Gland packing, also known as sealing cord, consists of braided fibre cords made from materials such as PTFE, aramid or graphite, with or without lubricant impregnation. It is used in the glands of centrifugal pumps, valves, agitators and other fittings to provide a dynamic seal around a moving shaft.
Construction: braided, cross-braided or square-braided. Square cross-section. The size is selected to suit the gland.
Materials: expanded graphite, up to +550°C in steam; graphite-filled PTFE, product 2810 for chemical applications; aramid fibre for abrasion; and PTFE-impregnated ramie for low-temperature water.
Main types of gland packing:
We manufacture moulded graphite rings from flexible graphite for sealing spindle and shaft glands in valves, fittings and pumps.
Selection by medium, motion and gland design:
Glands in pumps, valves, fittings, agitators and mills. Selection depends on the medium, type of motion and gland design.
Sealing manholes, chemical tanks and hatches.
Applications in the chemical, petrochemical, paper, dyeing and fertiliser industries.
Applications in power generation, mining, municipal services and the sugar industry.

Aramid is a fibre made from aromatic polyamides, with high tensile strength and resistance to high temperatures. In gland packing, it is used for abrasive media, including suspensions of sand and sewage. The packing catalogue lists aramid products 2710 and 2840. Selection depends on the medium, type of motion and gland design.
Depending on the material and parameters of the specific product code, gland packing is used in pump, valve and fitting glands and around shafts and spindles, among other applications. It must be matched to the medium and operating conditions.
Provide the medium, temperature, pressure, type of motion or shaft speed, and the required cross-section or gland dimensions. Selection is made for a specific product code because parameters vary between packing products.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Anbi-Tech as a reliable and professional partner in machining and in manufacturing parts for the pharmaceutical industry. This is the third company where I have had the pleasure of working with Anbi-Tech, and the cooperation has been of the highest standard every time.
The pharmaceutical industry is exceptionally demanding: precision, on-time delivery, material quality and a full understanding of the customer’s needs all matter. Anbi-Tech has repeatedly proved that it is very well suited to this environment. The company has manufactured change parts, spare parts, filling needles, conveyor screws, components for dispensing powders and liquids, and many other production components for us.
The quality of the parts deserves particular recognition, whether they are made from 316L and 304 stainless steel or plastics such as POM, polyurethane and polycarbonate. The components are manufactured to a very high standard, with close attention to accuracy and detail, which is crucial in our industry.
Anbi-Tech has literally ‘saved our skin’ on many occasions in emergencies where time, a rapid response and a flexible approach to the customer mattered. A major strength of the company is its modern machinery, which enables it to complete even highly demanding projects while maintaining the highest standard of workmanship.
The people are equally important: the company’s staff always show complete commitment and a willingness to cooperate and provide technical support. Their extensive experience, professionalism and collaborative approach to customers are clear to see.
In pharmaceuticals, the ‘paperwork’, meaning certificates, is also important. The certificates have never been questioned during customer or regulatory audits, for example by GIF.
I strongly recommend working with Anbi-Tech to any company looking for a proven, reliable and quality-focused technical partner.
Dariusz Stachowicz, Senior Maintenance Manager, Polfa Warszawa S.A.
We had a very good experience working with Anbi-Tech on a new production line project for a bottling plant. Using a bottle sample and components from the old line, its engineer prepared the design and documentation for new change parts in SolidWorks. Anbi-Tech then manufactured timing screws, star wheels, drive components, bottle orienters, bottle turners and feeding components, among other items.
A major advantage is the end-to-end approach, from analysis and design through to the manufacture of finished components. Their considerable technical experience, precision and ability to solve unusual problems are clear. I recommend them.
Bartłomiej Ć, Specialist, ORLEN
We work with Anbi-Tech to manufacture parts and technical components for our projects. We value them above all for their workmanship, on-time delivery and excellent communication. When requirements are unusual, they can advise us and find a solution instead of simply manufacturing a part from a drawing. A reliable partner that I am happy to recommend.
Marek P., Production Manager, Triccor
A reliable company with extensive experience! They manufacture parts from steel, aluminium and specialist plastics such as POM and PTFE. Every service, whether turning, milling or CNC cutting, is carried out perfectly and with attention to the smallest detail. Excellent communication, professional advice and consistently on-time delivery. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable components.

For a quotation, send a PDF or DXF drawing or a STEP model with dimensions. State the material, the number of pieces and the quality requirements. A photograph of the part alone, without dimensions, does not allow a reliable quotation to be prepared.
If the project combines several operations, we will agree the scope of machining, inspection, assembly and processes carried out by partners.
