Common failures & inspection points

Mechanical seal leakage or stuffing box packing deterioration leading to fluid loss and environmental contamination

Weekly visual inspection of stuffing box packing, shaft seal rings, and mechanical seals for signs of leakage, discoloration, or wear patterns. Check for weeping around seal area and verify proper packing tension.

Bearing wear and premature failure due to inadequate lubrication or contaminated lubricant

Roller bearing condition assessment every 800 operating hours minimum. Check grease quantity and condition, listen for abnormal noise (rumbling indicates wear), and perform visual inspection of bearing temperature and housing integrity.

Cavitation damage to pump screws and housing from inadequate suction pressure or high fluid velocity in suction line

Monitor suction line pressure, filter condition, and flow velocity. Inspect pump casing interior for pitting or erosion marks. Listen for cavitation noise (gravel-like sound). Verify suction line diameter is adequate and free of restrictions.

Oil contamination and viscosity degradation affecting external bearing lubrication and gear engagement

Oil level and condition check weekly. Renew vent filter yearly and perform complete oil change every 3,000 operating hours. Verify oil type matches specification and check for water/fuel contamination via oil analysis sampling.

Screw/rotor contact due to wear or bearing failure causing catastrophic pump damage and seizure

Monitor vibration levels and operating noise for changes indicating bearing degradation. Inspect timing gear engagement clearance. Verify external bearing lubrication system operation. Check for any particles in discharge or bearing compartment via drain sampling.
