| StarPac
is a carefully controlled blend of high-tech greases and lubricants
combined with modern fibers
resulting in a superior product. Its malleable consistency
makes it easy to use. It can be injected with high pressure
gun or installed by hand. Unlike braided packing, no cutting
is necessary. It will conform to any size stuffing box and
seal it. |
| StarPac's
unique properties assure superior performance and deliver
major benifits
resulting in improved plant and equipment maintenance at reduced
costs. Its ability to fill any crevice makes it an effective
seal on worn or groved shaft sleeves. Highly lubricous, StarPac
requires no cooling or flush water. The operating costs of
wasted water and product is eliminated. StarPac will run leak-free.
A cleaner environment, meeting EPA concerns, can be achieved.
The low coefficient of friciton allows equipment to run cooler
and consume less energy. |
| Highly
versatile, Star-Pac is formulated in a variety of styles to
meet the conditions found in almost any industry.
There is a stlye suited to your needs; from high acidity to
high alkalinity (0 to 14pH), tempertures to 1200°F
(649°C), pump pressures to 300 psi (20 bar). A non-staining,
non-contaminating stlye exists which meets FDA standards for
food contact and potable water applications.

| StarPac
pump sealant is available in 2 lb. and 5 lb. containers
for initial loading and in 1/2 lb. sticks for final sealing
under pressure with or without our gun. Injection gun will
help eliminate unwanted voids in the stuffing box and allow
sealant to be added while equipment is running. |

|
StarPac
is quick and easy to install.
|
|
|
| In
pumps, StarPac should be installed by hand: |
|
1. Shut
off seal water and lube inlet and install button head fitting.
2. Remove
old packing and lantern ring.
3. Inspect
and clean shaft and gland.
4. Install
compatable braided packing ring in the bottom of the stuffing
box; cut on 45° angle
from top to bottom.
5. Pack
sealant tightly insuring there are no voids.
|
6. Add
StarPac until just enough space is available to install braided
top ring in the stuffing box.
7. Hand
tighten gland bolts, very snuggly, turn on pump and let it
run for 15 minutes.
8. if
any leakage should occur, gradually tighten gland bolts, one
flat at a time, until all leakage stops.
Do
not over tighten.
|
| In
Valves,
simply remove old packing, install bottom braid ring, add StarPac,
install top ring, snugly tighten follower nut. |
| Occsionally,
pump may require additional sealant. This can be done
by removing the gland follower and top braided ring and
adding more StarPac. |
| Even
more conveniently, use the Injection Gun
by connecting it to a button head or easy flow fitting
installed in the pump flush water port. Loosen the gland
follower nuts and inject StarPac until the stuffing box
is filled. The Button Head fitting contains a ball
check which will allow sealant to be added while the equipment
is running |
