Aramid Packing

Vulcan 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 380,000 psi (27,000 kgcm²), 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 to up to 110 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 & PTFE packing, even at high shaft speeds.
Type VM5 is a very similar product 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.
Type XXXX standard spool length is 8 metres. Custom lengths can be available - please contact us using the form.
Applications: Universal Paper-Mill, Sugar-Mill and demanding application packing, that is white non-staining, with excellent chemical resistance and is suitable for Kraft processes. Easy to cut and install, fast to break-in and with low susceptibility to adverse conditions, at installation or in-use.
