Henkel, makers of Loctite brand products, has produced a new 62 page, fully illustrated, guide to assist maintenance engineers who are involved with the servicing of industrial centrifugal pumps. The brochure provides useful information about the comprehensive range of Loctite products that are available to promote pump reliability and longevity. It also shows how significant cost reductions can be achieved in the maintenance of the units.
‘Most industrial centrifugal pumps carry a significant capital expenditure and, therefore, it is important to extend their useful lives,’ says Colin Chapman, Marketing Manager at Henkel. ‘Proactive maintenance can ensure they run efficiently and also reduce the risk of costly breakdowns.’
The guide explains how Loctite products can be readily utilised for assembly, installation, repairs, ongoing maintenance and disassembly functions. For example, it reveals how a few simple steps during assembly can reduce or even eliminate common failures. When it comes to repairs, it shows how the use of the correct products can restore parts that might otherwise have been scrapped.
‘The layout of the guide provides an easy-to-follow pattern that illustrates the cause of problems, the solution and the subsequent result that can be achieved,’ says Colin Chapman.
