Engineered
to reduce your maintenance costs UTEX
manufactures injectable packing for use in pumps, valves, mixers and other
dynamic/static sealing applications. U-PAK® is an engineered blend of
lubricants and fibers that provides a seal between the shaft and the stuffing
box walls. It can be installed by conventional means or by using a hydraulic
or manual gun that injects the packing into place. Once in place,
the packing can be "topped off" if leakage occurs, often when
the equipment is under pressure and operating. |

U-PAK® injectable pump and valve sealant
from UTEX Industries combines a malleable packing material with
space-age chemistry and technology to produce a superior pump and valve
packing material that can be injected while the pump is running without
interrupting production.
U-PAK® injectable sealant is made from a
blend of high-tech, non-asbestos, non-hazardous synthetic fibers and
carefully selected blends of greases, oils and other proprietary
binders. It is this unique blend of fibers and binding agents that
allows the sealant to be run virtually leak free. And, because it does
not depend on products leakage for lubrication, the frictional heat
buildup that so often leads to compression packing failure is
eliminated. The sealant's low friction coefficient and non-stick
properties help extend equipment life by reducing shaft and sleeve wear.
There is no need to worry about sizes,
because U-PAK® sealant is a malleable, putty-like product packed in bulk
form. You can't leave the shop with the wrong size U-PAK®! |
Features |
- Malleable, putty-like
consistency makes it easy to use and install
- Utilizes latest
chemistry and fiber technology
- Work well on worn shafts
by conforming to odd shapes
- Low coefficient of
friction reduces heat
- Operates virtually leak
free
- Convenient packaging

|
Benefits |
- Reduces operating costs
- Less costly over the
life of the pump or valve
- Saves on energy
consumption
- Reduces or eliminates
downtime
- Extends equipment life
- Never needs replacing
- Reduces shaft and sleeve
wear
|
| The
U-PAK® sealants are easily installed with any flat-bladed tool, such
as a putty knife or wide-bladed screwdriver. Or, the material can be
finger-packed into the box. An anti-extrusion ring of the appropriate
material is placed in the stuffing box around the shaft. A second ring
is put in place after the sealant is installed.
When repacking become necessary, you do not
have to remove the old packing. Just add more sealant packing
material by using the U-PAK® injection gun to inject new packing through
a fitting installed on the pump or valve stuffing box.
All U-PAK® injectable sealants, with the
exception of Style 300 BP, are available in bulk containers of 1 kg
(2.2 lb), 5 kg (11 lb), 10 kg (22 lb) and in convenient 10-pack stick cartridges
which greatly simplify injection gun loading. Style 300 BP is available
only in bulk containers of 1 kg (2.2 lb), 5 kg (11 lb), and 10 kg (22
lb). |
