Mechanical Packing that Meets the Pulp and Paper Industry's Demands

August 6, 2024
Peter Chilton - Marketing Manager

The pulp and paper industry depends on equipment that endures high temperatures, abrasive materials, and corrosive chemicals. Traditional packing materials often fail to withstand these harsh conditions, resulting in frequent maintenance and downtime.

That’s where SealRyt's Style 7413 Mechanical Packing comes in.

The Ideal Mechanical Packing for the Pulp and Paper Industry

SealRyt Style 7413 mechanical packing.

SealRyt's Style 7413 Mechanical Packing is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of the pulp and paper industry:

  1. High Temperature Tolerance: Style 7413 can handle temperatures commonly found in pulp and paper processing, ensuring reliable sealing performance in hot water applications and steam environments.
  2. Exceptional Chemical Resistance: The packing's composition of PTFE and graphite fibers provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals used in pulp bleaching, pulping, and paper processing. This resistance minimizes the risk of packing degradation and leakage.
  3. Low Friction, High Efficiency: With its low coefficient of friction, Style 7413 reduces wear on shafts and equipment, extending the operational lifespan of pumps and valves. This characteristic also contributes to improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
  4. Adaptability and Conformability: The inter-braided construction of Style 7413 allows it to conform tightly to the stuffing box, maintaining a secure seal that prevents leakage. This adaptability is crucial in ensuring smooth operations and minimizing product loss.

Benefits of Style 7413 for the Pulp and Paper Industry

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: By minimizing downtime and the need for frequent replacements, Style 7413 helps reduce maintenance costs, contributing to overall operational efficiency.
  • Enhanced Equipment Reliability: The reliable sealing provided by Style 7413 ensures that pumps, valves, and other equipment operate consistently, supporting continuous production without interruptions.
  • Environmental Compliance: With its chemical resistance and durability, Style 7413 helps maintain environmental compliance by preventing leaks and minimizing the release of chemicals and process fluids.
