When it comes to packing out spaces during construction , there are times when it is essential to maximise the ‘ fill ’ so as to minimise stress especially when dealing with high loads . In this case a solid component of uniform cross-section and no voids is indispensible . Equally , there are times when a flexible component is desirable when those spaces are of irregular shape .
Often , a packer is not required to carry heavy loads , in which case its density and composition is
|
less important . Indeed , a packer of softer material to provide a cushioning effect between components may be desirable .
Stadon Level offers different types of packers for various applications :
• Solid rigid packers for high load bearing ;
• Solid flexible packers for everything else ;
• Hanging packers for vertical alignments ;
• Wedge packers for adjustability .
