ORIGINAL SITUATION HIGHLIGHTS
Site is using Positive Displacement (PD) pumps for pumping slurry.
- PD pumps are a critical slurry transport system
- PD pumps are used in an abrasive environment (slurry and temperature)
- Plugs and seat failing, cost to operation $1.6M/year
Why did they come to us?
- Required R&D facilities
- OEM lack of customer support
ENGINEERING ISSUES
- Short life span of components
- Huge cost of continuous change outs through OEM equipment replacement and lost production
ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
- Plug and seat overlay changed via complex material coating to double their service life
- Design, build and provide kits
- Fast exchange and repair service
TESTIMONIAL
"Our OEM product is normally changed out at 400 hours at the most and to date our trial seats and plugs have done 828 hours without a fault. Depending on their condition when they are checked again in three to four weeks, we may decide to continue operation with them, potentially tripling the time in service to the OEM product."
