Pump Packing
Packing comes in many sizes and material compositions to meet the requirements of the process equipment. We at Process Pump & Seal, Inc. carry all variations of A.W. Chesterton Company packing and keep many award winning cross sections and sizes in stock for quick delivery and in many cases, same day delivery for emergencies.
Pump packing is ideal for the controlled leakage required for certain applications. Chesterton offers extensive applications expertise in pump packing solutions for rotating equipment—including design, selection, installation, testing, and more. Our innovative and award-winning packing solutions reduce power requirements for the pump and result in less leakage—lowering the total life cycle costs of the pumping system.
Many of these solutions can also be coupled with other advanced technologies to drastically lower water usage and handle slurries with increased performance. Your regional Chesterton support staff is well-equipped to recommend the best solution for your operation's specific needs.

Combining Two Complementary Materials in One Packing
Chesterton's new DualPac® Technology combines the benefits of PTFE and Aramid fibers to create an entirely new level of packing reliability. Individually these fibers have their drawbacks, but together they offer advanced levels of performance:
- The low friction and high sealability of PTFE without the consolidation and extrusion
- The strength and resiliency of aramids without the shaft wear
- Fewer gland adjustments translates to longer life
- Innovative Packing Technology -
