ALLENTECH Secondary Shoe Seal

Custom Tailored to Your Design

The Allentech stainless steel secondary mechanical shoe seal for aluminum internal floating roofs is designed with high strength materials to outlast other internal IFR secondary seals. The tightly spaced hoop springs exert a nearly constant force against the tank shell to maintain the seal even around peaked vertical seams and abrupt tank distortions.

The Allentech secondary shoe seal uses PTFE fabric and type 301 full-hard stainless steel hoop springs to provide excellent durability, even pressure application, and robust chemical compatibility.

Benefits

  • High durability
    Long service life thanks to fully hardened Type 301 stainless steel pressure mechanisms.
  • Lightweight
    Specially designed for aluminium internal floating roofs (IFR).
  • Excellent compatibility
    Stainless steel and PTFE components are compatible with almost all stored products.
  • Even pressure / Gap sealing
    The arch springs apply even pressure to the bucket lid through continuous contact, ensuring a gap-free seal.

Design features

No elastomer tip
Maximises durability and longevity.

Stainless steel shoes, aluminium hangers and brackets
Compatible with most products. Fasteners in corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminium.

Patented stainless steel hoop springs
Provides maximum shoe movement without variation in spring pressure. The springs press against the shoes along a long line, eliminating point contact and wear.

Lightweight and flexible design
Most IFRs can be retrofitted with an ALLENTECH primary or dual shoe system.

The hoop springs are bolted on both shoes and IFR
Provides positive static connection every two feet below the liquid level (primary) and above the vapour space (secondary).

Stainless steel pins welded to shoes
No through holes that can cause corrosion and increase friction against the tank shell.
