Our Repair & Maintenance Process
Pump Inspection & Assessment
We perform a detailed evaluation, including a basic electrical assessment of the motor.
Disassembly & Condition Analysis
The pump is stripped down, and critical components—bearings, seals, impellers, shafts, and wear parts—are carefully inspected.
Quotation
A comprehensive, itemized quotation is provided, complete with photographic documentation.
Repair, Machining & Reassembly
Upon approval, we source high-quality spare parts or manufacture custom parts in-house as needed.
Our technicians reassemble the pump with precision to ensure optimal functionality.
Testing & Quality Control
All repaired pumps, vacuum pumps, and blowers undergo rigorous performance testing in our on-site testing facility to ensure they meet operational standards.
Final Preparation & Delivery
Once testing is complete, we paint the pump if required and prepare it for collection, delivery, or reinstallation.

Professional Pump and Motor Alignment
Correct alignment between a pump and its drive motor is essential for reliable, efficient operation. Even small alignment errors can place unnecessary stress on the pump, motor, coupling and bearings—leading to increased wear and premature equipment failure.
What is motor and pump alignment?
Motor and pump alignment is the process of accurately positioning the motor shaft and pump shaft so they operate along the correct centreline.
Although flexible couplings can accommodate a small amount of movement, they are not designed to correct poor alignment. For the equipment to operate properly, both shafts must be aligned within the manufacturer’s recommended tolerances.
Professional alignment is typically completed using precision laser alignment equipment, allowing accurate measurements and adjustments to be made.
Why is correct alignment important?
Proper pump and motor alignment helps to:
- Reduce vibration and noise
- Extend bearing, seal and coupling life
- Reduce stress on pump and motor components
- Improve equipment reliability
- Reduce energy consumption
- Minimise unplanned breakdowns and repair costs
- Correct alignment can significantly improve the service life of both the pump and motor.
Why should alignment be checked periodically?
Equipment alignment can change over time, even when it was correctly aligned during installation. Common causes include:
- Foundation or baseplate movement
- Loose mounting bolts
- Pipework strain
- Thermal expansion and temperature changes
- Vibration during operation
- Maintenance or replacement of components
- Movement caused by ongoing wear
- Alignment should be checked as part of a planned maintenance program and whenever a pump, motor, coupling or baseplate has been removed, repaired or replaced.
What happens when alignment is incorrect?
Operating a pump and motor while misaligned can result in:
- Excessive vibration
- Premature bearing failure
- Mechanical seal leaks and failures
- Coupling wear or damage
- Shaft damage
- Increased power consumption
- Reduced pump performance
- Unexpected downtime
- Higher maintenance and replacement costs
- In severe cases, continued operation can cause major damage to the pump, motor or connected equipment.
