Enquiry

The client had previously used Castle Pumps Ltd for a simpler supply of some end suction centrifugal pumps for a previous project. They now wanted to re-use our competitive range of industrial pumps but also tasked us with the selection and supply of some affiliated equipment: this incudded an 8” Carbon Steel Strainer Assembly, a bespoke ATEX Rated self-priming fuel oil filling pump package and an automatic recirculation valve on top of a variety of Cast Steel, ATEX Rated Fuel Oil pumps. Castle Pumps took on the challenge and were only too happy to oblige!

Solution

We offered and subsequently supplied all the required pumps from our SNT End Suction Centrifugal Pump range which feature a back pull-out design and are EN733 compliant, as well as all the affiliated equipment under 1 supply, reducing the clients leg work as well as multiple supplier payments and shipment costs. We consolidated the order into 1 shipment, packaged everything for export (ISPM 15 Standard), prepared all the necessary export documentation and shipped to the client’s nominated delivery port, hassle free!
