Braided
packings
are not as effective as Rains-Flo Sealing Systems in pumps due to the
lack of force transfer ability within the stuffing box. Braided packing, when
adjusted, will get stuck in the stuffing box over-activating the 2 to 3 rings
next to the packing gland. This will allow product leakage to enter into the
stuffing box, passing 75% of the packing, and relying on just 25% of the
packing to seal off leakage. You can see how the rings are not compressed
evenly throughout the stuffing box. These braided packing rings will become
hard and dry next to the packing gland, causing excessive leakage and wear. |

Rains-Flo Sealing Systems, due to its unique design, will allow the adjustment of
the packing gland to activate all the rings in the stuffing box. With
Rains-Flo, sealing performance begins at the base ring of the stuffing box
and continues throughout the entire packing mass. Leakage is kept to a
minimum, which will reduce packing contamination and shaft/sleeve wear. This
translates into less leakage, longer packing life, less downtime and
operating costs. Install the best packing system in your pumps, Install Rains-Flo

Rains-Flo Sealing Systems are also an excellent choice where flush water and a
lantern ring are required to prevent packing contamination. Since Rains-Flo
can transmit gland force to activate all the rings in the stuffing box, the
flush water will be directed into the pump, which will accomplish its
intended purpose. The superiority of Rains-Flo Sealing Systems for abrasive
service is the result of lower leakage rates, better flush control, reduced amount of flush water, longer sleeve and packing
life. |
