Marine & Offshore

Some of the enquiries we receive here at Castle Pumps are straight forward and give us all the information that we need to specify a pump. This fishery company enquired asking us for a specific type of pump and told us the exact fluid and contents that they'd be pumping. This information enabled us to proceed quickly with our recommendation and then onto the manufacture and supply of the pumps.

Castle Pumps receive a wide range of enquiries for a number of industry applications. Farming fish on land is an unusual but increasing market which Castle Pumps have adapted to in order to specify and supply pumps for requirements posed for within this market. A centrifugal pump was selected to match their requirements, which was fitted with accessories and a bespoke control panel to ensure all of their specifications were met.

Castle Pumps have been specifying and supplying pumps for the marine market for several years, and therefore have expertise and knowledge when it comes to marine enquiries. The world's largest container ship in 2012 contacted Castle with an urgent enquiry, requiring two boiler feed pumps. Castle Pumps were able to select a model that matched their requirements and dispatch them in just 9 working days!

Castle Pumps understand that the selection process of a pump is the most important part of the buying procedure, so ensuring that we gather the correct information is vital. This information ensures that the customer will get a pump that works, and a pump that's efficient in saving money in both power and spares over it's lifetime. By collecting the necessary information we were able to spec and source the best pump for this customer's needs.

Castle Pumps have established a network of manufacturers that they can rely on when they require bespoke or tailored pumping solutions. The customer in this case study required a replacement pump that could be directly installed into existing pipework. Castle Pumps were able to get a pump specially manufactured to match the dimensions of the existing pump, therefore eliminating the need to adapt the installation.

Castle Pumps understand that for some companies the lead time on wearing parts is one of the most important factors, and therefore ensuring access to local stock is vital. In this example, we were able to improve on the previous supplier's lead time on spare parts by three weeks. As pump downtime for a dredging company is very costly, the customer was hugely impressed with our service.
