Improve Pump Reliability and Efficiency Lower your TCO
Most industrial centrifugal pumps carry a high capital equipment value. So when they fail, it’s a significant problem. Fortunately, many pump problems are easy to correct – and even prevent – with an effective maintenance program.
Pump Failure Causes THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR PUMP FAILURE, BUT SOME OF THE MOST COMMON ARE: Misalignment - Loosening of pump base mounting bolts results in vibration that can cause bearing failure
Prevent fretting corrosion while securing bearings with LOCTITE 638 Retaining Compound
Prevent key wallow with LOCTITE 243 Medium Strength Threadlocker Repair key wallow with LOCTITE 660 Retaining Compound
Prevent rust and seizure of power end bolts with LOCTITE LB 8023 Marine Grade Anti-Seize
Leaks - Gaps and surface irregularities in threaded pump assemblies and flanges can lead to leaks that diminish pump performance Wear - Damage to surfaces & common parts due to abrasion, erosion or chemical attack
Pump Maintenance is Key
Prevent set screws from working loose with LOCTITE 222 Threadlocker or LOCTITE 243 Threadlocker (depending on fastener size)
WITH THEIR HIGH COST TO MAINTAIN - AND EVEN HIGHER COST FOR FAILURE - A GOOD PUMP MAINTENANCE PLAN IS KEY TO: Extend useful pump life Maintaining pump efficiency Improving pump reliability
WORKING ALONGSIDE ERIKS AND LOCTITE WE CAN HELP YOU: Increase pump reliability
Lock and seal housing bolts to prevent leakage between oils seals and housing with LOCTITE 243 Medium Strength Threadlocker or LOCTITE 248 Medium Strength Threadlocker Stick
Increase pump efficiency Prevent common failure modes Extend service intervals
Seal threaded fittings with LOCTITE 572 Thread Sealants
Extend mean time between failure Lower your overall maintenance costs by protecting your capital investments
