10x8 inch Slurry Pump Stuffing Box G078HS1A05

Tobee® Hi-seal Stuffing Box G078HS1A05 is one of shaft seal parts for 10x8 F-AH Slurry Pump. And it is a packing assembly or a shaft seal that is used as a sealing device to prevent leakages of air or water or steam from rotating or sliding shaft. They are mostly used in the pump to prevent fluid leakage.

When it comes to centrifugal slurry pump maintenance, a stuffing box is the best option for time-sensitive issues that may arise. A stuffing box separates the non-rotating parts from those that rotate. It is a reliable option to hold your packing seals and shaft as well as keep your pumping system from leaking. And Tobee’s Stuffing box components are of D21 cast iron, A05 high chrome, stainless steel, brass or other application-specific materials.

10X8 F-AH Slurry Pump Parts Stuffing Box Design:

When centrifugal pumps were developed there was a need to prevent the pumpage from pouring out thru the open clearance between the pump casing back and the rotating shaft, which turns the impeller.  This was accomplished by stuffing rope like material, called packing, into a cylindrical opening in the rear of the casing where the shaft passes through it.  Packing is usually 1/4”, 3/8”, or 1/2” square cross sectional, the size to match the annular section between the shaft OD and the stuffing box ID.  It comes in coils, and is cut to fit around the shaft OD. It is a soft material and usually has a lubricant in it. The opening, the stuffing box, has a shoulder at the bottom or “throat” (inboard end closest to impeller) and is fitted with a follower, called the gland, on the outboard end, which compresses the packing into the inner sides of the stuffing box against the shoulder in the bottom of the box, and against the rotating pump shaft. This effectively limits the leakage out of the pump.  It will not completely prevent leakage.  A small amount of pumpage must leak out of the pump in order to cool and lubricate the packing.
