Product Description
Gland packing seals are traditional sealing mechanisms utilized for preventing leakage along rotating or reciprocating shafts in machinery. Typically crafted from materials like PTFE, graphite, or aramid fibers, they consist of braided or twisted strands packed into the space (gland) between a shaft and its housing. This design allows for controlled leakage for lubrication while preventing excessive fluid loss. Gland packing seals have widespread usage in valves, pumps, and other mechanical equipment across industries. With options for varied finishes like lubricated or graphite-coated, they provide reliable sealing under high temperatures, pressures, and shaft speeds, offering cost-effective and efficient leakage control.
Exceptional Material IntegrityCrafted from advanced materials such as graphite, PTFE, asbestos, or carbon fiber, our gland packing seal guarantees resilience and reliability in extreme environments. The braided packing style and choice of square or cross section shapes ensure maximum versatility for industrial sealing requirements.
Wide-Ranging ApplicationsDesigned for use in pumps, compressors, valves, and mixers, these seals excel in both chemical and mechanical resilience. Their wide pH tolerance (0-14) and high temperature endurance make them suitable for diverse sectors including chemical, oil & gas, and water treatment.
