Specialist Lubricants

We offer a diverse range of lubricants that are used in conjunction with packing, catering to various requirements and applications. Some of our notable lubricants include:

1. LUBALL: This lubricant is designed for general lubrication service and provides reliable performance across different applications.
2. NO. 2 LUBRICATING COMPOUND: Specifically formulated as a rotational packing-shaft lubricant, it serves a dual purpose as a release agent. It helps facilitate smooth operation while also ensuring easy release of packing materials.
3. START-UP™: This lubricant is specially designed as a run-in lubricant. It is applied to the packing surface before pump start-up, ensuring proper lubrication during the initial stages of operation.

Our range of lubricants is carefully developed to meet the specific needs of different packing applications. Whether it’s general lubrication, rotational packing-shaft lubrication, or lubrication during start-up, we have the right solution to optimize performance and extend the lifespan of the packing materials.

By offering a variety of lubricants, we aim to provide our customers with comprehensive options that contribute to the smooth operation and efficiency of their systems

Lantern Rings

A Lantern Ring is a perforated hollow ring situated near the center of the stuffing box in a pump, playing a vital role in ensuring the successful operation of pump systems. It serves multiple functions that contribute to the overall performance and protection of the system.

One of the primary functions of a Lantern Ring is to protect the stuffing box by allowing flush water or pressure to enter while keeping contaminants out. This helps maintain the integrity of the system by preventing any potential damage or disruption.

Lantern rings also act as outlets for cooling purposes. They provide an opening that allows for the circulation of cooling fluids in the stuffing box, preventing the system from being completely closed off. This helps regulate and dissipate excess heat, contributing to the efficient functioning of the pump.

Additionally, the lantern ring plays a crucial role in lubrication. The fluid entering the lantern ring acts as a lubricant for the packing, reducing friction against the shaft. This not only ensures smooth operation but also helps minimize wear and tear on machine parts, as well as the generation of excess heat within the system.

In summary, the lantern ring serves as a protective barrier, assists in cooling the system, and aids in lubrication, all of which are essential for maintaining the optimal performance and longevity of pump systems.
