Graphite packing is a widely used sealing material that prevents leakage in valves and pumps, making its replacement an essential maintenance task. Traditional methods of disassembling and assembling graphite packing in power plants often rely on needles and hooks, which work well for the initial layers but become increasingly difficult when dealing with the lower sections of the packing. This can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
To simplify the process, a specialized boxed packing tool from Japan has been developed. This set of tools makes it easier to carry, assemble, and disassemble graphite packing, and it's now popular among maintenance workers. The tool comes in different sizes, with three main components: the tissue parts, screws, and a crochet hook. The tissue parts are available in 8 mm, 10 mm, and 14 mm or larger sizes, while the screws match these dimensions. There are also two types of wrenches designed for different applications—some for 6–20 mm and others for 9 mm and above.
The flexible shaft screw, also known as the pull packing tool, is used in conjunction with the graphite packing tool. First, the screw (gas) wrench part is inserted into the flexible shaft and secured using the wrench. Then, by inserting the spiral-ended flexible shafts into two points radially around the graphite packing, the soft shaft handle is pulled to extract the packing efficiently. After each addition of a new layer of graphite packing, the process is repeated, ensuring a secure and tight seal.
This method not only improves efficiency but also reduces physical strain on the operator, making it a valuable addition to any maintenance toolkit. Whether you're working on a pump, valve, or other machinery, this Japanese-designed graphite packing tool offers a smarter and more effective solution for packing removal and installation.
