SOOT BLOWER PACKING

WHAT IS EBOLON^™ 48-V SOOT BLOWER PACKING?
It is a composite of carbon/graphite and PTFE molded in V-Ring packing sets with male and female adapters, especially designed for the heat and stress in soot blowers used with saturated steam.

WHY A GRAPHITE/PTFE COMPOSITE?
Graphite has always been one of the best and most popular lubricants for mechanical packing. PTFE is increasingly popular for its low friction and sealing ability especially in soot blowers. Other PTFE composites are available.

EBOLON^™ 48-V SOOT SETS
Ebolon 48-V has proved itself in steam power plants in the U.S. and Canada for over 30 years.

REPLACED OTHER PACKING
Originally developed as an improvement on short-lived die-formed braided asbestos types as well as the more abrasive glass and ceramic composites.

Ebolon^™ 48-V retains its softness and sealing ability with steam pressure for long periods of time. It never age-hardens as many packings do under extreme conditions.

MOLDED
Ebolon^™ 48-V Soot Blower Packing is molded on a high tonnage hydraulic press with sophisticated controls which produces the high-density, low porosity and wear resistance required by the soot blower. The packing presents a smooth anti-frictional surface to the rotating lance, thereby extending its life.

UNIQUE ANGLE V-RING DESIGN
Chicago Gasket’s unique angle between the mating V-Rings promotes a spring action that spreads the lips to seat this self-energizing V-Packing. When additional V-Rings are required, they are simply added to the top of the set. For users accustomed to shallow slots at the base of each V-Ring, these can be provided upon request.
