Merkel Arolan made from highly wear resistant aramide yarn has already proven itself in the most diverse applications. Especially where hardening, crystallizing or abrasive media can have a damaging effect on the packing. Arolan offers a long-lasting resistance. Proven application areas are refiners, material, juice and mud pumps, paddle dryers and agitators.
A strong adhesion of the PTFE to the smooth yarn is achieved by a special pre-treatment process.
PTFE optimizes the sliding properties and closes the creep paths in the braid, the adhesion of the yarn to each other is improved.
A physiologically harmless running-in lubricant supports the sealing effect at low gland packing tension.
Production advantages
- Very long service life, even with very abrasive media
- Easy handling
- Easy running properties
- Ideal for application with shaft deflection.
