The proper packing for an industrial pump is crucial to ensure efficient and reliable pump operation. The right packing choice depends on several factors, including the type of pump, the fluid being pumped, the operating conditions, and the desired level of sealing performance.

Black liquor, a byproduct of the pulp-making process, presents unique sealing challenges in pulp and paper mills. Effectively sealing black liquor systems is not just a matter of operational efficiency but a crucial aspect of plant safety.

Air seals play a crucial role in gypsum-based drywall manufacturing plants, offering several advantages in terms of efficiency and operational performance.

Component seals and cartridge seals are two common types of mechanical seals, each offering distinct advantages depending on the application and process requirements.

PTFE and Graphite are popular materials used in valve and shaft packing, as well as similar applications. Both are usually found in a braided style, and both have a low coefficient of friction that allows them to be excellent sealants with longer shelf lives.

Engineered Products are specially dimensioned and use professionally matched materials to meet your specific needs. Sizes are critical to sealing equipment, and chemical compatibility is an often dangerously overlooked factor. Our materials science textbooks are the most up-to-date, and our engineers can assist you in making a safe, informed, and cost-effective selection.

Food-grade compression packing is a type of packing material specifically designed and approved for use in applications where it comes into contact with food and beverage products.

Organizing a plant shutdown, often referred to as a turnaround, is a complex task that demands meticulous planning and coordination.

Deciding on the right sealing solution for your rotating equipment involves considering several factors to ensure reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The choice between mechanical seals and packing, or even selecting among various types of mechanical seals, depends on the specific application requirements, operating conditions, and maintenance capabilities.
