Key Performance Features
- Heat Resistant Performance
Graphite content helps maintain integrity in high temperature environments, making it suitable for a wide range of pumping conditions. - Low Friction Surface
Graphite lubrication properties reduce wear on shaft surfaces and packing faces, supporting smoother operation and reduced maintenance. - Customisable Length
Supplied as a 1 metre length that can be cut to suit specific pump sizes and sealing requirements. - Durable Construction
Engineered for extended life in industrial, agricultural, and fluid handling applications. - Reliable Sealing
Designed to control fluid leakage while allowing smooth shaft movement, contributing to efficient pump performance.
Usage Guidelines
- Measure the pump shaft or sealed component to determine the appropriate packing length.
- Cut the packing material cleanly to the required size.
- Install packing rings around the shaft following the pump manufacturer recommendations.
- Tighten gland or sealing housing evenly to achieve effective sealing without overtightening.
Application Suitability
- Pump shaft sealing in water handling and chemical transfer systems
- Agricultural and irrigation pump installations
- Industrial fluid handling equipment
- Valves and rotating machinery requiring leak control
Maintenance Recommendations
- Inspect packing periodically for wear or compression set.
- Adjust gland tightening to maintain sealing performance as packing wears.
- Replace packing when sealing performance deteriorates or leakage increases.
