A.W. Chesterton Company – EU
There are numerous pumps in waterworks or sewage treatment plants in all industrial sectors. Pumps are involved wherever drinking water, process water and wastewater need to be moved; many of these pumps run continuously. No municipal or industrial water treatment plant can afford frequent, time-consuming pump shut-downs. Chesterton offers packing solutions for rotating equipment in […]
Braids have different requirements and their materials are selected to meet these requirements. These materials all have advantages and disadvantages. In standard rotary equipment braids, these disadvantages must be taken for granted. Chesterton DualPac™ is an innovative and patented compression braid design that combines the best properties of different materials so that their beneficial properties […]
Braid seals require leakage of the braid to ensure cooling and lubrication of the braid. However, more than often … leakage is excessive … to the extreme… DualPac™ braid: lasts longer less wear on shaft sleeves reduces maintenance reduces leakage saves you money More on the video
Chesterton DualPac 2212 is created using our patented DualPac Technology, which combines a burn-resistant material on the packing’s shaft side with a highly resilient outer fiber.
By inventing a new braiding process, Chesterton has successfully combined ePTFE and aramid fibres in a unique configuration, allowing low-friction fibres to seal the shaft and resilient fibres to provide strength and anti-extrusion benefits. Combined in this way DualPac 2211 provides all of the performance advantages of ePTFE and aramid without the compromises of traditional mixed fibre packing.
Paper and pulp production is an extremely demanding industry. It is a long way from the processing of raw wood to the production of fine writing paper. In many manufacturing steps, the abrasive raw material is processed with hot water and chemicals. This means that all machine components need to be highly resistant to wear, […]
Introduction of Chesterton’s high-performance solution for compression packing at hydropower stations – the Hydroshield technology
Slurry pumps are integral to many mining operations, but their maintenance, particularly the replacement of seals, can be challenging. The abrasive nature of slurries can wear down packing or clog mechanical seal components, reducing seal life to mere weeks or even days. With downtime proving costly, choosing an efficient and easily replaceable sealing solution is […]
Chesterton has launched its revolutionary new DualPac® 2212 pump seal. Dualpac® is a unique braiding technology invented and patented by Chesterton that allows the braid manufacturer, for the first time in history, to give the dynamic side of the braid the ideal properties for a dynamic seal, and the static side of the braid the […]
