Gland Guard

The Gland Guard is a sealing solution engineered for harsh slurry pump environments. It reduces gland flush water usage by up to 70%, keeps slurry out of the gland packing, and extends both seal and bearing life — making it ideal for mining operations looking to cut water consumption, reduce maintenance downtime, and minimise 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.

How it works:
  • 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.
