Manufacturing of Reactor Boiler Gland Packing

Manufacturing of Reactor Boiler Gland Packing

In industrial reactors and boilers, it is an important component for the safe and efficient operation of pressurized and high-temperature systems. This part prevents leakage of liquids or gases, ensuring smooth operation of reactors.

The gland packing must prevent the leakage of liquids and gases inside the reactor boiler, while also being resistant to vibrations and temperature changes. Manufacturing of reactor boiler gland packing should be done with high quality and durability, in compliance with industrial standards.

Manufacturing Process of Reactor Boiler Gland Packing

1. Design and Prototyping

• Engineering Drawing: The design of the packing is based on engineering calculations according to the intended use of the reactor boiler and pressure and temperature values.

• Prototype Production: Prototypes are produced based on the initial design and various tests are conducted. This stage determines the suitability and functionality of the design.

2. Selection of Raw Materials

• High-Strength Materials: Materials that can withstand high temperatures and pressures are used in the production of packing. Generally, materials such as stainless steel, elastomers, or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) are preferred.

• Sealing Elements: Sealing elements that exhibit chemical and thermal resistance suitable for the reactor's requirements are used.

3. Production Process

• CNC Machining and Cutting: The packing piece is processed with precision using CNC machines. This process ensures the accuracy of each dimension of the piece.

• Molding and Casting: If the piece is large-scale, it can be produced using molding and casting methods. This method provides high efficiency in mass production.

4. Assembly and Testing

• Assembly: The packing piece is assembled by bringing together all components. Ensuring that each component is correctly placed.

• Sealing and Functionality Test: The produced packing undergoes leakage tests after assembly. This test verifies the safe operation of the piece and the system.

5. Surface Treatment and Final Inspection

• Coating and Final Processes: Stainless steel or other materials may undergo coating processes to protect against corrosion. Additionally, the final quality controls of the piece are conducted.

Features of Reactor Boiler Gland Packing

1. High Durability:

   • Gland packing pieces are manufactured to withstand high pressure and temperature conditions. This feature ensures the safe operation of reactors and boilers.

2. Chemical Resistance:
