(610) 678-5890 www.readingbakery.com BETTER SEAL TECHNOLOGY Shick Solutions offers improved performance with its upgraded Q3 seals. The seals are designed for abrasive duty airlocks and are available in Shick's 420 and 700 airlock sizes. Throughout 2015, the R&D team tested the seals in the Shick test lab as well as in the field with select customers. A low-friction Teflon sleeve is clamped to the rotor shaft for contact with the Q3 seals in order to seal the interior of the airlock. The low-friction surface reduces wear on the seal rings and prevents material from adhering to its contact surface. This arrangement has shown better performance and three times the operational life cycle than the packing design.
