Braided packing
DEPAC Anstalt Establishment
Soft material was stuffed into a box - the stuffing box - in order to achieve a sealing effect. The material become known accordingly as stuffing box packing.
Much has changed of course since those days, but packings are still in use today.
QUALITY cuts COSTS!
Packings need to be retightened and replenished and therefore cause operating costs.
The aim must be to eliminate or at least reduce these overheads.
This can only be done with packings of the best quality.
The possibly higher costs of a quality product stand in no relation to the low costs of 5 or 6 installed packing rings.
Therefore, only packings of the best possible quality should be selected or specified.
Quality depends on four factors: basic material, lubricant, braiding and strength.
