Description
|
|
The Gland Follower is a hydraulic method of compressing gland packing on rotating shafts.
The Gland Packer can be split into two peices allow ing it to be placed on the shaft.
|
Method
|
|
Traditionally the gland packing was compressed by tightening nuts, which forced the gland follower into contact with the packing until the flow of “liquid” is reduced to the required rate. This involved working around a rotating shaft with its inherent Workplace Health & Safety issues.
The Hydraulic Gland follower allows the operator to adjust the compression of the sealant packing from a safe distance away from both the rotating shaft and any dangerous product they may be pumping, reducing the risk of workplace health & safety issues occurring.
