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.

Castle Pumps are a "one stop shop" for pumping solutions, priding ourselves on being able to fulfil the customer's complete enquiry. This case study is an example of where we have ensured that the client only requires one point of contact for their pumping requirements. A mining company contacted us with an enquiry for both air operated and electrically driven lube oil pumps, which we were able to specify and supply.

Castle Pumps' range is so vast that it includes pumps that other distributors do not have access to. For example, in this case study the client had approached other suppliers who were unable to fulfil their requirement of a self priming centrifugal pump able to handle flow rates of up to 8,300 l/min. Castle Pumps however were able to find the customer a solution.

Castle Pumps help customers to solve problems when quoting and specifying equipment. In this case study, the client was experiencing costly downtime due to a worker in the distillery having to keep manually priming the pump when it lost its prime. In order to overcome this issue, Castle Pumps provided two self-priming pumps; one as the main pump and one for standby to completely limit the risk of downtime.
