James Walker is now supplying a wider-than-ever range of fluid sealing products and services.
Injectable packings reduce downtime
Three new injectable compression packings developed by James Walker will save valuable downtime when repacking glands on centrifugal pumps and other rotary plant.
It contains details of over 40 compression packings for every gland sealing application in rotary and reciprocating pumps, valves, tank lids and furnace doors, as well as many other static and dynamic duties.
A quick reference chart helps engineers short-list suitable packings for an application before studying detailed specifications.
There is also information on custom-designed and non-standard products.
There are data on Supagraf Control, the VOC fugitive emission control packing for control valves that meets TA-Luft requirements and plant designed to the European Union's IPPC best available technique requirements.
Another added product is Valcor Hi-Temp, braided from stable, non-hazardous fibres, for high efficiency static sealing and slow rotary applications at up to 1000C constant.
Other James Walker grades will handle extreme temperature, pressure or speed, and provide efficient long-term sealing with chemically aggressive and highly abrasive fluid media.
A number are approved for use with potable water, liquid and gaseous oxygen, foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals.
Andrew Goulding, James Walker's Compression Packings Product Manager, said: "We design and manufacture packings for every gland sealing duty, using a vast range of materials such as PTFE, graphite and synthetic fibres, as well as the hardest-wearing natural yarns".
"Many of our products have state-of-the-art lubricant packages impregnated during manufactures to provide easy start up, speedier run-in and very low-friction operation - for reduced torque and power consumption - plus longer adjustment-free sealing life".
The packed gland remains one of industry's most popular sealing devices.
It is simple to install and maintain, reliable and cost effective.
A single grade of length form compression packing is suitable for many different valves, pumps and other plant across a site. Request a free brochure from James Walker and Co ...
