Mechanical Packing

Mechanical packing, or "Jam Packing" as some refer to it, has changed a great deal over the centuries. Original packing was nothing more than hemp rope jammed between boat oars and the boat hull to keep the water out. Today you have braided packings, tapes, formed rings and a host of various designs and materials to handle any type of liquid, environment, and temperature in today's various process industries. We have tried to focus on fewer types with broader ranges in pH range, temperatures and pressures. That makes decisions easier, controls costs and ultimately gives the customer better and less confusing choices.
