The AMPS (Automatic Mechanical Packing System) unit automatically keeps a constant force on the braided packing rings at all times, so your essential piece of rotating equipment remains in service. This process, known as Active Loading, maintains a uniform and consistent load that eliminates the need for manual packing adjustments, maximizes performance, and increases packing life.
The AMPS System consists of two components that work together to automatically and efficiently seal braided packing in packed rotating equipment.
AMPS Unit:
Dual piston actuators
Attaches to existing stuffing box glands and bolts
Provides constant energizing force to packing rings
Control Unit:
Single-point adjustment of pressure regulator
Mounted remotely at a convenient and safe location
Powered by compressed air or bottled gases
Product Advantages
- Keeps leakage low
- Reduces maintenance
- Improves sealing performance
- Remote gland load management
- Increases operator safety
