Home Services Pump Casing Repair

Pump Casing Repair

Keep your pump protected with our casing repair. Our specialised services, from casting repairs to thermal spraying, can assist in restoring the casing to a functional, reliable state.

Pump Casing Repair

Our Pump Casing Repair Services

As part of our pump repairs and refurbishment services, we specialise in pump casing repair services across all types of industries. Our team, backed by close to nine decades of experience, has the proficiency in addressing complex, technically demanding repair needs. Whether it’s an emergency breakdown or routine maintenance, our global reach and on-site machining capabilities can result in a fast, professional response.  

Our services include specialist welding repairs, utilised when repairing cracks, holes, or joining new sections to the existing casing. We also use thermal spraying to improve the pump’s resistance to erosion, corrosion, and mechanical wear, while casting repairs help restore the casing’s integrity.

Pump Casing Repair

Advantages of Pump Casing Repairs

  • Improved efficiency and performance: A damaged casing can cause decreased pump efficiency that requires more energy to operate. Repairing the casing restores optimal performance, which sees the pump work at its designed capacity. The result includes energy savings and improved overall system performance.
  • Leaks and environmental damage prevention: A well-maintained pump casing prevents leaks of potentially hazardous materials. This is especially important in industries dealing with chemicals, oil, or waste products, where adhering to environmental regulations and preventing contamination is essential.
  • Extended equipment lifespan: Repairing a pump casing can significantly extend the pump’s lifespan. Cracks, wear, tear – when these are fixed, the pump continues to operate efficiently for a longer period. Along with reducing the need to replace the pump, it helps with budget management and gauging output.
  • Long-term cost savings: It’s true: repairing a pump casing incurs an immediate cost. However, it is generally more budget-friendly than replacing the entire pump. Regular maintenance and repairs can prevent more severe, costly damages, which results in long-term savings.
  • Safety enhancement: Damaged pump casings can pose safety risks, especially if the pump handles high-pressure or high-temperature fluids. By repairing the casing, it delivers a safer working environment that reduces the risk of accidents caused by equipment failure.

Pump Casing Repair

Common Causes for Pump Casing Damage or Degradation

  • Corrosion: Exposure to aggressive chemicals or corrosive environment can cause the pump casing to deteriorate. This is common in industries that handle the likes of acids, alkalis, or saltwater, where the casing material may react chemically – leading to weakening and eventual failure.
  • Erosion: Pumps that handle abrasive substances – think sand, mineral slurries, or other particulates – can suffer from erosion. The constant physical wear and tear gradually removes material from the casing, which compromises its integrity and ultimately causes leaks.
  • Thermal stress: Fluctuations in temperature, which is the case in processes involving hot fluids, can result in thermal stress in pump casings. With repeated expansion and contraction, this can see the casing material fatigue, crack, or warp.
  • Cavitation: Cavitation is a process that occurs when bubbles form in the liquid being pumped, and these then collapse with great force upon reaching areas of higher pressure. This can cause the pump casing to weaken and suffer from pitting, which can lead to its eventual degradation and failure.
  • Mechanical stress and vibration: Improper installation, misalignment, imbalance in the pump mechanism – all of this can give rise to excessive vibrations. Over time, this mechanical stress can generate cracks, loosen bolts, or cause other forms of damage to the pump casing.
