Gland packing has long been the traditional sealing solution for many industries thanks to its low upfront cost and flexibility. Gland packing utilises a braided rope-like materials that is packed around the shaft of the pump. This fills the space between and prevents fluid loss from around the shaft. It is often considered the sealing of choice for slurry pumps in applications like mining and ore processing where large equipment size, large shaft movements, and aggressive liquids often make mechanical seals the inferior economic choice.
Gland packing offers multiple benefits that make it an ideal choice for certain applications. Firstly, gland packing offers a low upfront cost and easier installation compared to mechanical seals as it does not require decoupling of drive shaft, resulting in a shorter turnaround time. At UPS we offer a comprehensive competitively priced range to suit all industry needs.
