Merkel Gland Packing Flexalon 6250

Merkel Flexalon is a universal packing for the paper industry. But it is also suitable for the foodstuff industry, chemical and sewage treatment plants. Besides being used for rotary pumps, the packing can also be used in for mixers, kneaders, and refiners.

Merkel Flexalon is manufactured from a white , elastic synthetic yarn based on Meta Aramide. The packing thus offers a good resistance to abrasive media in contrast to PTFE products but in comparison to Para Aramide packing , Merkel Flexalon protects the shaft significantly more.

The leakage is minimized through a high density and flexible braid structure. The silicon-free running in lubricant ensures a trouble-free running-in. the white yarn and the impregnation prevents a color contamination of the medium.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Process Technology and Packaging in Freising has certified the packing for use in food processing machines as per FDA US 21  CFR 170.3 (i)  and Article 3 of EU regulation 1935/2004.
