Main functions of oil wiper packing
Oil wiper packing is designed to seal the oil from the crankcase. By scraping away the excess oil generated along the piston rod by its back and forwards movements, the oil wiper rings prevent any accidental leakage outside the crankcase.
Highly reliable oil scraper rings :
- These components are essential to compressor efficiency, especially in the case of oil-free compressors where there should be absolutely no trace of oil.
- The oil wiper rings prevent any oil contaminating the cylinder.
- Reliable control of crankcase oil leaks is economically vital in view of the increasing price of oil. Care for the environment is also an important consideration.
Castanet can supply all types of oil scraper rings, but recommends its A40 type which provides efficient scraping properties owing to their specially designed drain-off profile.
