What to Look for in an Industrial Pump Repair Shop – Part 1

There are a lot of shops that provide industrial pump repair services. But how do you find a good one for your needs? What are the qualities of an excellent industrial pump repair shop?

Provide a Wide Range of Repairs and Services for Industrial Pumps

A solid industrial pump repair shop should be able to handle many different repairs and services such as:

• • Replacing old pumps and installing new pumps
  • Replacing parts
  • Performing coupling, seal and base repairs
  • Providing predictive maintenance services such as vibration testing to help identify problems before they become urgent and expensive repair needs.
  • Aligning industrial pumps
  • Performing impeller repairs
  • Providing cryogenic and sand blasting services
  • Providing seal maintenance

Service Many Different Types and Brands of Industrial Pumps

An excellent industrial pump repair shop knows how to handle repairs for the many different types of industrial pumps such as ANSI and API process pumps, axial flow pumps, booster pumps, centrifugal pumps, circulating pumps, multi-stage pumps, submersible pumps and many other types.

A good industrial repair shop understands the differences between how each pump functions and the common problems associated with that type of pump.

Experienced and Well-Trained Service Technicians

Highly trained techs with years of “hands-on” work experience with industrial pumps are crucial for providing good outcomes when repairs are needed. Being able to diagnose problems and use predictive maintenance tests to identify possible future problems is a tremendous asset for a company in need of an industrial pump repair.

Service technicians and shops with accreditations or certifications, such as the SKF certified motor rebuilder designation, also indicate the knowledge and skills of the service technicians at the shop.
