A star player in many processes and systems, heat exchangers are critical in achieving desired temperature regulation. Understanding heat exchangers, with their various types and applications where they excel, is necessary for those working in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and energy. This article takes a closer look and provides valuable insight into the interesting […]
In many industrial sectors, vacuum pumps are doing yeoman’s work. Often running for several hours per day in some applications and even non-stop for multiple work shifts per day. Vacuum pumps being in operation means several maintenance related issues inevitably will crop up. If the user is not proactive in treating these issues the vacuum […]
Pictured is a ANSI pump assembly that an automotive supplier brought in due to a leaking seal. Luckily in this case, there were no major parts needed. A standard overhaul was done on the pump. All the common wear items, including new ball bearings (pump and motor), mechanical seal, gaskets, O-rings, a coupling insert were […]
An engineered coating manufacturer needed their Kerr 5500 Series Vertical Process Pump repaired. As seen in the pictures below, excessive scale buildup inside and outside of the pump’s wet end caused the pump to seize or completely lock up. The shaft unfortunately needed to be replaced due to wear in critical areas. After replacing the […]
A chemical manufacturer’s Kinney (Tuthill) 2-stage liquid ring vacuum pump’s seals were leaking prematurely due to hard water correlated issues at their facility. After exploring some different options with the customer to extend seal life, they opted for us to rebuild the pump to factory specifications. We replaced the wear parts (seals and bearings) and […]
A sign and banner manufacturer wanted their Travaini liquid ring vacuum pump system they purchased on Ebay overhauled. The system features a single stage, oil lubricated liquid ring pump that is used to pull vacuum through a router table to secure material for various projects. The number of usage hours on the system had reached […]
We have built a few of these carts over the years for a local Chemical manufacturer, this one that we just shipped out was no different. The pump assembly is used to transfer and recirculate an Aluminum / Solvent Slurry through a mill to reduce particle size. This pump was built on a cart so […]
We recently built two custom pump carts for a local customer that manufacturers cleaning and sanitation chemicals. They wanted to minimize the amount of pumps needed and create a flexible solution for transferring chemicals from totes to a mixing tank to be blended for their customer’s specific needs. The pump carts needed to have a […]
We recently had a customer that needed to build a temperature control skid that used a Dean pump to pump Therminol out of a storage tank and send it though a heating or cooling heat exchanger to control the temperature of the oil by the uses of control valves. The heating heat exchanger was a […]
One of our customers had the need to filter a viscous adhesive. We built them a custom filter skid compromising of two FTI housings arranged is a duplex orientation. The filters each have a pressure differential switch which allows the flow to be diverted once a filter gets too dirty to run. When the first […]
With our customers input, we helped finish designing and building a system that we just shipped off for startup and final alterations. This system is built for pumping/dispensing glue with built in flow sensors for supply and return, an Eaton automatic self-cleaning filter with pressure transducers on the inlet and discharge to sense pressure, a […]
Here is a cooling skid we just finished for a customer that is using the skid to cool engine coolant, oil, fuel and air at an engine manufacturer. We are pumping a 50% glycol mixture and cooling it down from 195°F to 133°F at 80 GPM. This was developed for a test stand that is […]
Do you need to cool, heat or maintain temperature of sensitive liquids? Reach out to us to help you size the right heat exchanger for your application. We have Xylem – Standard Xchange Pre-engineered Shell & Tube, Brazed or Fan units on the shelf ready to go or we can help you design a custom […]
We just designed and built two Blackmer SNP2 pump assemblies on wheels out of our Indianapolis location. These Stainless Steel Sliding Vane Pumps were built with Nord Gear Reducer’s and Baldor Motors. They were mounted on portable carts with polyurethane casters and fork pockets for easy of mobility. Our customer was looking for a portable […]
We just sent this cart out to a customer to get installed. We worked with this customer to design and build a solution for recycling used oil from a transmission test system and refine it for re-use. It is part of a larger transmission test system that is used for testing on several types of […]
