Vertical Turbine Pump Repair – We welcome your inspection of our facility and processes.
Typical Vertical Turbine – Pump Repair Procedure Disassembled pumps are inspected for unusual wear. New discharge heads can be provided to address vibration problems. Complete head analysis can be accomplished if required and tested at our facility. All final checks are made prior to shipment to insure the product meets customer requirements. Also, all units are tagged for tracking maintenance history and failure analysis.
- The pump is completely disassembled and inspected. Particular attention is focused on unusual wear due to:
- Improper clearances
- Corrosion/erosion
- Flow problems
- Cavitation
- Contaminants
- Digital photography can be used to capture specific damage for customer inspection.
- Component parts are thoroughly cleaned.
- Precise measurements are taken on all worn components and noted on the inspection form. Non-destructive testing is performed on all parts.
- Parts are replaced with the same or upgraded materials per customer input.
- Impellers are dynamically balanced to our customer’s specifications.
- The pump is carefully reassembled.
- Performance testing is available.
- Check all runouts to insure the unit meets all requirements.
- Documentation is completed for disassembly, parts replacement, modifications, and reassembly and compiled in a REPAIR REPORT.
- Complete maintenance records are maintained in our totally integrated Tencarva System for future reference and tracking of Mean Time Between Failures.
Final inspection of all components is performed to insure products meet all dimensional requirements. Rebowling Service … New Life for Old Pumps Tencarva can easily restore your vertical turbine pump’s original performance (and in many instances, improve it) by rebowling. Complete new liquid ends match all makes of vertical turbine pumps from 6″ to 120″ … regardless of manufacture.
Once the mechanical and hydraulic requirements are determined, a complete replacement bowl assembly can be shipped for on-site adaptation and installation or, if preferred, easily accomplished at the nearest Tencarva center.
