Water Based Dye Transfer – Peristaltic Pumps
Castle Pumps have been working for a good few years now with a manufacturer of site machinery for the quarry, mining, aggregate and forestry industries. They originally approached us when they were in need of a pump to be used with one of their large-scale colouring trommels. The trommel works by moving mulch, wood chippings, aggregates and sand in large volumes along a conveyor whilst spraying it with dye to colour it for landscaping.
Heavy Grout Transfer for Drilling Specialist - Peristaltic Pump
This customer needed to replace their current pump as it was not completely suitable for their application - lacking control features which meant supervision was required when start/stopping the pump. We provided them with a completely bespoke peristaltic pump specifically designed for their application. It had all the desired control features, allowing supervision-free operation and improving their productivity.
Fresh Water Pumping for Civil Engineering - Vertical Inline Pump
This customer required a high flow fresh water transfer pump which would be free from corrosion and therefore keep the water contaminant free. We selected a bronze pump which we knew would be able to handle this type of fluid without any complications. We also decided to couple the pump with an electric 4 pole motor running at 1450 RPM which would increase the lifespan of the pump and in time, reduce overall costs.
Sea Water Injection - Long Coupled Self Priming Centrifugal Pumps
Castle Pumps are able to supply pumps for both marine and industrial applications, and pride themselves on supplying pumps that best match the customers requirements. This enquiry was for self priming sea water injection pumps but the customer requested that the material be stainless steel 316, rather than the recommended material of bronze. We were able to provide a suitable pump that matched the customers requirements and which came in the requested material of stainless steel.
Testing Rig for Pipeline Pig Manufacturer - Multistage Pump
This pipeline pig manufacturer was hiring diesel driven pumps every time outdoor testing was taking place, but found that the hired pumps were noisy and inaccurate. They therefore wanted to purchase their own pump which would produce 80 l/sec at 8-10 bar, which was capable of 3-10 minute cycles, 6-10 times a day, with a maximum current of 158 A.
Sea Water Cleaning System for OEM - Centrifugal Pump & Vortex Impeller
Castle Pumps have scores of experience supplying pump solutions to the marine industry. An existing customer contacted us with a new enquiry for a solids handling sea water pump, which needed to be less costly and have better lead times than existing pumps. We offered and supplied a non-clogging centrifugal pump with a vortex impeller, which can handle solids as large as the discharge diameter. Minimal modifications were needed to their existing system and lead time and price were improved greatly.
