It sounds backwards to me too. Maybe it's "arbres, presse-étoupe" as in shafts and seals...
Bourth (X) Sep 18, 2010:
Appears to be backwards Shafts on pumps and valves need seals. Seals don't need shafts.
Presses-étoupe des arbres makes more sense and corresponds to the answers below, so far.

However, what is being repaired, the seal or the shaft? Maybe it should read arbres à presse-étoupe.

The key
factor which influenced the mechanical arrangement, apart from the
horizontal split casing, was the need to have a packed gland shaft seal.
With the requirement to ensure a practical gap between the gland seal,
which leaks under normal operation, and the bearing housing resultant
shaft between bearings span was high.
