Application Situation
The model of split case pump was no longer produced so spares were in short supply.
Application Method
The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflets CEP-1 and CEP-3. The damaged areas around the wear rings were rebuilt with Belzona 1111 before the casing was coated with two coats of Belzona 1341.
Belzona Facts
Using this method the pump was repaired/protected & ready for service without the need for any modifications of the pipework associated with it. Due to the low film thickness of Belzona 1341, no major changes to the pump head are expected.
