Barrier Seals

What is Barrier Seals

 

Barrier seals are a type of security seal used to protect vehicles, containers, or packages from unauthorized access, tampering, or pilferage. These seals are made of materials such as metal or plastic and designed to prevent breaking, cutting, or opening without leaving visible evidence of tampering. The primary function of barrier seals is to provide an additional layer of security to prevent theft or the introduction of harmful or illegal substances during transport or storage.

 

Advantages of Barrier Seals

 

Enhanced Security

Barrier seals provide a high level of security to prevent unauthorized access or tampering. They use advanced locking mechanisms, such as metal locks and plastic structures, to ensure that the seal cannot be removed without leaving trace evidence.

Easy Identification

Barrier seals are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, which enables them to be easily identified. This makes it easy for individuals to differentiate between various types of packages and containers and helps prevent errors in shipping and handling.

Wide Application

Barrier seals can be used across a wide range of industries, from logistics and transportation to healthcare and food processing. They are particularly useful for securing high-value goods, hazardous materials, and sensitive equipment.

Durable

Barrier seals are made from high-quality materials, such as metal or heavy-duty plastic, making them durable and resistant to wear and tear. This ensures that they can withstand the harsh conditions of transportation and storage.

Types of Barrier Seals
 

 

Metal band / Metal Clip seals

Manufactured from a metal material and are generally used to provide barrier protection.

Cable seals

Consist of a steel cable which is fixed at one end into the locking mechanism of the seal body.

Re usable Security Seals

Consist of a main re-usable body which can be sealed with a single use seal.

Bolt seals

Offer the highest level of barrier protection and are manufactured in two metal parts that are designed to fit together via a locking mechanism.

Electronic Seals

Are typically reusable. Generate a unique time, date and number each time the seal is closed and opened. Register and record all sealing and opening events.

Tamper Evident Labels

Can be physically stuck to a surface and give the user the option of leaving a residue, disintegrating, and/or displaying an indication of attempted removal or tampering.

 

Barrier Seals unique features

 

Easy fit Tough Design

Eradicating the largest reason for premature seal failures – installation damage, was one of the main objectives of the designing process. This was achieved by designing the stiffest profile and using the thickest steel ever used for a seal, right at the front face. The rubber OD beads allow for the minimum fitting force required, and the low friction barrier ensures maximum transmission of the fitting forces to the seals OD.

Multi zone Labyrinth

BUsing the Latest Labyrinth Technology, the MBE Barrier seal provides the best protection and the lowest friction in the market. The combination of low-profile section right angle corners, low friction barrier, two rubber wipers and a specifically formulated waterproof grease, to both lubricate and keep water out, ensures this is the best seal at keeping dirt, grit water and ice out on the market.

Low Friction Bumper

The Low Friction bumper performs two major functions, which other seals simply have not got. Firstly, the bumper transmits the fitting force from the front of the seal to the Seal OD in a far more efficient manner than any other seal. Most other seals have a rubber bumper, which acts like a brake, thus increasing the required torque, creating excessive temperatures, and ultimately more fuel to turn the seal. This can last a few hundred hours until the rubber eventually goes hard. Secondly, the bumper acts as the first contacting defence against dirt ingress, as part of the multizone labyrinth protection System.

Components of Barrier Seals

 

Segmented carbon ring barrier seals are typically comprised of two sets of circumferential rings, an inboard ring and an outboard ring, contained within a housing (fig. 4-2). Each ring consists of several carbon segments that are held together by a garter spring around the circumference of the ring.

Process of Barrier Seals

 

The barrier seal, sometimes referred to as a separation seal, separates the gas seal from the compressor shaft bearings. A separation gas (typically nitrogen or air) is injected into the barrier seal, whose primary function is to prohibit the flow of bearing lubrication oil or oil mist into the gas seal.

How to maintain Barrier Seals

Inspection

It is essential to check the seals for leaks, cracking, and other signs of damage. The inspection should be done at least once a month or more frequently if the equipment operates in harsh conditions.

Lubrication

Barrier seals need to be lubricated regularly to ensure smooth operation. Use a lubricant that is compatible with the type of material used for the seals. Make sure to apply the lubricant evenly to all parts of the seal and avoid over-lubricating.

Cleanliness

Proper cleaning of barrier seals will help them function effectively. Dirt, debris, or other contaminants accumulated on the seals' surface can affect their function. Clean the seals with warm water and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris.

 

Tightening

It is important to ensure that the barrier seals are tightened properly to avoid any leaks. Check the tightness of the seals regularly and tighten them as needed.

Replacement

Barrier seals have a limited lifespan and need to be replaced periodically. Make sure to replace the seals with the same type and size as the original to maintain proper functionality.

Preventive maintenance

To prolong the lifespan of the barrier seals, it is important to perform preventive maintenance regularly. This includes cleaning, lubrication, inspection, and tightening as mentioned above.
