Engineering Design
Pump Technology Services design
and manufacture all types of pumps
including double-suction horizontal
split-case pumps. Pumps can be
designed or modified to
customer-specific requirements. We
can re-engineer components for
improved performance, reliability and
cost saving. Pump Technology

Services specialise in increasing

production outputs by improving
efficiency to existing and new pumps.

Pump Technology Services

manufacture an extensive range of
centrifugal pumps from large split
case process pumps to bore pumps
and trailer mounted pump-sets. From
initial pattern manufacture to final
machining and heat treatment, these
processes are conducted in-house
ensuring that we are in total control of
each step.

The outcome is the right result first

time, reduced lead times and lower
cost.

PTS engineering and design team

utilises the latest computer modelling,
3D design software and scanning
technology to ensure our onsite
pattern shop is producing high quality
pattern equipment. Through the
skilled hands of our pattern makers,
3D printers and CNC multi axis
machines PTS are able to offer a wide
range of industry-specific

patterns to meet our customers unique

requirements. We already have a large range of
pattern equipment to service companies in the
mining and heavy industry sectors.

Romer Arm
The Romer Arm is the latest
technology for both QA inspection
and reverse engineering using a
combination of co-ordinate
measurement and laser scanning.
This is a compact portable system
which can be used on site for in-situ
data collection, reducing the need to
take parts out of service for extended
periods.

3 Axis CNC Routing

Our in-house CNC Router is used to
physically machine cut Foundry
Patterns from traditional materials
utilising 3D model driven technology
and remains without question the
mainstay of competitive
manufacturing worldwide.
The Router not only eliminates costly
manual processes necessary for the
cast metal patterns but actually
relieves pressure from existing staff to

meet delivery targets. From a

business perspective the key shift,
apart from accuracy and time saving,
is the moving of the design decision
making from workshop to
engineering.

Newly designed pump impellers or

reverse engineered data from the
Romer arm can be turned into casting
patterns in a fraction of the time of
conventional pattern making through
a process of 3D printing. This
technique ensures absolute accuracy
of the complex compound curves
used in impeller vane development.
For double entry impellers the 3D
printing of impeller vanes ensures

that the vane leading edge profiles on

both sides are an exact mirror image
resulting in balanced hydraulic loading
on shafts and bearings.

Dynamic Balancing
PTS utilises a hard bearing style
balancing machine that indicates
residual unbalance in both single and
dual planes. This equipment is used for
balancing impellers and single or multi
stage rotating assemblies to ISO1940
2003 Grade G6.3 or above. NATA
accredited certificates are also
available. This attention to detail
ensures minimal vibration, extended
bearing life and optimal pump
efficiency.
