Why the PackRyt® BLR Is the Smartest Sealing System for Pumps and Rotating Equipment

June 27, 2025
Peter Chilton - Marketing Manager

In high-performance industrial environments, traditional packing setups, lantern rings, and even mechanical seals are starting to show their age. These systems were designed for a different era, where downtime was tolerated and water waste was less of a concern.

But today, with tighter margins and stricter sustainability goals, the old way isn’t cutting it anymore.

A Better Way to Seal: PackRyt® BLR

The PackRyt® BLR system is a patented sealing solution that meets the demands of modern operations. It integrates three essential components into one seamless unit:

  1. A bearing for shaft support and alignment
  2. A flush channel for improved lubrication and cooling
  3. High-performance mechanical packing to reduce leakage


The result? A complete sealing system that outperforms conventional configurations, all while saving you time, water, and maintenance effort.

What Makes the PackRyt® BLR Different?

  • Increased Sealing Reliability: By keeping the shaft centered and stable with the built-in bearing, the BLR system minimizes vibration and misalignment. This addresses two of the most common causes of premature packing failure.
  • Reduced Leakage and Water Waste: Thanks to improved concentricity and efficient flush delivery, the BLR system helps reduce water consumption and keeps product loss to a minimum.
  • Longer Packing Life: Because the shaft stays aligned and the packing is supported evenly, friction is reduced. That means your packing lasts longer and performs better even in tough applications.
  • Simplified Installation and Maintenance: Instead of sourcing multiple components, aligning parts, and troubleshooting compatibility, the BLR system is engineered as a single unit. It’s faster to install and easier to maintain, reducing labor costs and downtime.

Built for Demanding Applications

Whether you're working with pumps, agitators, mixers, or other rotating equipment, the PackRyt® BLR is designed to deliver durability and performance across a wide range of industries and fluids.

It's especially effective in systems that suffer from:

  • Frequent packing blowout
  • Shaft scoring and vibration
  • High water consumption
  • Excessive maintenance time

Why Shaft Concentricity Matters

When a shaft wobbles or drifts off-center (even slightly), it puts uneven pressure on packing material. This creates gaps, increases wear, and leads to early failure. The BLR's integrated bearing ensures shaft concentricity, which protects your equipment and enhances the overall sealing performance.
