It is a comprehensive evaluation that includes visual inspection, flow and pressure measurement, analysis of characteristic curves, and mechanical seal review. We identify internal leaks, impeller wear, and low-efficiency points. The result is a report with prioritized recommendations to restore the equipment's nominal capacity.
Using vibration sensors and thermography, we detect wear in bearings and seals before an unplanned shutdown. We establish monitoring frequencies based on the type of fluid and workload. In mining operations, this practice has reduced repair costs by up to 40% and extended equipment lifespan.
We review pipe sizing, impeller selection, and the implementation of variable frequency drives. At a Chilean site, we achieved an 18% electricity savings after adjusting operating parameters. We also analyze efficiency curves for each operating point and propose changes in pump scheduling.
We provide practical training on how to prepare technical budgets: pump selection based on flow and dynamic head, installation and maintenance cost calculation, and supplier evaluation. It includes exercises with real cases from mining projects and processing plants.
It depends on the number of equipment and the complexity of the installation. For a typical pumping station with 3 to 5 centrifugal pumps, field work takes between 2 and 3 days. Then, 5 business days are required for data analysis and delivery of the technical report with drawings and recommendations.
Companies from the mining and hydraulic sectors that endorse our work.
“VoltaPumps' audit detected an internal leak that went unnoticed. We recovered 45 m³/h of flow without replacing equipment.”
“We implemented the predictive maintenance plan they recommended. In six months, we reduced unplanned downtime by 35%.”
“The energy cost analysis showed us a potential savings of 22% just by adjusting the variable frequency drives.”
