Fluid handling means high velocity fluids - liquids and gases.
High velocity means wear, erosion and corrosion – at high impact points within pump impellers, valves seats and stems, bends and elbows in pipework systems. And those pumps, valves and pipes are vital components in a production process. A worn component means inefficiency and delays.
We work with pump OEMs and end-users to produce cost-efficient long-wearing solutions to high wear components. Unique surface engineering technologies – developed to increase resistance to wear and corrosion – that optimise component and system performance, increase productivity by extending component, plant and machinery operational life, improve reliability, reduce component change-outs, reduce downtime and reduce overall operating and maintenance costs.
Components work better, last longer and cost less.
Benefits:
Reduced Wear / Longer Life
Abrasive and corrosive production environments mean increased wear rates on equipment. Laserbond surface engineering technologies will significantly extend the operating lifespan of processing equipment by reducing the wear to components from impacts with abrasive and corrosive fluids.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Production equipment and components surface engineered by Laserbond will operate in-situ for longer and perform more efficiently. An extended operating life increases the cycle time for regular maintenance, and decreases maintenance costs.
Less Product Loss
As an outcome of inefficiently operating processing equipment, leakage and product loss is a cost. Laserbond surface engineered production-vital equipment and components improves and maintains operating efficiency, improves the process, and cuts product loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pump components can be remanufactured?
Laserbond remanufactures a range of pump components. Shafts, impeller ID, impeller vanes, seal areas, bearing shells, pump casing, mating faces, Wear rings and shaft sleeves are laser clad by Laserbond to extend the life time of these wear parts.
Why do pump impellers wear out so quickly?
Pump impellers wear out quickly due to constant exposure to cavitation, erosive abrasive particles, and corrosive fluids under high-velocity flow. Repeated impact and turbulence erode surfaces, while cavitation bubbles collapsing near blades cause pitting damage. Combined with cyclic stresses and harsh operating conditions, these factors accelerate material loss, reducing efficiency and requiring frequent replacement or remanufacturing.
What is industrial pump repair vs remanufacturing?
Industrial pump repair fixes localized damage—seals, bearings, minor wear—to restore basic function using standard parts, addressing immediate issues reactively. Remanufacturing is comprehensive: components like impellers/shafts are stripped, inspected against original specs, and rebuilt using laser cladding or thermal spray, restoring or exceeding original dimensions and material properties for extended, "better-than-new" service life.
Does Laserbond work with pump OEMs?
Yes, Laserbond works with a number of pump OEMs. Applications range from slurry pumps in mining, over desalination pumps in water industry and progressive cavity pumps for wastewater sludge to mud pumps in drilling for oil and gas.
