Innovative sealing technology for the most challenging applications – Easy Gasket
With its “Easy Gasket” sealing system, Siegmund Henning Anlagentechnik GmbH (SHA) is setting new standards in conveyor technology. As a subsidiary of the ZUTHER Group, SHA combines decades of experience in screw conveyors, bulk material handling and industrial sealing systems with innovative sealing technology – developed for maximum operational reliability, minimal maintenance and maximum efficiency.
This innovative sealing solution is used wherever bulk materials need to be conveyed reliably, cleanly and safely – for example, with abrasive bulk materials, in the food industry, the chemical industry or in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
How Easy Gasket works – the innovative sealing system for screw conveyors
At the heart of Easy Gasket is the intelligent static-dynamic double-contact-surface seal. It ensures that the conveyed material is securely retained within the system, whilst simultaneously preventing the ingress of dust, moisture, liquids or foreign matter.
In addition, the seal cartridge is pressurised with compressed air. This allows the shaft journal to re-centre itself automatically at any time, ensuring consistently smooth and safe operation. At the same time, the system operates with virtually no measurable pressure loss, delivering impressive energy efficiency.
The special design minimises frictional resistance. This results in significantly less heat build-up and wear – even under demanding operating conditions. The materials used are high-quality, durable and FDA-certified, making the seal ideal for hygiene-sensitive applications.
Maximum operational reliability for conveyor systems
This reliable seal provides long-term protection for conveyor systems against material loss and the ingress of external contaminants. At the same time, Easy Gasket provides a reliable seal against dust and liquids, ensuring maximum process reliability even under demanding conditions.
Long service life and easy replacement of the seal
Easy Gasket impresses with its particularly long service life. Should the internal rubber element nevertheless wear out, it can be replaced quickly and easily. The worn element is simply pulled off the shaft journal and replaced with a new one – without any time-consuming reworking or replacement of other components. This quickly restores the seal to its original condition.
Protection of the shaft journal and reduced wear grooves
The special rubber element prevents the typical wear grooves on the shaft journal, which frequently lead to material leakage. As a result, the journal remains in a virtually new condition over the long term, which significantly increases the service life of the entire conveying system.
Low maintenance requirements in bulk material handling
Thanks to its robust and well-designed construction, Easy Gasket operates with virtually no maintenance. The simple replacement of individual components reduces downtime to a minimum and ensures high system availability in daily operation.
Low operating costs and contamination-free operation
The sealing system requires no grease or other additional consumables. This ensures that the conveyed material remains clean and free from contamination – a key advantage, particularly for the food and chemical industries. Apart from compressed air, there are virtually no additional operating costs, whilst maintenance and repair costs are significantly reduced.
Ideal for ATEX applications and demanding industrial environments
The low heat generation offers a decisive advantage in potentially explosive atmospheres. This makes Easy Gasket ideally suited for ATEX applications as well as for industrial conveying technology with high safety requirements.
With Easy Gasket, Siegmund Henning Anlagentechnik GmbH (SHA) impressively demonstrates how practical innovation and long-standing engineering expertise within the ZUTHER Group lead to sustainable solutions for modern conveying technology and screw conveyors.
