Main applications

Graphite gland packing for high temperatures

Mining

Locking device

Sewage treatment plants

Paper and cellulose industry
Cement plants

Mounting of gearboxes

Chemical industry

Other material variants

Larger nominal sizes up to DN 900

Slurry

Product benefits

Abrasive fluids

Blade bottom edge curved for high cutting force. Smooth

blade surface due to precision grinding and hard
chromium plating, for increased abrasion resistance and
long service life.

Pulp
Waste water
Service water

Internal gland packing with improved sealing

performance

Other fluids on request.

Two-piece body designed without dead volumes to

prevent pulp deposits inside the body and jamming of the
blade, particularly in the case of solids-laden fluids.
