New MARTIN® Double APRON SEALTM Skirting
combines effective dual seal with double wear life
(Neponset, IL)-An improved version of Martin Engineering’s industry-leading APRON SEALTM Skirtboard Sealing system now provides double the wear life.
New MARTIN® Double APRON SEALTM Skirting provides two wear surfaces on a single elastomer sealing strip installed along the bottom of the skirtboard in a belt conveyor loading zone. When bottom side of the strip against the belt is worn, the sealing strip is inverted, providing a second service life.
Skirtboard sealing systems are installed on the sides of belt conveyor loading zones to contain material, eliminate spillage, and reduce cleanup expenses. MARTIN® APRON SEALTM Skirting was the first dual-sealing system, as it incorporates a primary seal clamped to the steel skirtboard to keep lumps on the belt and a secondary or “outrigger” strip to capture any fines or dust that passes beneath the primary seal. The secondary seal lies gently on the belt and self-adjusts to maintain consistent strip-to-belt pressure despite high-speed material movement and fluctuations in the belt’s line of travel.
New Double APRON SEALTM Skirting is available in lengths up to 300 feet (91 meters) to provide a continuous seal without seams that leak fugitive material. MARTIN® Double APRON SEALTM Strips can be installed–using the existing clamps-as a replacement for previous APRON SEALTM Skirting Systems or many other skirtboard sealing systems.
New Double APRON SEALTM is one of the first products to be introduced as part of Martin Engineering’s New Architecture for Modern Conveying.
