Machining a Mechanical Seal

The volume of liquid flowing through a centrifugal pump can drop for several reasons. One common cause is a decrease in the system’s demand for liquid. If the system does not require as much liquid as the pump is capable of producing, the flow rate will decrease and the volume will drop.  Another cause of…

Pump repair and maintenance are essential for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of pumps in various industries. While the cost of pump repair and maintenance can vary based on factors such as the type of pump, the severity of the issue, and the location of the repair technician, it is important for businesses to…

Mechanical seals are a vital component in the design of pumps and are widely used to prevent leaks at the interface between the rotating shaft and stationary housing. Despite the advances in materials and designs, mechanical seals still fail in pumps. The failure of mechanical seals in pumps can be caused by a range of…

Performing periodic maintenance on a centrifugal pump is important to ensure its continued operation and longevity. Here are the steps for performing basic maintenance on a centrifugal pump:  Clean the pump: Cleaning the pump and its surrounding area can help prevent contamination from entering the pump and causing damage. Use a soft brush and mild…

We see all sorts of industrial equipment in our workshop. Pumps, blowers, mechanical seals, and so much more. Here’s a few videos of our technicians in action: Booster Vacuum Pump Refurbishing: Take a look at how this booster vacuum pump looked when it first arrived at our facility in Stoney Creek. Precision Machining on an…

Preventive maintenance of a slurry pump is crucial to ensure its reliability and longevity. Slurry pumps are designed to handle abrasive and corrosive fluids that can cause damage to the pump’s internal components over time. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent premature wear and tear, reduce the risk of pump failure, and extend the…
