HERCULES® Stuffing Boxes The Hercules® Difference

Hercules stuffing boxes are recognized for superior quality and design unsurpassed in the industry. Hercules originated cone-style packing and it quickly became the industry standard. Now with the advent of DOME® packing, Hercules has introduced anew concept destined to become an even greater standard. Both cone and DOME® packing provide a tight seal without the excessive tightening

required for compression-type packing. Certain Hercules stuffing boxes have a unique misaligning feature that reduces the need for exact alignment with the pumping unit. The newer inverted cone and DOME® style packing automatically compensate for flow line pressures.

Today, Hercules continues to set standards for quality and dependability in the oil field with new packing designs, materials and the most extensive line of stuffing box models. No wonder production personnel think of Hercules first.

HERCULES® Stuffing Box Packing Cone & Chevron Packing

The most important feature of stuffing box packing is long-lasting performance. R&M Energy Systems continually tests new andbetter materials to meet the demands for ever-changing well conditions. Extensive field tests make certain new packing

stands up to stringent durability and performance standards. Cone packing is available in sizes for all polished rods 1" through 1-3/4" in sets of 4 (3 top cone and 1 bottom cone) and 5 (4 top cone and 1 bottom cone).

Split Cone Packing

Soft Cone Packing™

For sweet crudes with high oil-to-water ratios and low sand content.

Hard Cone Packing™

For sweet crudes with low oil-to-water ratios.

Slick Pack® (Compound S™)For reducing polished rod noise (“squeaking”) in noise-sensitive locations on crudes with high oil-to-water ratios and low sand content.

Special Lubricated™

For sweet crudes and wells without constant flow.

Heavy-Duty™

For prolonged service on sweet crudes and wells without constant flow.

PTFE Filled™

For sweet crudes and wells with long stroke and fast pumping cycles.

Slick Pack® with Teflon® Flakes (Compound ST™)For reducing polished rod noise (“squeaking”)in noise-sensitive locations on sweet crudes that pump off or have long stroke and fast pumping cycles.

Compound C™

For steam injection wells producing sweet crudes.

Compound D™

For steam injection wells where polished rod scoring is a concern.

Compound H™

For steam injection wells.

Compound G™*For H2S and CO2 wells.

Each downhole condition is different and must be addressed on a case-by-case basis to determine the best material solution for your particular well.
