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.
