STYLE - 1082 BRAIDED PURE PTFE ARAMID (KEVLAR)^® CORNER PACKING

Construction: High grade Pure PTFE Yarn Braided with Pure Aramid yarn at the 4 corners. This structure enhances the lubricating properties & reinforces the strength of the packings.

Technical Parameters:

APPLICATIONS: A non-toxic & dimensionally stable packing suitable for corrosive chemicals and abrasive media. Kevlar gland packing widely used in piston pumps, valves, Paper & pulp, waste water treatment, petrochemicals food and pharma industries, dairies, refineries, fertilizer plants, etc. We are manufacturers, suppliers and exporters of kevlar gland packing. Due to structural stability & lubricating properties kevlar gland packing is also used as an Anti-extrusion rings as it can withstand high pressure in rotary as well as reciprocating applications.

RUBBER CORE PURE PTFE WITH ARAMID PACKINGS: Kevlar gland packing can be made available with silicon / rubber solid or hollow core. A specially developed packing for use on rotating equipments with excessive shaft deviation. It also reduces shaft / sleeve wear. The center of silicon core / cord gives it strong restoration properties and exerts back-pressure, resulting in total sealing. Kevlar braided corner packing is suitable for pumps, reactors, mixers, agitators, etc.

INSTALLATIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR PACKINGS

1	When rings are to be formed from continuous length of packing, spirally wrap the packing around a rod of diameter equivalent to the valve spindle. Cut the required number of rings to fill the packing space, with a sharp knife to obtain good butt joints.
2	Remove all old packing carefully.
3	Clean properly all the surfaces that will be in constant contact with the packing and if possible apply lubricant. Check gland and neck bushes and spindle or shaft surface for wear and repair if necessary.
4	Place the first ring around the spindle or shaft by opening to an “s” configuration to ensure that the ring is not damaged.
5	First partially enter both ends of the first ring simultaneously into the stuffing box and then insert the remaining part of the rings. After that firmly push it to the bottom of the stuffing box.Assist with split sleeve
6	Similarly insert other rings and ensure that the joints are at 90^o. N.B: rings must be fitted individually and not as a set

FOR PUMPS APPLICATIONS

1	When all the rings have been fitted to fill the stuffing box, fit the gland follower and tighten the gland nuts to level the gland spigot. Tighten up to finger tightness only, then turn nut by one or two thread, loose it back & again tighten up to finger tightness again. (when storage is anticipated the kevlar gland packing should be left slack.) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2	Run pump up to operating speed for 10 to 15 minutes. If there is no leakage, stop pump, and loosen gland packing further. Repeat until leakage occurs. The controlled leakage, essential for lubrications purpose, can then be obtained by running the pump and evenly tightening the gland nut in increments of two threads until approximately one drop every few seconds is obtained. Approximately 15 minutes should be left between successive adjustments.

FOR VALVES

1	When all the rings have been fitted to fill the stuffing box, fit the gland follower and tighten the gland nuts to level the gland spigot. Tighten evenly until spindle has been tightly gripped then ease off the kevlar gland packing nuts so that the spindle will just turn. The system pressure can now be introduced.
2	After a few hours service it is advisable to check the gland packing adjustment for any looseness that may have taken place due to initial setting in.
