New Seal Contains Sugar in a Rotary Air Lock

In a candy factory making peanut butter, rotary air locks are used as feeders to move dextrose from sugar silos to mixers making the peanut butter. The existing lip seals leaked after a few weeks of operation. The sugar in the rotary air lock leaked. Sugar was EVERYWHERE!

A new air seal replaced the lip seals in a pilot application. The pilot air seals (two per air lock) have operated more than 12 months leak-free. The facility plans to replace all the seals on their air locks (100 at this facility).

SEPCO is back from the International Boat Show in New Orleans. We visited with some old friends and made some new ones. Steve Hall and Chuck Tanner gave group and individual demos. Thanks, Chuck, Steve, David Brewer and Zach Nepa for making the show a tremendous success.

We're back! For the first time in two years, the SEPCO family had the chance to share a meal together. It's been a long time coming, but we're as thankful as ever. Happy Thanksgiving from the SEPCO team.
