The seal has particular use as a seal in vats having a rotatable drum (10). The seal prevents material from getting between the ends of the drum and adjacent vat inside surface and includes an inflatable tube retainer (20) extending at least partly around the drum (10), a wear shoe (28) of generally triangular cross-section having one surface (32) in sealing contact with the drum, a second surface (36) housing an inflatable tube (51, 53) and a third surface in contact with a wear shoe retainer (40). The tube (51, 53) causes the wear shoe to press against the drum, thereby to create the seal.
