Aramid Gland Packing (VM5)
Aramid Gland Packing (VM5)
- VM5 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 (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 progress.
- The low-friction factor reduces abrasion to up to one tenth of Aramidic fibres, giving high reliability and life, even in the most demanding of applications.
- VM5 is heat resistant and will not glaze, like usual paper mill and PTFE packings,
even at high speed shafts. - Type VM5 is a very similar product to VM1 in more economical form.
- It will provide the same service but care must be taken not to over-tighten the gland nor starve the packing of product or flush lubrication.
