Improve Stuffing Box Reliability



Back in December 2020, Processing Editor Jesse Osborne and SEPCO Regional Manager David Brewer discussed how to improve stuffing box reliability. The video below, originally on processing.com, details the basics for extending packing life and the health of rotating equipment.

To improve stuffing box reliability, you must optimize several factors,  including:

  • Proper packing selection
  • Precision installation
  • Correct environmental controls setup
  • Preventing or minimizing shaft deflection
