FEATURES |
 |
Easy installation and replacement. |
|
Meets environmental compliance requirements. |
|
Kiln seal shoes made self-lubricating due to presence of graphite granules. |
|
Shoes prevent leaves from rubbing against the kiln shell, eliminating the probability of grooving. |
|
Can be customized for any application or configuration. |
|
Shoes lock overlapping plates together, keeping out air along the entire overlap zone. |
|
Can be retrofitted to any rotary calciner, cooler, dryer or kiln, regardless of original equipment manufacturer (OEM). |
|
Metal wear bands can be installed onto the shell's riding surface to minimize degeneration of "wear shoes." |
|
Available in various alloy combinations, based upon application and operating conditions. |
|
Heat-resistant springs withstand higher temperatures and axial movements with maximum effectiveness. |
|
Made of heat-resistant materials that contain NO asbestos or refractory fibers. |
|
Available 45° to the shell axis, which provides a more neutral or "relaxed" position that accommodates a greater amount of radial movement or "run-out" during operation. |
|
Adjusts automatically to most shell runouts. |
|
Overlapping plates made of stainless steel spring stock. |
|
Sealing edge of each plate
fitted with a sintered metal shoe (similar to brake shoes on DC-10 aircraft). |
| |
FLEX-STEEL MODULE |
| |
Lubrication |
Initially, the shoes are to be coated with a high-temperature lubricant furnished with the seal. After break-in, molybdenum disulfide lubricants may be used to extend the life of the shoes. |
|
Special Considerations |
Please advise if the application includes: |
|
Corrosive gases or liquids |
|
Explosive vapors |
|
Positive hood pressures |
