Making your Plant Room a No Waiting Zone

By combining the resources and know-how of two Product Business Units – Flow Control and Power Transmission – ERIKS can provide you with a high-quality motorised pump unit, coupled to a motor gearbox and/or inverter, using high quality private brand and A brand components, to your exact specification.

This high-speed response is a result of intelligent stocking of a huge range of components, supported by in-house engineering expertise. 

Made-to-order, off-the-shelf

Whoever supplies your basic pump set, the initial approach to the job is the same. It’s simply a matter of combining components. What’s different when ERIKS engineers your pump is that it’s the components that are waiting, not you. 

Other suppliers will almost certainly be ordering-in many of the components of a set – making them hostage to their own suppliers’ lead times and leaving you in down-time limbo. Meanwhile ERIKS can be getting on with the job of building your bare shaft pump to order, in days rather than weeks. 

That’s because, waiting in stock and ready to go as soon as your order comes in, ERIKS has:

• £1.5m worth of gearboxes 
• geared motors up to 55kW 
• inverters up to 110kW

And these aren’t just any components. They’re from trusted partners such as Fenner (for drives) and WEG (for motors) who would often be the first choice of other suppliers too. But while they’d be on the phone ordering, ERIKS is on the job assembling. 

Cracking the combination

Faster manufacturing of bare shaft pump sets is not only down to higher levels of stock and shorter supply lines. It’s also down to more intelligent stocking and in-depth product and engineering know-how, that enable more flexibility.

The key is that all the possible components of a pump set – pump, motor, gearbox and inverter – are core to the ERIKS product offering, and therefore fully supported by extensive stock and equally extensive experience and engineering expertise.

For example, the performance envelope of a pump can be changed entirely depending on the size of impeller it houses. ERIKS has as many as 8 different impellers for some pump housings, as well as the expertise to calculate the optimum impeller and case combination to achieve the customer’s required performance. 

From end-suction centrifugal pumps to rotary lobe, flexible impeller and many other positive displacement pump configurations, ERIKS can adapt, customise and optimise in-house – and do it all in less time than competitor suppliers. 

Making it special

Another advantage of ordering from ERIKS is that you not only get the pump set you need. You also get the pump set you really want.

So if you want special motor seals suitable for aggressive washdowns, that’s what you’ll get. If you want Industry 4.0 technology built in – like e-Connect for status monitoring – you’ll get it. If you need vibration transducers already capped and fitted, or auto-lubrication, you can have them too, without delay.

If your pump set is for use in the pharmaceutical or food and beverage sectors, you can have your pump set complete with a suitably specified hygienic gearbox casing. If it’s going into the water industry, you can have it built to WIMES  standards. And you can choose a pump set comprising best-in-class components, or to conform to your particular site standards.

In fact, you can have whatever you want, and as soon as you could possibly want it. So why wait?
