A 12-stage Mather and Platt pump refurbished in our workshop.
We are experienced in the repair and maintenance of industrial pumps
|
Our engineers are experienced in the repair and maintenance of industrial and marine pumps of all sizes and types. At some point during their life, industrial pumps will require servicing, repairing or in some cases replacing.
A breakdown can lead to the loss of production, with all the problems that entails. However help is on hand from our service centre, which is staffed by qualified engineers and equipped with sophisticated diagnostic equipment and test facilities. Our pump repair department can load test pumps to measure flow rate and pressure. We also check the performance of all sealing surfaces for leaks to ensure the repaired pump goes back to our customers for a high performance, problem-free life. All mechanical work, such as repairing worn seal positions on shafts or excessively worn wear rings inside pumps, is carried out by our in-house machinists, Westin Engineering. We also have the facility to balance pump impellers. You may be assured that every step of your repair is meticulously documented. to give you confidence that your equipment is ready for safe, reliable operation. Through Westin Pumps we are a distributor for Pompe Garbarino, a world leader in the construction of centrifugal and volumetric pumps for the naval and industrial sector. We are on call 24 hours a day to ensure that any downtime caused by a pump problem is minimised. The goal at Westin Drives is to have your business up and running as quickly and efficiently as possible. |

CASE STUDIES PUMP REPAIRS

STUDY 1
Challenge: This ship's seawater pump arrived in poor condition with the impeller unattached, above left.
Solution: The pump was dismantled and inspected, shot blasted and all parts cleaned. A protective coating was applied to the internals of the pump body. The impeller was also coated and new wear rings fitted and finally balanced to G2.5. New case rings and a new shaft were fitted, all parts manufactured in house by our sister company Westin Engineering. The pump was assembled with a new mechanical seal and gaskets and pressure tested to six bar before being painted ready for dispatch to the customer.

STUDY 2
Challenge: A seized pump, above left, came from a mine where it pumped a dilute acidic solution.
Solution: On inspection, the shaft and packing sleeve were found to be worn, the bearings seized and the pump frame corroded due to long term exposure to the solution it pumped. We manufactured a new shaft, gland packing sleeve and gland follower. A protective coating was applied to the pump frame and the impeller was balanced to G2.5. The pump was reassembled with new bearings, new gaskets and all new fasteners before it was painted and dispatched.

STUDY 3
Challenge: A ship's main seawater pump, above left, was sent to Westin Drives for a complete overhaul.
Solution: The pump was dismantled and assessed for damage. A coating was applied to the internals of the pump case to protect against wear. New case and wear rings were made and fitted, a bore was repaired and fitted with a new bronze bearing, far right, manufactured in house by Westin Engineering. The impeller was balanced to G2.5. We then fitted a new bearing, new mechanical seal and assembled the pump. It was pressure tested to four bar before being painted ready for dispatch.
