PACKING: Packing life usually is increased by proper lubrication. An optional force feed lubricator assembly is recommended for pumps on continuous duty. This provides a steady supply of lubricant to lower friction and heat. Proper lubricator application aids the dissolving of salt to help prevent build up on the plungers in produced water applications.
