The Direct X primary mechanical shoe seal, designed for external floating roofs, is widely regarded as the most reliable and efficient primary shoe seal available in the storage tank industry. This specialised mechanical seal ensures a continuous, tight seal between the floating roof and the tank wall, effectively preventing vapour escape and reducing the risk of liquid spills.
Superior Design and Durability
The Direct X shoe seal is constructed with robust, all stainless-steel components, providing an extended service life and exceptional durability. It is suitable for installation during both in-service and out-of-service periods, offering operational flexibility to tank owners and operators.
The Directank Direct X Shoe Support mechanism features a durable single-hinge configuration, ensuring structural rigidity and maintaining the shoe plate level throughout variable rim spaces.
Reliable Sealing Mechanism
The seal is formed by the compression of a flexible sealing material between the shoes or rollers and the tank wall. These components move seamlessly with the floating roof, allowing the seal to flex and adapt to changes in tank level and temperature.
Performance in Challenging Conditions
Designed to withstand large rim gaps and tank shell inconsistencies, the Direct X mechanical shoe seal ensures reliable performance even in the most demanding operational environments. Its proven effectiveness and durability make it the primary seal of choice for the majority of tank owners and operators, offering continuous and dependable operation.
