Did you know that 90% of pump failures occur because the wrong pump has been selected or installed?

Global Pumps is pleased to announce we will be exhibiting at Lithium 2019 in Perth and WineTech 2019 in Adelaide.

The design and positioning of the pipes on an industrial pump are extremely important. Poor design can be a cause of poor performance and a shorter life of your pump.

The common issue of a centrifugal pump’s hydraulic performance failing to match its published performance curve is just as commonly followed by the question, why? Although the issues that cause this discrepancy are not complicated within themselves, narrowing it down to identify the correct problem proves more difficult. As a starting point for finding out why this may be occurring to your pump we have identified the three areas where problems are frequently found. These areas dig into common issues, general wear and tear and accuracy. If you need more personal assistance or expert advice we encourage you to contact a pump expert.

Each year wineries are faced with pumping equipment maintenance or replacement. At Global Pumps we understand that vintage isn't going to wait, so neither can your parts and pumps. That's why we stock a large range of quality sump, must and transfer pumps at our Adelaide warehouse, ensuring quick delivery to your site.

The information you need to know when looking to buy a pump can be broken down into fluid, flow, discharge, suction and options. In this blog you'll find questions you can ask yourself in order to gather this information, links that explain key concepts and definitions at the bottom of the page. 

In our last blog we talked about the importance of the suction line and how it can affect your system. In this post we will go over different recommendations from various pump manufacturers as to what they recommend for their type of pump.

It's an often neglected component of an efficient pump system, but the suction pipe is incredibly important in ensuring that a product is transported correctly. Whether it's forgetting to include the suction pipe in your friction loss calculations, or simply ignoring the dangers of a lengthy or undersized suction pipe, too many underestimate the positive and negative effects this can have.
