•  WHAT IS COMPRESSION SET?
"Compression set” is property of the material and hence the yarn and that of gland packing by which it refuses to recover back to its original shape after the applied pressure / force is removed. All materials and the packings made from it suffer from “compression set”. Compression set is the culprit that prevents the pressure transfer from one packing ring to another, inside the stuffing box. Almost all gland packings on offer in the market irrespective of what material of construction, country of origin, brand; all suffer with compression set and hence badly scores the sleeves and cause excessive friction to the shaft movement.

•  WHY REINFORCEMENT IS REQUIRED?
Reinforcement in of yarn with help of a unique process (that results in a unique shape in braided packing) creates property of recuperation in the yarn. This recuperation as against the compression set is the key quality imparted to yarn by Stoplik researchers after a decade of R. & D.

•  WHAT IS RECUPERATION? WHY IS IT REQUIRED?
Recuperation is the key to success of our innovative gland packings. Its due to recuperation in the gland packing that our packings allow an efficient pressure transfer from gland follower to the last ring next to neck bushing in the stuffing box. Thus whole labyrinth participates in leakage prevention and excessive tightening of gland follower in not necessary. This way the local scoring near the gland follower end is effectively arrested.

•  SUITABILITY FOR HIGH PRESSURE AUTO CLAVE APPLICATION?
Stoplik gland packing are not only very suitable for high pressure auto clave application but our packing are rendering exemplary service in field spread all across India . Please refer to our “expert advice” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM VACUUM?
Since whole labyrinth participates in leakage prevention and all the packing rings remain in contact with the shaft all around (due to reactive forces brought about by recuperation property of the Stoplik Gland Packing) hence blocking any leakage of vacuum. Please refer to our “expert advice” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  HARSH SLURRY APPLICATION?
Stoplik Gland packing are functioning excellently in harsh slurry applications be it slurry in ash handling plants of Thermal Power Projects or the slurry pumps in aluminum, steel, cement, paper, chemical industry. Please refer to our “expert advice” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  SOLUTIONS FOR SCORED SHAFT/SLEEVE?
While the score sleeves and shafts must be replaced with mirror finished new sleeves immediately in practice there are situation where a shut down is not possible. In such circumstances Stoplik Insitu mold comes very handy. When sandwiched over the scored area, insitu mold make a ring in the shape of the contour of the sleeve and hence blocking any scope for leakage. Please refer to our “expert advice” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  PRODUCT FOR SOLVENT PUMPS/REACTORS?
We have the right product for Solvent Pumps and Reactors. Umpteen numbers are running smoothly with Stoplik Gland Packings. Please refer to our “expert advice” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  SUITABILITY FOR HIGHLY ACIDIC OR HIGHLY ALKALINE APPLICATION?
We have the right product for Solvent Pumps and Reactors. Umpteen numbers are running smoothly with Stoplik Gland Packings. Please refer to our “expert advice” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  HARDENING AND GLAZING?
We at Stoplik have taken numerous measures to prevent the hardening and glazing of the gland packing, generally Stoplik packing do not suffer from it. However if there is a case of chronic hardening and glazing Stoplik would be very much interested to resolve such problem and you are requested to refer to our “expert advise” page on this website and fill-up the equipment profile giving details of your application and you will receive a comprehensive proposal from us for it.

•  ADDITING OF GLAND PACKING RINGS AND TIGHTENING OF GLANDS.
This is the common practice and regular feature with conventional compression packing. Since the packing rings suffer from compression set the total volume gets reduced requiring additional packing ring or tightening to fill the gap. Once the sleeve gets scored it crates its own additional volume to be filled. More scoring develops sharp edges on the sleeve that cut and spoils the packing ring requiring frequent replacement and tightening. The solution to over come this vicious cycle for ever is to go for Stoplik Gland Packing.

•  PRODUCT TO REDUCE INVENTORY OF DIFFERENT SIZES?
Insitu mold Packings of Stoplik are supplied in standard sized stick form. These can be used for shaft / sleeves of any size, being moldable packing of interlocked fibers.

•  TECHNO ECONOMIC COMPATIBILITY COMPARISON WITH CONVENTIONAL PACKINGS?
We always encourage users of our packing to carry out a techno – economic comparison of our Stoplik Gland Packing with that of cheaper conventional packings available in the market.

It's our firm belief that our packing within its service on the equipment of the user, must not only pay for itself but also generate such substantial savings that its superiority becomes evident and benefits of its application evident.

We our self carry out such studies if users expresses such a requirement
