Why Slade?

Minimizes or Virtually Eliminates Leakage!

Due to its patented construction of natural, expanded graphite yarns, Slade 3300G turns the stuffing box into a heat sink, conducting heat away from shaft, in many applications, eliminating expensive leakage previously needed to cool the stuffing box.

Can Be Operated Flush-Free in Most Applications

Slade 3300G conducts heat away from the shaft/sleeve, in most cases making flush unnecessary. If media has particulate contamination, a very mild flush should be all that is required.

No flush-water translates into:

• Exceptional savings, typically 1/2 cent per gallon, or $13,000 annually (U.S.) (based on 5 GPM flush system)
• No fear of flush-water system becoming plugged or experiencing loss of pressure

Reduces Inventory and Cost

• By eliminating die-formed rings (cut-rings work fine)
• Handles most medias, 1-14 pH, eliminating many styles of packing
• In many applications, no need to remove old packing, just add a ring
• Lasts 4 to 6 times longer than traditional pump packings

Worn Shafts and Sleeves Easily Sealed

Conforms to the geometry of the stuffing box and shaft.  Seals most worn sleeves.
