The FLUSH-GARD™ Sealing System from Garlock is an alternative to traditional packing sets in stock pumps, agitators, and other applications handling solid/liquid mixtures. It extends equipment life by protecting sleeve (non-contact) and packing from media attack, while also providing significant cost savings by reducing flush water consumption by up to 90%, as proven with installation of a flowmeter.
Harmful solids and particulate are contained from entering the stuffing box as the flush water is forced by the FLUSH-GARD™ bushings' unique design - integral tangential multi-porting - toward the pumped media, utilizing the shaft's rotation and centrifugal forces that are created. A small amount is allowed into the stuffing box to lubricate and cool the braided packing.

Garlock Strainer Gaskets can help protect standard flange connections that are located upstream from sensitive or costly processing equipment.
They remove particulate matter and debris from process fluids and can be deployed as a single filter or as a graduated system of several strainers that consume less space and at a lower cost than other methods, such as filtration cartridges.
“Customers can now look to Garlock for an affordable and simple way to add filtration to their process flow,” Garlock Senior Product Manager Chris Hicks said in a news release announcing the new Garlock strainer gaskets in August.
“The infinitely configurable nature of our strainer gaskets means we can help regardless of what your filtration needs are, or what the custom nature of your processing equipment is.”
