Subject:
Two-Piece Seaming Spindle Seal Sleeve and additional Double Lip Seal for 180S Seamers.
Purpose:
A design change to the Seaming Spindle with additional Double Lip Seal and Seal Sleeve from
a one-piece to a two-piece part for model 180S machines will make shimming the seaming
chucks to the proper height setting significantly easier and eliminate the requirement to remove
and potentially disturb the integrity of the double-lip seal.
Benefit:
•
Eliminates the need to remove the seaming chuck bell when shimming seaming chucks
•
Prevents damage and enhances the life of the double-lip seal, as the seal sleeve top will
remain in place during shim height adjustments
•
Makes shimming of the seaming chucks to proper height setting significantly easier
•
Reduces the set-up time required to shim seaming chucks to the proper height setting
•
The double-lip seal prevents seepage of product and contaminants through the face seal &
rotor
Description:
The two-piece seaming spindle seal sleeve (top & bottom) is now standard replacing a one-
piece seaming spindle seal sleeve. The two-piece design provides seamer maintenance per-
sonnel with several advantages; it is much faster and easier to shim the seaming chucks to the
proper height, it doesn't require removal of the seaming chuck bell or the double-lip seal. The
double-lip seal is designed to prevent product from getting up into the face seal, and by not hav-
ing to remove it during the shimming set-up process can prevent accidental damage that could
affect the integrity of the seaL
