This is one of our more reliable products that seals shafts or stems of equipment that rotates or moves back and forth, such as pumps, valves, compressors, etc. We make it from braided or twisted fibers, including graphite, PTFE, cotton, and many more. It stops fluids or gases from leaking along the shaft or stems while allowing some movement.
Gland Packing
Gland packing is critical in preventing leaks in pumps, valves, and other industrial equipment. A robust compression seal ensures fluids and gases remain contained, allowing essential movement in shafts or stems. At Industrial Experts, we offer a range of high-quality gland packing products tailored to meet the unique demands of various industries and applications.

What Is Gland Packing?
Gland packing is a specialised sealing material used in equipment with rotating or reciprocating shafts, such as pumps, valves, and compressors. It consists of braided or twisted fibres like PTFE, graphite, cotton, or other durable materials. Compressed within a stuffing box, gland packing forms a reliable seal around the shaft, preventing leaks while allowing the shaft to move freely during operation.
Advantages of High-Quality Gland Packing
Investing in high-quality gland packing offers numerous benefits. Effective gland packing minimises fluid or gas leakage, improving safety and reducing environmental impact. Gland packing also helps to protect equipment from damage and extend its service life by preventing leaks and reducing friction. Reliable gland packing requires fewer adjustments and replacements, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. It also minimises leaks and ensures smooth operation, improving overall efficiency and productivity.
