Why should I use Steel Injection Packers?

Understanding the Advantages of Steel Injection Packers

SealBoss® Steel Injection Packers deliver superior performance in high-pressure injection applications. These mechanically engineered packers are designed to endure considerable force, making them ideal for demanding crack injection scenarios where high injection pressures are needed and reliability is paramount.

As the threaded shaft of the packer is adjusted, the rubber base experiences compression, resulting in a robust seal within the drilled hole. Owing to the exceptional strength of steel, these packers can withstand greater tightening forces. This capability enhances the friction between the expanded rubber sleeve and the concrete substrate, ensuring a secure seal.

Decoding the Concept: Port to Port Travel of Resin

The term ‘Port to Port Travel of Resin’ refers to the observable movement of the injected product from its point of origin to the subsequent packer. The SealBoss steel injection packer is designed with a removable fitting that enables the user to monitor this progression, ensuring precise and controlled application of the injection material.

Clarifying Standard Zerk Fittings versus Low Pressure Zerk Fittings

You may be familiar with standard zerk fittings, but what about low pressure zerk fittings? These specialized fittings are engineered for applications where the injection pressures are limited by the dispensing or pumping unit. A unique feature of these fittings is the presence of an anti-return ball valve devoid of a spring. This design minimizes the pressure required to open the valve, allowing the injection material to enter the packer with negligible resistance.

It’s noteworthy that SealBoss HOT SHOT Cartridges are compatible with Steel Injection Packers that are equipped with Low Pressure Zerk Fittings. For a more detailed understanding, refer to this informative video that demonstrates the use of the adapter.

Switching from Zerk Fitting to Button Head Fitting

SealBoss S-Type steel packers offer the flexibility to switch from zerk fitting to button head fitting, allowing usage with slide couplers. This versatile feature enables the use of both styles on the job site without necessitating different packer styles. Packers can be ordered with either fitting, based on the specific requirements of the project.

Each fitting incorporates an anti-return ball valve that opens under pressure, facilitating the flow of chemical grouts. Once the pressure is relieved, the ball valve closes, effectively preventing the backflow of the injection resin out of the drilled hole.

This durability is especially beneficial in high-pressure injection tasks. Regardless of the injection grout used, the SealBoss packers can withstand the pressure, maintaining their structural integrity and preventing failure. This ability leads to a more successful application of sealants and grouts, prolonging the lifespan of the structure being repaired.

Versatility

The versatility of SealBoss’s steel injection packers cannot be overstated. These devices are applicable to a wide range of sealing tasks, including cracks in concrete structures and natural structures.

Moreover, their universal design allows them to accommodate different diameters and lengths, making them suitable for both small and large-scale projects. Whether you’re dealing with a minor crack in a residential structure or extensive damage in a commercial building, you can count on SealBoss’s steel injection packers to deliver.

Cost-Effectiveness

While SealBoss’s steel injection packers might initially seem like a more substantial investment compared to their plastic counterparts, they provide a level of cost-effectiveness that’s hard to match. Their durability reduces injection failures, including blow-outs and leakage, meaning less downtime and more efficient work processes.

Ease of Use

With their simple installation process, SealBoss’s steel injection packers allow for precision in injecting grouting, ensuring the material reaches the target area effectively.

The packers are designed for easy insertion into pre-drilled holes and can be firmly secured to prevent movement and leakage during the injection process. 

Conclusion

The steel injection packers by SealBoss provide a reliable solution for a multitude of structural repair and waterproofing tasks.
