E044HS1C23 Gland Assembly is used for 6/4 EAH, 8/6 EAH Slurry Pumps, and made in C23 (SS316L) material.
The gland packing is a contact-type sealing element. Compared with other types of shaft seals, they are adjustable and suitable for use with pressures and circumferential speeds higher than those radial shaft seal rings are used for
Gland packing
The gland packing's application limit is primarily determined by the extent to which heat developing due to friction can be dissipated. For heavy-duty gland packings, leakage water is actually pre-cooled by means of an internally cooled shaft protecting sleeve and a cooling jacket.
The packing materials generally employed are braided cords made from asbestos-free yarn such as Ramie, Aramid, PTFE, graphite fibres or cotton, which are processed on special machines to form endless square braids.
