 |
FLUSH-GARD™ bushing: Standard material Carbon graphite-filled PTFE | |
| Optional materials: | ||
|
Stainless Steel 304SS, 316SS & 17-4PH SS Bearing Bronze and Aluminum Bronze Alloy 954 | |
Benefits |
||
|
Extends equipment life by protecting sleeve (non contact) and isolates packing from media attack. | |
|
Significant cost savings: | |
| › | Reduces flush water requirements as much as 70-90% (as demonstrated with the installation of a Thomson ESF Flowmeter) | |
| › | Eliminates packing extruded into the process. | |
| › | Reduces number of packing rings and includes integral lantern ring – never lose lantern ring position again! | |
|
Controls the stuffing
box environment: Harmful solids & particulate are contained from entering the stuffing box as the flush water is forced by the FLUSH-GARD™ bushings’ unique design –(integral tangential multi-porting) toward the pumped media utilizing the shaft’s rotation & centrifugal forces that are created; allows small amount to lubricate the compression packing. |
|
|
Axially Split design installs quickly, easily retrofitted into existing stuffing boxes typically with no equipment modification required. | |
