One-stop-shop

Global sourcing service for UK equipment operators

Pump users in the UK can take

advantage of a new service

launched by BS Services, which

aims to find replacement pumps

and spare parts for process

machinery, regardless of where in

the world the equipment was

originally manufactured.

Mixers, dispensers and fluid

handling equipment that has been

imported into the UK often

include air-operated diaphragm,

rotary, or gear pumps. Operators

commonly find locating spare parts

for such equipment time con-

suming and expensive. Pump

identification details are some-

times removed or erased in order to

restrict customer supply options.

Often the user is charged inflated

prices for replacement parts, whilst

response times and delivery can be

poor. Fitting an alternative pump

is always an option but in many

cases there would also be the

expense of modifying the pneu-

matic control system and pipe

work to ensure that operating

performance was maintained.

BS Services new ‘one-stop-shop’

service is designed to assist equip-

ment operators who find them-

selves in such circumstances.

Using their international pump

trade contacts the company claim

they can source identical replace-

ment pumps or spares direct from

the original pump manufacturer,

and in doing so offer the equip-

ment user substantial cost savings

compared to an importing agent.

ABS introduces compact next generation pump*

ABS Pumps has updated three of its models.

ABS has introduced the next

generation of MF 354-804,

MF 565-665, and Piranha

08 pumps. The new models

all share a new compact

design, which means a smaller

sump requirement and shor-

ter installation time. The

design incorporates a cast iron

(GG25), motor housing and

volute, oil chamber, stainless

steel upper lid, silicon car-

bide mechanical seal and

polyamide impeller.

The MF series is designed for

the de-watering of buildings

and construction sites, and also

for pumping effluent from

locations below the backwash

level. In addition, therefore,

the pumps are suitable for

emptying containers of any

type, for use in septic tanks, the

emptying of flooded cellars, the

pumping of rainwater and

drainage applications. When

intended for use on building

sites selected models are

available as a VO-version, with

screen and hose connections.

The Piranha 08 has the

same new design features as

the MF series but it in-

corporates the Piranha cutting

system from ABS. The model

is therefore best suited for

the pumping of domestic

sewage.
