Super Gold 858
858 can save time and money eliminating the need for lubrication and frequent packing
Lasts up to four times longer without lubrication! Developed specifically for use in plunger pumps, SuperGold 858 is a non-adjustable molded packing that does not require lubrication in most services.
SuperGold 858 is an improvement of the patented Utex J-design 838 packing. It delivers a longer life than 838 when not lubricated, tolerates higher temperatures and pressures, provides the same resistance to overtightening, and is as readily available in the marketplace.
SuperGold can save time and money in your plant by eliminating the need for lubrication and frequent packing replacement.
SuperGold 858 is made with a high temperature resistant nitrile and strong aramid fabric/modified elastoplast composite jacket. A special low-friction enhancement is compounded into the elastoplast binder to improve its performance without lubrication. The seal rings are typically backed up with hard, modified glass-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) adapters.
SuperGold J-Design 858 is available in three basic assembly configurations. The first has three pressure rings designed for use with packing lubrication. The second is for use in non-lubricated assemblies or in assemblies using an outside drip lubrication system and Utex recommends using fewer packing rings. The extra packing space should be filled with a metal bushing that can be supplied by Utex or the customer. In the third assembly, a single metal bushing may be used to replace a packing ring and a metal lantern ring. The replacement bushing is available from Utex or may be supplied by the customer.
