Ballast pump Stuffing box bearing failure due to oil seal failing 😀🔧🛠️⚓🚢 | Master Engineer Fix

Ballast pump Stuffing box bearing failed due to a bad oil seal that led to the eventual leakage of the oil lubricating the bearing... and the next victim in that trend was the bearing due to lack of lubrication.😀🔧🛠️⚓🚢 It's amazing how this type of break downs happen especially when you just walk pass the machinery(oil level being ok) and then boom 😂 | Master Engineer Fix

Stuffing Box Leaking : Purpose of a Stuffing Box: A stuffing box is used to maintain or seal the pressure of fluid during unit operation. The pumping unit moves around the rod to pull whatever you are trying to access — such as oil — to the surface. The stuffing box helps maintain the correct pressure inside the unit during use. It prevents leakage around a piston, rod and other moving parts that work inside a cylinder or other vessel. Measure a Stuffing Box: You will want to measure your stuffi
