    FEECO Seal Options

    The document discusses three types of seals used in dryers and kilns: labyrinth seals, leaf seals, and bellows seals. Labyrinth seals provide a tortuous air path but have high leakage. Single leaf seals minimize air leakage more than labyrinth seals. Double leaf seals, which contain a ceramic blanket between two leaf layers, further reduce leakage compared to single leaf seals. Bellows seals, using materials like graphite, act as face seals against rotating surfaces and accommodate expansion, making them suitable for high temperature applications with very low leakage.

    SEAL

    OPTIONS

    LABYRINTH SEAL
    Relative Leakage >>1.0

    The labyrinth seal is a cost-effective option when air leakage into


    the system is not a major concern.

    This seal provides a torturous path for the ambient air by means of
    relatively close clearance between the rotating seal ring and the
    non-rotating housing. Sealing can be improved with the addition
    of a flexible wrap between the seal plate and rotating shell.

    SINGLE AND DOUBLE LEAF SEAL(S)


    Single Leaf Relative Leakage = 1.0
    Double Leaf Relative Leakage = 0.25

    The single leaf seal (shown) is the seal of choice to minimize the
    leakage of air into the dryer or kiln. Limiting leakage reduces fuel
    consumption and can result in a capacity increase. The seal con-
    sists of a series of overlapping spring steel plates that are mounted
    to the housing and ride on a wear ring on the rotating shell.

    The double leaf seal is used when less leakage can be tolerated
    than with the single leaf seal. The double leaf consists of two leaf
    Shown: Single Leaf Seal
    seals with a ceramic fiber blanket sandwiched between the two
    layers of leaves.

    BELLOWS SEAL
    Relative Leakage <<1.0

    The bellows seal utilizes a wear material, such as graphite, to act


    as a face seal when compressed against a flat, rotating surface.
    The corrugated bellows accommodates significant longitudinal
    expansion—especially useful for higher temperature drums such as
    indirect kilns. The bellows is guided and supported by cam rollers.
