 Woodex Bearing Company Inc./MECO Shaft Seals
Company Profile
WOODEX Bearing Company manufactures Woodex® oil-impregnated wood bearings, and MECO® custom-engineered shaft seals in Georgetown, Maine.
Woodex bearings are used in a variety of materials handling equipment, including screw conveyors and roll conveyors. Products include three lines of standard hanger bearings, several roll end bearing profiles, and spherical bearings. Custom wood plane bearings are manufactured for a wide variety of shaft sizes and applications.
MECO shaft seals are used to seal dry powders, pastes, slurries, vapors, gases and fluids in many types of process machinery in these industries:
- Chemicals
- Food
- Minerals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Plastics
- Primary Metals
- Pulp & Paper
MECO split seals are famous for their “invisible” partlines. MECO engineers review each seal application individually and specify design and materials for optimum performance. The seals are then drawn to spec and custom-manufactured. MECO is the original high-runout shaft seal for dry powder process machinery, and remains the leader in the field.
A network of custom seal distributors and qualified resellers provide support services, from equipment measurement to seal installation and operator training. MECO’s engineering staff does telephone and email consultation, and can provide on-site technical support where needed to ensure customer satisfaction.
MECO seals are manufactured for screw conveyors, mixers, blenders, dryers, crushers and grinders, extruders, extractors and many other process machines.

Product Details
 | Since 1906, Woodex has produced a bearing material from rock maple, impregnated with petrolatum wax. This highly-durable material is used extensively in wet and dry screw and roll conveying machinery, frequently in agricultural service. |
 | The MECO AH-series seals represent the latest refinement of MECO’s classic elastomer-driven seal design. While using the same, patented principle of the MECO EAS, the AH series is designed to eliminate the process of setting seal face pressures. |
 | MECO EA-series seals are available for a variety of applications. |
 | MECO Ex-PAC seals combine the best features of MECO’s patented EAS and MECO-PAC seals into a superior product, which excels in some of the least hospitable process environments. |
 | If you suffer from painful shaft sealing problems like axial shaft motion, thermal growth, repetitive pressure-vacuum cycles, and harsh chemical environments, it’s time to call the MECO-DR. |
 | The MECOPAC is an elastomer-driven, MECO seal designed to replace packing in stuffing boxes. It is used primarily in airlocks and rotary valves, where no installation clearance exists for an externally-mounted seal. |
 | MECO 's OFS-series seals provide effective sealing of solids, liquids, vapors and gases in a variety of applications. |
 | MECO® shaft seals have revolutionized screw conveyor sealing. Screw conveyors exhibit almost universal leakage problems, due to the shaft runout and whip caused by their long, unsupported spans of flighting. |
