PACKINGS
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) Packings for
energy supply offer a great degree of flexibility for
efficient applications and the security of the highest
sealing function.
The combination of tried-and-trusted material qualities
in conjunction with new material developments enables
FST to be able to seal a broad range of application cases reliably with only a few different packing types. The
limited stocking requirements for various packing types
allows the customer to optimise costs effectively.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Either "cut to size" or pre-moulded packing rings are
used for glands.
Rings are best cut from by the metre product with
the aid of a Merkel packing cutter, cut to exactly the
correct length and shaped into a ring on installation
around the shaft or spindle.. The packing can also be
wound around a shaft or tube with the same diameter
and cut to size. A diagonal cut will provide better
sealing properties than a butt joint. Adhesive tape is
applied to packings without a binding agent on both
sides of the cut prior to cutting to prevent fraying.
The cut is made through the tape.
The prepared rings are then inserted one after the other
in the packing with the cuts offset to one another and
tightened using the gland nuts. The packing should
be tightened firmly initially so that it can mould to the
interior of the gland. The gland nuts are then loosened
again and re-tightened with moderate force.
Valve packings
An operating compression of 2 5x times the medium
pressure and a minimum compression of 5N/mm2 is
used for valve packings.
Please consult our technical advisory service for the
correct values.
"Running in" new packings
Shaft seals are particularly susceptible to thermal damage during the "running-in" period. Therefore it is important to pay special attention to the shaft temperature
during the running-in phase. If the packing runs too hot,
the unit must be stopped. After a short cooling down
period a homogeneous leakage should appear and
the unit can then be restarted. It may be necessary to
repeat this procedure several times until the necessary
leakage at the shaft is a
chieved.
45
PRE-COMPRESSION OF PACKING
The correct pre-compression and operating compression
is dependent on the type of packing and its application.
The appropriate nut forces can only be measured with
a torque wrench or similar instrument.
Pump packings
An operating compression of 1,05 2x times the
pressure of the medium is used for pump packings.
However, a minimum compression of 0,5 1,5N/mm2
is required.
766
Cut packing at 45
GAP WIDTHS
The permissible gap widths between shaft (plunger)
and gland bore must be 2/100 of the packing width.
If the gap widths are larger or the packing has a
tendency to extrude, suitable antiextrusion end rings
must be provided.
A copy of our current installation instructions is included
with each delivery.

Merkel Alchem is made from pure PTFE yarns and is additionally impregnated with PTFE. This guarantees excellent chemical resistance. The high cross sectional density
and the tight braid structure ensure a very good sealing
behaviour. The packing has a good form stability and a
low shrinkage behaviour. Alchem is thus also well suited
for plunger pumps.

Merkel ArochemII combination braid consists of aramide and PTFE graphite compound yarn. The DIAPLEX
braiding makes this packing especially stable. Merkel
ArochemII is particularly suitable for the sealing of
plungers and low speed shafts. The graphite-filled PTFE
yarn on the contact area has very good sliding properties and protects the plunger or shaft surface. The stable
braided aramide yarn at the packing edges protects
against gap extrusion and ensures a long service
life. Merkel ArochemII is thus especially suitable for
difficult sealing cases such as bridging large gaps and
with abrasive media. In high pressure plunger pumps
in end ring installation with pretensioned packing sets
especially long service life with constant sealing effect
is achieved.

PACKING CUTTER
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
The universal packing cutter was designed for the practical cutting of packings from the roll. With the help of
this cutter, packings can be cut accurately and correctly
to suit the application. The measuring scale is in inches
and millimetres. The scale corresponds to the shaft or
spindle diameter. The packing cross-section is taken into
account by adjusting the slide. The slide stop and cutting guide are designed for the optimal cut at 45.

PACKING EXTRACTOR
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A clean housing is important for the sealing properties
of a new packing. For this reason used seals must be
carefully and completely removed from the sealing box.
Packing extractors were developed for the rapid and
careful removal of packings. The forged, helical-shaped
tips are firmly joined to the extractor shaft. With their
large pitch, they can easily be screwed into all types
of braided and fabric packings. With the flexible and
powerful shaft, even difficult to access packing gland
boxes are easy to reach. The T-bar handle is designed
for the tensile load and sits easily in the hand. Packing
extractors sets are supplied in a practical case. Each
set contains each size of steel extractor: 22 cm, 33cm,
44cm long for packing boxes from 6mm, 10mm and
13mm width. For the installation of packings, metal ring
segments can be screwed onto the extractors and in this
way they become the ideal tool for pushing the packing
rings evenly into the housing without damage.
