Partnership Spurs Pump Utilization Project Success
Working alongside 3E Solutions & Consulting, DESMI has provided support, training, and expert recommendations to enhance the competency of the site maintenance team in servicing and repairing pumps. This collaborative effort with the Cargill Engineering Team has resulted in a project aimed at dramatically improving pump utilization.
In a bid to achieve self-sufficiency in pump service and repair, Cargill invested in a dedicated clean-area workshop equipped with comprehensive stock holdings of new bare shaft pumps, service kits, and emergency spare parts. This investment has proven crucial to minimizing interruptions to production and optimizing pump performance.
Preventative Maintenance Checks for Optimal Pump Performance
3E Solutions & Consulting has been providing comprehensive preventative maintenance checks, ensuring all pumps operate optimally. Through detailed inspections, including running hours, packing, adjustments, and regreasing frequency, potential issues are detected early, resulting in planned pump change-outs, and extending service life up to 20 times.
A fantastic collaboration:
