When you have a BIG job and need it done correctly – the FIRST time – leveraging experience is your shortest path to success.
At ABET, we take on all projects, big and small, and challenging ones are always welcome!
This week’s project features a Worthington 8LR20 pump shown here during the various phases of restoration. The LR series are axially split, general industrial pumps that are available in numerous sizes with standard flows to 8800 GPM (2000 m3/h) and heads to 560 feet (170m). These are large pumps that require serious strength to manage, and our skilled technicians were up to the task!
This project was a solid restoration that included disassembly and inspection, nickel plating of the upper and lower volute, installing a 3.0″ mechanical seal, replacing the bearings and lip seals, balancing the rotating assembly, applying primer and epoxy coating, and finishing with hydrostatic testing.
