2. Injectable Packing
Injectable packing is not a new concept, however Utex has developed a new means of containment that has revolutionized injectable packing. This new means of containment (patent pending) enables injectable packing to perform even better than before in most services, especially where abrasive particles are present in the pumpage.

several styles of UPAK to fit
most packed box applications

10. Injectable Packing
Although UPAK is available in bulk form, pre-packaged “sticks” of UPAK make loading the hydraulic injection gun simple.

11. Injectable Packing
The “Giant Button Head Fitting” and companion quick coupler are designed especially for the injection of highly viscous materials.

12. Injectable Packing
Pictured here with optional ball valve, the “Giant Button Head Fitting” contains a ball check, eliminating the need for an additional valve on most applications.

15. Typical Installation
When leakage does occur, no gland adjustment
is necessary. Simply inject more UPAK through
the port until leakage subsides. This can be done without stopping the pump.
UPAK will run leak free in most common applications for extended periods of time.

With ASF End Rings

19. Injectable Packing
The “ASF” ring is a molded seal ring similar to a “Vee” or “Chevron” type ring. The difference is that it is flat backed and doesn’t require a top adapter. These rings can be molded from a myriad of different compounds and can be of either homogeneous or composite construction.
In order to facilitate easy installation, we have devised a means of cutting the molded rings in an interlocking fashion that keeps the joint from separating during installation or during equipment operation. The result is superior anti-extrusion of the UPAK material and/or limited contamination of the UPAK from process liquid.

20. Installation with ASF Rings
The bottom ring is oriented toward the UPAK on most services but when the process contains abrasives, the bottom ring can be rotated to keep abrasives out of the UPAK.

Leakage can be controlled by adding UPAK without stopping the pump, thus preventing costly downtime.

25. Compression Packing vs. Injectable Packing
Requires break-in time
Must leak to lubricate
Must be adjusted regularly
Shutdown required to adjust
Causes severe shaft damage
Cannot seal on damaged shaft
Frequently requires replacement
Injectable Packing:
Requires no break-in time
Runs leak free
Easy & infrequent adjustment
Shutdown not required to adjust
Causes no shaft damage
Can seal on damaged shaft
Infrequently requires replacement
