Nitrogen Blanketing of totes with agitators

[DiscoStu216]

I need to install a nigrogen blanketing system on a process using 10 stationary totes. 3 of these totes have agitation. Is there a mechanical or magnetic seal I can use to seal around the shaft? The unagitated totes are obviously not a problem, but I'm having trouble engineering around these shafts....

In general rotary shaft seals are very common. Basic considerations are materials compatibility, pressure rating and the speed and surface condition of the shaft.

This is a simplification, but with the information provided, this is a starting point.

Ostand- Thanks for the help. I haven't had any experience with rotary shaft seals yet... but that was the answer I was looking for.
