CombiPro

Ensuring regular maintenance and monitoring key performance indicators can significantly enhance the reliability and longevity of heavy-duty centrifugal process pumps. One such reliable option is the SPX FLOW CombiPro, a marine-rated pump designed for demanding environments. This pump is suitable for handling water, oil, and other process liquids in both marine and industrial settings. It features an electric drive and is built to handle tough tasks. Common issues that may arise include mechanical seal leakage, overheating of the bearing housing, impeller erosion or corrosion, and vibration due to coupling misalignment or cavitation. Regular inspection and replacement of critical components such as the mechanical seal, bearing set, wear rings, shaft sleeve, and casing gaskets are recommended to prevent these failures. Additionally, monitoring vibration levels, bearing temperatures, and seal leakage, and checking the alignment after maintenance, can help maintain optimal performance. Inspecting the internal components during scheduled overhauls is also crucial for continued reliability.
