft seals with our diverse offering of screw conveyors.

A rotary shaft seal keeps the product contained in the screw conveyor. It rotates with the shaft whilst providing an air-tight seal. This is vital in any industry that requires keeping the product away from contamination. On the flip side, it also protects staff from toxic fumes or dust leaking into the air.




For Which Industries Are Rotary Shaft Seals Important?

Rotary shaft seals find application in a wide range of industries:

  • In the meat and poultry industry, cinchseals replace leaking lip seals. They’re a match for mixers and screw conveyors found in meat and poultry processing.
  • Dairy processing requires FDA approved materials and components. Cinchseal is crafted from food-grade stainless steel to meet the requirements of a heavily regulated industry.
  • CinchSeals works with screw conveyors, silo augers, bucket elevators, mixers, and blenders in feed and grain manufacturing. These are vital to wheat and flour milling, corn processing and the manufacture of pet food and animal feed. 
  • Cinchseal is also used by all significant cement and gypsum companies in the US. They can be installed and left alone without further maintenance thanks to their design, perfect for an industry solution in a challenging environment. 
  • In pulp and paper manufacturing, rotating shaft seals are used on side-entry agitators, wood fibre screws, pulpers, chip washers, rotary airlocks, and to wash press augers.
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing heavily relies on air-tight seals. This is another heavily regulated industry in which contamination must be avoided at all costs. 
  • In the baking industry, premature bearing and seal leakages lead to downtime and lost production. CinchSeal’s stainless steel construction and split design can heavily reduce maintenance problems. 
  • Corn milling in ethanol production suffers great losses in revenue when product leaks from mechanical packing seals. CinchSeals stops all product leakage and protects gearboxes and the rotating shaft, where mechanical packing often causes damages.

At the Wrights Dowson Group, CinchSeal is the best solution to rotating shaft sealing challenges. Its innovative design proves effective across various industries. It solves problems that were common to both lip seals and mechanical packing.

The Three Types of Bin Dischargers

Image
The Wrights Dowson Group is a reputed manufacturer of conveyance and bulk handling equipment in the UK. Additionally, to screw conveyors, we provide a wide range of accessories and tools to streamline the handling processes of various industries, including animal grain, waste, recycling, food and more. Bin Dischargers play an essential role, especially in powder and grain applications. They prevent common problems with flow that might cause the product to get stuck in a silo or discharge unevenly, leading to product loss and contamination. This article will introduce the three types of bin discharge systems for bulk products. Vibration Vibrating bin dischargers send vibrations through a bulk product like chemicals or pellets contained in a bin or hopper. In addition, shaking the structure of the container creates better flow by unclogging particles that may have stuck together or clung to the sides of the bin.  An example of this model is a bin activator. The vibrator in this disc...

Rotary Shaft Seal: Frequently Asked Questions

Image
A rotary shaft seal is a product designed to protect the area around rotating machinery shafts such as conveyors and bulk handling equipment. They are sometimes called oil or dirt seals because they protect the bearings of rotating shafts from water, dirt, oil and other harmful particles.  This article will cover some common questions surrounding rotary shaft seals . What is the difference between rotary shaft seals and lips seals? Before rotary shaft seals, a lip seal would be used to squeeze around rotary shafts. They were commonly made of elastomers, sometimes partly encased in metal. But they were often prone to fracturing and could only cover small surfaces. On the other hand, a rotary shaft seal is a split seal machined from stainless steel. The split seal allows the component to quickly fit and dismount from shafts as required. This means the seal can be regularly cleaned without having to replace it entirely. Moreover, the material gives the seal longevity and is eas...

The Disadvantages of Traditional Lip Seals

Image
Many modern industries rely on keeping contaminants out of the product and ensuring that the product, in turn, does not spill out. Caution in this regard provides a safe work environment and makes sure no product is wasted or ruined. This is where Shaft Seals come in. They are seals fixed to the rotating shafts of bulk handling equipment like screw conveyors or machines like mixers and blenders.  Shaft Seals have to operate with a constantly moving centre and avoid wear and tear. Most importantly, however, they are responsible for keeping products sealed tightly. Traditionally, lip seals were one of the most popular shaft seal types. This article will look into what a lip seal is and how it has become outdated. What’s a Lip Seal? A rotary lip seal keeps a thin lubricant layer between the “lip” and the rotating shaft. During the hydrodynamic action created by the turning motion, the seal is pumped towards the shaft and held in place. Lip seals are very affordable, making rep...
