Pump rebuilds improve operational efficiency

Pump services such as servicing, repair, rebuild and refurbishment help boost efficiency and reliability and extend the life of equipment.

This is according to IPR operations manager Henru Strydom, who says that the company’s pump rebuild facility plays a pivotal role in the lifecycle management of pumping equipment, offering a cost-effective alternative to the outright purchase of new equipment.

“The significant investment in our facility underscores our commitment to supporting industries such as mining, quarrying, water and wastewater management, oil and gas, and manufacturing through the repair and refurbishment of various types of pumps,” Strydom says.

Refurbishing pumps, Strydom says, offers an opportunity to extend equipment lifespan at a lower cost. “Through expert repair and refurbishment, pumps that might otherwise be decommissioned can continue to operate effectively, delivering value well beyond their expected service life. This not only maximises the return on the original investment but also contributes to operational continuity and reliability.”

The process of rebuilding a pump involves disassembling it, cleaning all components and inspecting each part for wear and damage. Worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced, where necessary, and upgrades can be made to improve the pump's performance.

“During the rebuild process, pumps can be tailored to meet specific operational requirements or upgraded with the latest technologies to improve performance and efficiency. This level of customisation allows businesses to adapt their pumping equipment to changing needs or advancements in technology without the need for entirely new purchases,” he explains.

Before a rebuilt pump is ready for return to service, it undergoes performance testing to ensure adherence to original specifications. The company uses a test tank designed to simulate operational conditions, which allows for the evaluation of key performance parameters such as flow rate, pressure, power consumption, efficiency and overall reliability of the pump.
