Z-PAC : Revolutionary Ageless Universal Sealant for Pumps

Z-PAC is a non asbestos, universal pump packing, which has unlimited shelf-life. It has a malleable (Putty Like) consistency and is made from a carefully controlled blend of high tech synthetic fibers and specially formulated lubricants and greases.

 

 

Where is Z-PAC Used :

Z-PAC is used in all types of rotary pumps irrespective of chemicals it handle. Depending upon equipment and the type of Z-PAC selected, it can withstand applications up to 3650 rpm, 425° C pH 0-14, pressures up to 14 Kg/Cm2 to 32 Kg/Cm2  on pumps. In this pressure range, there is a 25% safety factor.

Chemical Compatibility:

Compatibility may be ascertained matching the pH of media to the pH capability of the Z-PAC as mentioned. We always recommend a 24 hour 'SOAK TEST' for critical applications.

 

 

Installation Procedure

  1. Remove old packing and latern ring (Latern Ring not needed)

  2. Inspect and clean shaft and gland.

  3. Shut off seal water and any lubrication inlet.

  4. Install bottom packing ring.

  5. Pack tightly with Z-PAC.

  6. Tighten gland bolts as tight as possible to pressurize and cause seepage of Z-PAC lubricant. DO NOT remove seepage.

  7. Remove gland follower and install top packing ring. Replace gland and tighten bolts until just finger tight.

  8. Run pump for 15-20 minutes. Tighten gland bolts to achieve minimal or Zero leakage. Z-PAC will only require occasional topping up.
