Aramid Gland Packing (VM1)
Aramid Gland Packing (VM1)
- VM1 is a universal paper mill and sugar mill packing, made of a unique Aramidic composite fibre.
- This special fibre combines an exceptionally high tensile strength of 380,000 psi (27,000 kg/cm²), outstanding heat resistance, linked to low friction and excellent cool running properties.
- This is a strong thermoset fibre packing but it is also extremely soft, assisted by our exclusive, three-stage, lubrication process.
- The low friction factor reduces abrasion by up to a tenth compared to Aramidic fibres, giving high reliability and life, even in the most demanding of applications.
- VM1 is heat resistant and will not glaze, like usual paper mill and PTFE packing, even at high shaft speeds.
