GFO Fiber Packing

GFO fiber packing is a superior compression pump packing that outlasts virtually any other packing it replaces.
GFO fiber packing is a superior compression pump packing that outlasts virtually any other packing it replaces. Dissipates frictional heat and runs cool, even after extended periods of continuous operation at shaft speeds to 4,300 fpm (21.8 m/s). Never gets hard or brittle. Easy to install and remove.

The real cost for any packing is its in-service cost. Because GFO fiber packing is so durable and lasts so long, its in-use cost is much lower. Since the packing itself represents only 3% of the total cost of repacking a pump, the real savings gained by a longer running pump is many times greater.

With exceptional chemical inertness, thermal conductivity, durability and a wide temperature operating range, GFO fiber packing can be used in many pumps - centrifugal, rotary, turbine and reciprocating. Also useful with valves, agitators, mixers, dryers and refiners, you will experience reduced downtime, small fluid losses, and lower total labor cost.
