A UK oil manufacturer wanted a vane pump which could pump furnace oil as well as needing the pump to clear the lines and dry run for short periods of time. The customer had received a quote from elsewhere but the lead time was 6-7. Here at Castle Pumps we were able to supply a vane pump fitted with duravanes, an ATEX motor and a pressure relief valve. We were able to make and deliver the pump, baseplate mounted, within 4 weeks.

An offshore engineering company required a surface mounted pump which could pump kerosene. The customer had some budget restraints which we needed to review. Due to these constraints, we supplied the centrifugal pump in a low cost material, with an explosion proof motor - making it perfect to handle kerosene. The customer was happy with the finished product and it was delivered to them in Nigeria within 10 working weeks.

This customer needed to purchase various pumps for a fuelling station that they were building off the coast of Malta. The pumps needed were to transfer kerosene, diesel and petrol from storage tanks at the fuelling station, to the boats being refuelled. With this, as well as other factors, Castle Pumps were able to supply centrifugal pumps that matched their requirements and budget, and were delivered within 10 working weeks to the customer.

This customer required a gear pump for their 4 custom skids that they were building. Each pump was required to transfer 30m³/hr at 4 bar and to have a built in bypass. Each pump was coupled to an 11Kw geared motor running at 400RPM to achieve the required duty. We also supplied detailed drawings of the pump, to allow the customer to begin manufacturing the skid before the pumps were delivered.

As well as pumps, Castle Pumps can also supply customers with other industrial equipment such as valves. In this example the customer needed some affiliated equipment, as well as pumps. We supplied the customer with centrifugal pumps, peripheral pumps, a re-circulation valve and a duplex strainer. We also consolidated the order into a single shipment, packaged everything for shipment, prepared the necessary documents and shipped to the client's nominated delivery port - hassle free!

One of the services supplied by Castle Pumps, is pump solutions. This customer was having difficulty with its immersible transfer pump and needed a suitable alternative that would eliminate problems caused by blockages, could handle waters and slurries and would optimise installation to improve efficiency. Castle pumps recommended and provided a peristaltic pump, which carried all the features needed in order to solve the issues the client was having prior to the enquiry.
