New Pump Smell

By Alan Parsons

I buy used cars.  My frugal self just can’t part with the extra money it takes to get from “serves my needs well” to “two digits on the odometer”.  I can research the history, the year, and model of the car to see how much maintenance they take compared to others.  And, I can afford more car.

Can the same logic be used for pumps and other rotating equipment?  Well, depends on what you are after.  For pumps, in many cases, the answer is a very strong yes.  The first few reasons are fairly obvious: 

Rentals: What's the Big Deal?

When an industry needs equipment to finish the job, they often have two choices. They must buy the equipment they need, or find a temporary solution.

Projections for the future are also holding steady.

Serbia Steel Mill Pump Rebuild

Power Zone overhauled a 4000 horsepower 7 stage descaling pump for a steel mill in eastern Europe.  The mill had three 50% pumps and was in its 5th month awaiting repair in the shop of a major pump OEM.  When the second pump suffered major vibrations, they were forced to operate at a reduced output and needed the second pump repaired quickly.  Power Zone accepted one of its most challenging equipment rebuilds yet, returned the pump to the customer in just 10 weeks.
