The transfer pump has a high failure rate; how to solve it?

In the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, transfer pumps have a high failure rate – how to address this issue?
Reply #22018-11-04
What kind of faults are there, and what type of pumps are they?
Reply #32018-11-04
Fault categories include improper human operation, the quality of the pump itself, and incorrect selection; specific issues need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis

If a person isn’t competent, replace them; if a pump isn’t working properly, replace it; if a manufacturing process is inadequate, change it

:Lol, the friend above is right; it’s probably a human factor. There’s a joke about people who “don’t feel the pain when hit,” and it refers to such people being placed in positions of responsibility. On regular production positions, it’s acceptable if it’s not designed that way, but when such problems occur and it’s not clear what’s going on, then it seems inappropriate. For example, compare one by one the parameters such as the medium for operation, operating temperature, pressure, flow rate, power, and net positive suction head specified on the pump’s label or in the equipment’s operating instructions. If all requirements are met, then check the quality of installation and maintenance, including levelness, coupling alignment, parallelism, and whether the locking preload of the foundation bolts is appropriate. Whether these factors exist. Additionally, which part the failure rate refers to can perhaps be clarified by disassembling it.

You can upload the operating conditions and the problems with the pump currently in use, so that everyone can help analyze them.

Support the view from the 9th floor – it’s a human issue. After all, the pumps used in the pharmaceutical industry are relatively ordinary pumps, so equipment-related issues are extremely rare.
