Injectable Packing Injectable packing is not a new

Injectable Packing Injectable packing is not a new concept, however Utex has developed a new means of containment that has revolutionized injectable packing. This new means of containment (patent pending) enables injectable packing to perform even better than before in most services, especially where abrasive particles are present in the pumpage.

Injectable Packing Utex Industries manufactures several styles of UPAK to fit most packed box applications

Typical Installation

Injectable Packing Hydraulic Injection Gun

Injectable Packing Although UPAK is available in bulk form, pre-packaged “sticks” of UPAK make loading the hydraulic injection gun simple.

Injectable Packing The “Giant Button Head Fitting” and companion quick coupler are designed especially for the injection of highly viscous materials.

Injectable Packing Pictured here with optional ball valve, the “Giant Button Head Fitting” contains a ball check, eliminating the need for an additional valve on most applications.

Typical Installation

Typical Installation When leakage does occur, no gland adjustment is necessary. Simply inject more UPAK through the port until leakage subsides. This can be done without stopping the pump. UPAK will run leak free in most common applications for extended periods of time.

Injectable Packing 100 SG UPAK With ASF End Rings

Injectable Packing The “ASF” ring is a molded seal ring similar to a “Vee” or “Chevron” type ring. The difference is that it is flat backed and doesn’t require a top adapter. These rings can be molded from a myriad of different compounds and can be of either homogeneous or composite construction. In order to facilitate easy installation, we have devised a means of cutting the molded rings in an interlocking fashion that keeps the joint from separating during installation or during equipment operation. The result is superior anti-extrusion of the UPAK material and/or limited contamination of the UPAK from process liquid.

Installation with ASF Rings The bottom ring is oriented toward the UPAK on most services but when the process contains abrasives, the bottom ring can be rotated to keep abrasives out of the UPAK.

Installation with ASF Rings

Installation with ASF Rings Leakage can be controlled by adding UPAK without stopping the pump, thus preventing costly downtime.

Compression Packing vs. Injectable Packing Compression Packing: Injectable Packing: • Requires break-in time • Must leak to lubricate • Must be adjusted regularly • Shutdown required to adjust • Causes severe shaft damage • Cannot seal on damaged shaft • Frequently requires replacement • Requires no break-in time • Runs leak free • Easy & infrequent adjustment • Shutdown not required to adjust • Causes no shaft damage • Can seal on damaged shaft • Infrequently requires replacement
