Syst-MP replaced the hydraulic assembly of a pump in a firefighting pumping station at a hotel in the Algarve. The work included installing the new hydraulic assembly and aligning it with the existing electric motor.
The work carried out
A new hydraulic assembly with a cast-iron impeller was supplied and installed. The existing electric motor was retained and aligned with the pump using SKF laser equipment.
This intervention combines two complementary stages: fitting the hydraulic component and adjusting motor-pump alignment.
Why is alignment important?
Shaft alignment needs attention after this type of work. Misalignment can contribute to vibration and premature wear of components such as bearings and seals.
Laser equipment measures deviations and guides the necessary adjustments.
Pumping system assistance
