Braided packing BURGMANN INDUSTRIES

Stuffing Box Packings (Gland Packings) are machine-braided cords of different materials, used for sealing rotating shafts in pumps, ventilators and fittings. Packing sections are laid round the shaft in circles and then compressed with the gland. For dynamic applications, the compression must be so adjusted that a certain minor amount of leakage between packing and shaft may emerge. Harmful dry running is prevented thus and the leakage is dissipated or returned. Various materials and material combinations are used according to the individual case of application. Special lubricants are incorporated into the braiding to improve running properties.
