Unpacking
valves and pumps is a messy and unpleasant task.
Removing
worn, dried out, carbonised and rock hard packing is time consuming,
particularly where the removal of injected sealing compounds is
concerned.
Then
there is the danger of scratches, nicks and gouges causing damage
to the valve stem or stuffing box. The whole labour intensive process
increases pressure on engineers striving to reduce downtime and
costs.
The
Geegraf extractor is the solution you've been waiting for. The
system uses micro bursts of a focused water jet at very high pressure
to remove valve stem packing, pump packing and flange gasketing
materials of all kinds. It is especially suited to use where asbestos
is known to be present as the hydration eliminates hazardous dust
particles.
The
equipment is designed for totally safe use by a single operator
and is so portable and effective that the unpacking of 30 valves
in a day is not uncommon. The savings in downtime and labour costs
can be significant. There is also peace of mind in knowing that
the process is entirely non destructive to valve and pump components,
leaving them in the optimum condition for resealing.
