Gland Guard

Gland Guard

The Gland Guard from 7D Team is a sealing solution engineered for harsh slurry-pump environments. It cuts gland flush water usage by approx. 70%, keeps slurry out of gland packing and extends seal and bearing life, ideal for mining operations aiming to reduce water use, maintenance stops and risk.

Improved bearing reliability and extended wear life.

In mineral-processing pump systems, the gland seal is often a hidden source of water waste, contamination risk and downtime. The Gland Guard addresses this by combining a specialist lip-seal, a hard Wolfram™ bush and integrated flush-reduction design, giving your site a smarter way to seal.

Includes:
  • Specialist lip-seal keeps slurry out of the packing chamber, even during shutdown or high-pressure exposure. 
  • Hard Wolfram™ replaceable bush minimises flush-flow and resists abrasion and corrosion.
  • Flush-flow reduction by approx. 70% compared to conventional gland arrangements delivering water savings and cost reduction.
  • Retrofit-friendly design compatible with legacy pump frames, enabling upgrade without a full system change-out.
Features and benefits

By installing the Gland Guard you can reduce water-use, limit contamination ingress, simplify maintenance and support your site’s safety and sustainability goals.

  • Substantial water-savings (≈ 70% reduction in gland flush) and lower associated costs.
  • Extended seal and bearing life due to better protection from slurry ingress.
  • Reduced risk of contamination entering gland packing and bearings improved system reliability.
  • Lower maintenance burden—fewer flush events, fewer seal replacements, less downtime.
  • Retrofit capable across many existing frames and brands. This allows you to upgrade without a full rebuild.
  • Supports sustainability goals through reduced water consumption and fewer failure related incidents.
