Gould’s Split-Case Pump – Southern Tier, New York
The Challenge:
For over half a century, since its installation in 1972, this remarkable pump has faithfully served its duty. Throughout these 51 years, Siewert Equipment has stood as a reliable partner, providing both sales and service to ensure the smooth operation of this facility.
When the call for repair came in, signaling a need to restore the hydraulic performance of this split case Centrifugal pump, Siewert’s dedicated Reliability Service Group (RSG) promptly arrived on-site, armed with experienced resources performed an in-depth inspection and presented the customer with a comprehensive repair procedure.
This pump is no ordinary machine, boasting an impressive weight of 11,500 pounds and an ability to propel 20,000 gallons per minute (GPM) while overcoming a head of 200 feet (TDH), all powered by a robust 1,250 horsepower electric motor. To undertake the task, Siewert Equipment’s mechanical sub-contractor carefully extracted the pump and transported it to our Albany NY service center, where it underwent full disassembly and meticulous inspection.
