STYLE - 1061 PTFE WITH GRAPHITE PACKINGS

Construction: High tensile strength yarn made from a special grade of PTFE, & blended with Graphite & lubricated with inert high temperature lubricant.

Technical Parameters:

APPLICATIONS: Recommended in pumps & valves, agitators, mixers & centrifuges involving high peripheral speeds & high temperature. Teflon gland packing is suitable for high-speed rotary application. It can be used in most aggressive service medias. Also suitable for paints, oxygen, lacquers & varnishes. Our professional teams are manufacturers, suppliers and exporters of ptfe gland packing in Mumbai India to all over the world. PTFE gland packing is used in chemicals, Petrochemicals, Paper & Pulp Industries Textiles industries power plants, etc

RUBBER CORE PTFE WITH GRAPHITE PACKINGS: Teflon 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. PTFE graphite gland packing is suitable for pumps, reactors, mixers, agitators, etc.

INSTALLATIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR PACKINGS

1	When rings are to be formed from continuous length of gland 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 ptfe gland packing 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 gland 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 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 gland 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 ptfe gland adjustment for any looseness that may have taken place due to initial setting in.
