About Us

Lone Star Rubber Company was founded by Windel and Sherry Mayfield in 1979. Windel, a West Texas native, got his oilfield start on workover rigs. A graduate of Texas A&M, he has worked at Regal International, Oil States Rubber, and Gates Molded Products. Lone Star Rubber produces custom-designed and -manufactured rubber and plastic parts. In 1999 Windel and partners formed a separate entity, PAL Plungers, to produce a revolutionary new casing plunger. Derek Mayfield, son of Windel and Sherry, joined Lone Star in 2008. Derek is a 2001 graduate of Texas A&M.

CASING PLUNGER SEALING CUP

4½” 10.5# CASING

The Design

This high quality casing plunger sealing cup was designed to fit and perform well on a variety of plungers including most of the common tools having a 2 3/8” diameter body tube. These casing plungers are manufactured by Endurance Lift Solutions (formerly Multi Plunger Lift), Concoyle Oilfield Tools, and Swab-Rite Tool Corp, among others.

Field Tested

The rubber compound used in molding this cup was developed through years of evaluation in actual field tests on several different styles of casing plungers.

Extended Life

Cup life on these tools has proven to far exceed competitors’ cups. The extended life of the cup and its high quality compound formulation provide trouble free operation of the tool, yielding a reduced operating cost. A simple spacer change is all that is required to take advantage of this superior cup. Cup OD is designed to be used in 4 ½” 10.5# casing with other sizes available in the future.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Will your cups fit and work on a Swab-rite plunger?

Yes. Our cups work on Swab-rite, Jet Star (by Multi Products), and Concoyle plungers. Our cup has an insert length of one inch which requires a change in spacer length. We can give you the necessary length or we can furnish the spacer if you like.

I have a Concoyle plunger, is it heavy enough to use your cup?

Our cup has been used on many Concoyle plungers with no problems on descent.

Do your cups work as good as the original cups?

Most users report that our cups outlast the OEM cups by a significant amount. Cup life in all casing plunger wells is affected by casing condition, type of fluid being lifted, and amount of fluid lifted in each cycle.

“We have fabricated and produced concoyle tools for many years at our business. Due to the recent shortage of cups in our area, we reached out to Windel Mayfeild at Lonestar Rubber in Texas. Windel, a very fine gentleman, sent a few cups from his company and ever since then, we have purchased many cups and I recommend them very highly. We have put these cups in several of our wells on our concoyles and they have performed extremely well.”

"Lone Star Rubber makes the best longest lasting cups I have ever used."

"Windel Mayfield (Lone Star Rubber) was a great help and support for my small R&D company during the years we were involved in the design of a tool for swabbing stripper wells. His knowledge of rubber compounding and mold design proved itself with a product that out performed and out lasted what we received from our other vendors."
