Why Traditional Packings Fail
How a Stuffing Box Should Look When Completely Packed Using Traditional Packings
How a Stuffing Box Looks After Several Gland Adjustments Using Traditional Packings
Traditional packings are mostly fiber with added lubricants that can be squeezed, cooked or washed out, resulting in out-of position lantern rings, over-compressed packing and sleeve wear.
Slade Packed Centrifugal Pumps: Typical Stuffing Box VERSES Slade Packed Stuffing Box
Typical Stuffing Box: A typical stuffing box requires leakage and/or flush-water to dissipate heat, creating costly housekeeping problems, loss of product and/or loss of flush-water. Additional rings cannot be added without affecting position of lantern ring.
Slade Packed Stuffing Box: In most applications, a Slade packed stuffing box can be run without flush-water and/or with virtually no leakage. In many applications, both No-Flush & No-Leak are possible! Additional rings can be added as needed.
Flush-Free & Virtual Leak-Free Service

Seals Rotating Equipment
Whereas most pump packings are largely abrasive fibers with added lubricants that can be squeezed, washed or cooked out, Slade 3300G utilizes the self-lubricating qualities of the very best natural, exfoliated graphite.
Incorporating just enough temperature and chemical resistant ‘carbon fiber’ to make very high tensile strength yarns, Slade’s patented technology allows the braided packing rings to transfer frictional heat away from high speed shaft sleeves, eliminating the need, in most cases, for cooling water.
Since cooling or flushing is not typically required, there is no need for lantern rings. This eliminates the concern of the lantern rings being adjusted out of position, flush water ports becoming plugged, or sleeve wear caused by the corrosive nature of highly oxygenated water on hardened sleeves.

3300G – Slade’s Best All Purpose Pump and Valve Packing
Reinforcement: Corners and yarns of graphite foil reinforced with high strength structural carbon fiber
Temp: Mild Oxidizers to 1800°F/1000°C (for temperatures over 1000°F/540°C, consult the factory)
Pressures: Valves to 5000 PSI/350 BAR without end-rings
Pumps: Flush-free in many services to 4800 FPM (1400 m/min)
pH Range:
1-14
Applications: Chemicals, steam, hydrocarbons, etc.
Advantages:
One packing inventory for all pumps and valves
Works well on worn sleeves
Difficult to overtighten
No added lubricants to squeeze out or burn off
Eliminates flush-water in most applications
Not necessary to replace entire set, just add ring
Won’t glaze or harden
Eliminates most leaks
Amperage reduction of 15% is typical
No special end-rings required
Outlasts typical packings by factor of 6
4800 fpm/24 ms (without flush water)
pH 1-14
Operates virtually leak-free in most applications
Low chloride/sulfur available for nuclear service
Installation:
Check clearances and dimensions
Best to use no more than 5 rings in stuffing box (use Slade spacer bushings to reduce rings)
Cut rings on the bias (45° angle), stagger joints
Compress each sealing ring at least 25% (especially the first ring). Do not compress spacer bushings.
Loosen gland to allow it to relax
Snug the gland bolts and start the pump
3300GLC: Low chloride for nuclear service
3300GLS: Low sulfur for nuclear service
Advantages
Minimizes or Virtually Eliminates Leakage!
Due to its patented construction of natural, expanded graphite yarns, Slade 3300G turns the stuffing box into a heat sink, conducting heat away from shaft, in many applications, eliminating expensive leakage previously needed to cool the stuffing box.
Can Be Operated Flush-Free in Most Applications
Slade 3300G conducts heat away from the shaft/sleeve, in most cases making flush unnecessary. If media has particulate contamination, a very mild flush should be all that is required.
No flush-water translates into:
Exceptional savings, typically 1/2 cent per gallon, or $13,000 annually (U.S.) (based on 5 GPM flush system)
No fear of flush-water system becoming plugged or experiencing loss of pressure
Reduces Inventory and Cost
By eliminating die-formed rings (cut-rings work fine)
Handles most medias, 1-14 pH, eliminating many styles of packing
In many applications, no need to remove old packing, just add a ring
Lasts 4 to 6 times longer than traditional pump packings
Worn Shafts and Sleeves Easily Sealed
Conforms to the geometry of the stuffing box and shaft. Seals most worn sleeves.
