Portable WaterJet Packing Extractor Unit
Gee Graphite’s Portable Water-Jet Packing Extractor unit is the practical solution for the efficient removal of valve stem / stuffing box packing.
Whether unpacking valves & pumps is part of your regular maintenance programme or an unscheduled necessary response to leakage failure, it is often a difficult or time consuming task.
Traditional methods of unpacking can often result in valve stem / stuffing box damage, leading to costly production down time losses.
The Gee Graphite high pressure Water-Jet based system operating at 18,000 psi ( 1225 bar ) provides safe, fast and economic removal of packing. The operation leaves the stuffing box / gland components totally clean and undamaged, using microbursts of focused high pressure water. This is particularly effective where asbestos is known to be present as the system eliminates hazardous airborne dust particles.
This equipment is designed for totally safe use by a single operator, and is so portable and efficient that the unpacking of 20 – 30 valve per day is not uncommon.
The savings in downtime and labour costs are therefore significant.
