PRIMARY CAUSES OF WEAR IN PUMP HOUSING

ABRASION
The loss of material due to hard particles or surfaces that
are forced against and move along a softer surface.

EROSION
The loss of original material from a solid surface due to
mechanical interaction between the surface and a gas or fluid.

CAVITATION
Form of erosion by the development and growth of vapor
bubbles in fast flowing liquid due to a rapid pressure drop

C. ORROSION
The deterioration of a material, usually a metal, that results
from a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its
environment.
TYPICAL PROBLEM IN WEAR PUMP HOUSING

Pump pressure Head Decrease

Damaged pump housing unable to produce sufficient
pressure due to cavitation in pump

Pump Efficiency Drop

With pressure head decrease, the overall pump capacity drop
and caused drop of pump efficiency

Electricity Cost Increase

To maintain the pump capacity, more energy is required to
feed in the pump

Maintenance & Replacement Cost Increase

Lack of maintenances of pump created wear to the pump parts
and increase replacement cost in the plant.
This also create potential downtime to the plant itself
How Efficiency Impact Your Energy Cost

1 kwh industrial tariff in Malaysia (Tariff E3) is as above

Average cost of kWh 26.95sen/kWh

1 year operation with 70% plant utilization 6132 hours

1 year 55 kW pump energy consumptions 6132 hr X 55 kW =337260 kWh

1 year 55 kW pump energy cost RM 90,891.57/year

LOCTITE Product Intro

To Help You Solve Your Problem
 Liquid and slurry caused abrasion and wear on
high wear areas of processing equipment such
as pump impeller & pump housing

CASE
• Increased on unplanned downtime
01 • Replacement of expensive and huge equipment
• Increased on unexpected spending in
The maintenance cost
• Increased energy consumptions
Problem
Centrifugal Pump Pump Impeller Pump Housing
 Abrasion reduces equipment life.
LOCTITE EA 3478 – HELPS REBUILD WORNS
SURFACES
• LOCTITE EA 3478 is a 2 part ferro-silicone filled, 100% solid
The epoxy resin system.
• It is ideal for restoring parts worn by mechanical impact and

Solution corrosion.
• Typical applications are restoring tolerances to worn shafts,
repairing worn keyways, repairing housings, filling pitted
surfaces in worn machinery.

Resurfaces and repairs worn or corroded metal parts

with excellent machinability
Ferro-silicon filled system – cured to metal like
finishing
Resists corrosion, abrasion and chemicals
LOCTITE EA 3478 Functional cure in only 6 hours reduces downtime.
 Abrasion reduces equipment life.
LOCTITE PC 7227 – PROVIDES EXCELLENT
PROTECTION AGAINST LIQUID ABRASION
• LOCTITE PC 7227 is an ultra smooth, ceramic reinforced
The epoxy coating that is solvent free.
• Designed to protect surfaces against turbulence, chemicals,
Solution abrasive and corrosive agents.
• High gloss, low friction finishing that used to restore or
increase pump efficiency and able to work as top-coat.
• Can used in resurfacing pump impellers, housings, pipe walls,
elbows, hear exchangers and etc.

Ceramic and silicon carbide filled to provide maximum

protection
Ultra smooth brushable consistency
Easy to mix and use

Pump Improvement Case History
Power Plant Industry
▪ Customer / Country
▪ Coal Power plant in India
▪ Problem / Application
▪ Erosion of internal pump surface & loss of efficiency of a 10000
m3 / hr. pump
▪ Internal wear protection of pump
▪ Solution
▪ Rebuild the worn out surface with Loctite Wear resistant putty
& coat with Loctite Brushable ceramic
▪ Benefits
▪ Reclaim of asset
▪ Increase of efficiency back from 79.38 to 83.78%

Pump Improvement Case History
Water Utility Industry

▪ Major Water Utility reclaims water pumps. On-Site, Loctite® Know-How assists the customer to reclaim 36”
Horizontal Split Pump. The unique Loctite® repair method around the wear ring seats, completes this major
reclaim and repair. The customer was able to reclaim a €100K pump at a fraction of the cost of new parts.
Result = Major savings and Efficiency gains

21
Pump Improvement Case History
Glove Industry
▪ New Pump prepared, Abrasive Blasted, and coated with White & Grey Loctite® Nordbak® Brushable Ceramic.
Purpose was to document any pump efficiency gains and power savings on closed loop, NATA approved test
bed. Results in an official and verifiable 6% pumping efficiency improvement + power savings

University & External

Body Study
 Pump Performances/ Efficiency Test done by
• Dr. Thatchavee Leelawat
• Dr. Praveen Chompreda
University • Dr Wonsiri Punurai

Reference & Objective

• To compare the effect of surface roughness on efficiency of pump
External Body • To investigate the improved efficiency of Loctite Coated Pump

Testing Background
• Pump: major components used in nearly all production processes of
many applications
• Longer the pump used
• Surface wear and corrosion and caused rougher surface on the
interior casting of the pump
• Capacity and pressure head
• Efficiency
• Maintenance cost
• Electricity cost
• Increase noise, vibration, and possibly damage to other
components
