Refractory packing

Sealing operations in various industries are specific to the same industry.

Today, polymers such as Teflon have entered this huge industry, and for example, pure Teflon packing has been one of the best-selling products in this collection.

The question that arises is why we should use fireproof packing for sealing and mechanical packaging of pumps and other industrial parts ?? And why can’t cheaper ways be used ??

We will answer all these questions; Because the use of quality refractory packages has advantages that it is clearly necessary to understand these concepts.

Why do we use fireproof packing for sealing and mechanical packaging?

The first question that comes to you young engineers and craftsmen is why all the experienced technicians and engineers use mechanical sealing and packaging instead of solving the static problem of a pump?

Using refractory packing to pack and seal a pump is one of the most common and valuable sealing methods and is still a flexible technique. In previous years, refractory fabrics and fireproof tape were used to close the gap on a pump and seal it. In this way, the more cycles the tape and cloth were fastened to the pump, shaft and tank, the more complete the process. But if the wrong fabric and tape was used or a different felt bowl was used; It caused very serious damage to very expensive parts, which sometimes led to the bankruptcy of an industrial workshop. This is very important for our country, which is under sanctions. In addition to the restrictions we face in importing parts, the outflow of currency from the country is another issue that needs to be addressed. But using refractory packing is a flexible method. That is, even if you use the wrong packing; The desired packing is removed but your device or pump and tank will not be damaged.

Sealing in this way is one of the most modern methods of mechanical packaging. In this method, due to the very special texture that is used to make the packings, we see better coverage and reduced friction, higher mechanical strength and also much higher thermal resistance.

But the other answers we have for this question for you are:

Maintenance personnel are generally easier to work with; Because this method is easy to use and also does not require very high expertise and skills. When the sealing is not complete, we simply see a leak in the seal. In this way, workers and maintenance personnel can adjust the relevant percentage or change the packing. That is why these products are also used in fire pumps to prevent a catastrophe.

Refractory packing price

But another thing we are exploring is the cost of products.

The initial cost of repair and personnel in this method has been significantly reduced in other methods. For example, in properly adjusted roller seals, the leakage rate should be approximately 1 drop per minute and 25 mm per inch off-axis. In a shaft with a diameter of 2,000 “/ 50 mm, this is equivalent to 2 drops per minute or 100 grams per month or 1200 grams per year.

You may not understand what this scenario means. But in short, and in a much simpler language, we have to offer our services to our dear customers, so that the amount of leakage in this method of sealing is reduced 5 to 10 times. This method is an ideal seal. This means that the cost you pay for the waste of your materials and raw materials is saved and easily pays the salaries of all workers for 6 months.

In addition to these cases; Maintenance costs for refractory packings are much lower.

To complete this article, we will give you another advantage of fireproof packing.

Life of parts using refractory packing

It is very common to say that complete sealing increases the life of parts as well as the high quality of the product produced. But this is so important and fundamental that we must have intended to mention it as well.

The main reason for the loss of expensive parts and devices is incomplete sealing and leakage of liquid or steam and heat to these parts.

If the products you produce or the tank and pump you seal contain acidic and corrosive substances or you have a very high temperature; This is very tangible for you.

But another issue that is considered is the quality of products produced. It is not a secret for you, dear industrialists, that the complete sealing of a pump or industrial tank increases the quality of the product. In the food industry, of course, this is even more important. Use of fireproof sealing packing that causes complete sealing; Reduces the possibility of toxic substances leaking into the product. Therefore, using proper packaging will cause the health of the product.
