The Next Evolution for Packed Stuffing Boxes on Older, Horizontal, Hydro Units.
Does this picture look familiar?
If your utility operates Older Hydro Power Plants, then you are familiar with these 100+ year old units that continue to operate. We have been in many plants, and we wish to talk about a better way to solve short Packing life. These shafts tend to wobble excessively, the bearings do not last because of shaft run out, and the Packing in the Stuff Box has to be replaced frequently. This takes time and money.

Absolutely fascinating topic - diving deep into engineering and sustainability in one swoop! ???? As Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Water is the driving force of all nature." Your work with hydro power and efforts towards seal water reduction remind us of the importance of innovative solutions in preserving our natural resources. Speaking of nature, we're excited to share an upcoming sponsorship opportunity for the Guinness World Record of Tree Planting, which aligns perfectly with sustainability efforts.
