Knowledge:
With decades of experience in designing and manufacturing rotary positive displacement pumps, SPX's Plenty Mirrlees Pumps have built an excellent reputation for reliable pumping equipment for the marine, oil processing, petrochemical processing, power generation, defense, sugar and general industries. With Plenty Mirrless Pumps, SPX has a solution for
most pumping applications with a range that includes two screw (TWINRO), three screw (TRIRO) and our 2000 series vane pumps incorporating the unique variable flow feature.
These pump designs are ideally suited for a number of applications in the marine industry.
Technology:
TWINRO screw pumps provide an axial flow and are used in all bulk transfer duties where large volumes of liquid are required to be moved. They have features designed for emptying tanks, good suction conditions, excellent cargo stripping capabilities and are available in both horizontal and space saving, vertical configurations.
Screw pumps provide a smooth, pulse-free flow and are designed to pump oils. The pump has an axial, pulse-free flow and silent operation for sensitive forced lubrication, seal oil circulation and oil firing systems.
Vane pumps are rotary pumps with a unique construction of eight blades with flat tips sliding in a precision machined rotor which provides low-shear, low-pulse flow with high volumetric and mechanical efficiency. The design enables low or highly viscous liquids to be pumped. The robust construction ensures very low vibration, quiet running and a long service life. They are designed to operate at low speeds, offering high resistance to wear.
Service:
Our trained and experienced staff are able to offer technical pre- and post-sales advice on all pumps and systems, training throughout all stages of pump assembly, and support through to on-site installation and commissioning.
Our network of technicians provide planned and comprehensive on-site service, repair and refurbishment programs for most types of pumps. Whether servicing takes place in the field or at our service center, the same standards of excellence apply, ensuring that our customers' pumps are back in the field quickly and operating at maximum efficiency.
Our Service Center maintains a stock inventory of the most common wearing components. Parts required for emergency breakdown situations can be manufactured upon request quickly and accurately at our manufacturing facilities.
