Training Kits
Our packing training kits give maintenance teams the chance to practice with the same tools and techniques used in real-world applications. Each kit is designed to teach the fundamentals of cutting, tamping, and installing packing rings in pumps and valves, ensuring that every step of the process is done correctly and consistently.
By working hands-on with the kits, technicians gain the confidence and accuracy needed to reduce leaks at start-up, extend packing life, and improve overall equipment reliability. These kits are especially valuable for on-site training sessions, apprentice programs, and refresher courses for experienced staff who want to sharpen their skills.
With Progressive Sealing’s training kits, your team learns how to do the job right the first time — saving time, lowering maintenance costs, and boosting long-term performance.
Mandrel Packing Cutting System
The Mandrel Packing Cutting System delivers precise, repeatable cuts for packing rings every time. Properly cut packing is critical for achieving a tight seal, reducing leaks, and extending the life of the equipment. By ensuring clean, square cuts, this system eliminates guesswork and helps mechanics avoid uneven joints that can lead to premature failure.
Designed for maintenance shops and field crews that demand consistency, the mandrel system makes it easier to standardize best practices across teams. The result is faster, more accurate installations, reduced maintenance downtime, and improved reliability in both pump and valve applications.
