Advantages:

  • Improved Sealing: Enhanced sealing performance due to even pressure distribution
  • Reduced Wear: Lantern ring reduces wear on the packing and shaft
  • Increased Efficiency: Minimizes leakage and optimizes pump performance
  • Easier maintenance: Bearings can be replaced without disassembling the entire pump.
  • Easy Maintenance: Simplifies packing replacement and maintenance

Applications:

  • Centrifugal Pumps: Suitable for centrifugal pumps handling water, oil, and chemicals.
  • Reciprocating Pumps: Used in reciprocating pumps for oil, gas, and chemical applications.
  • Rotary Pumps: Applied in rotary pumps for handling viscous fluids.

GLAND PACKING WITH LANTERN RING – PTFE RING

Gland packing with a lantern ring is a type of pump gland used to prevent leakage in pumps.

Components:

  • Gland Body: Houses the packing and lantern ring.
  • Packing: Soft material (e.g., graphite, PTFE) used to seal the gap.
  • Lantern Ring: A ring that distributes pressure evenly and allows for lubrication.

Installation and Maintenance:

  • Proper Installation: Ensure gland body and lantern ring are installed correctly
  • Regular Inspection: Check packing and lantern ring for wear and damage
  • Packing Replacement: Replace packing material as needed
  • Lantern Ring Cleaning: Clean the lantern ring regularly to ensure proper lubrication
