Since its introduction in 2009, GIW
has expanded Enduraclad's capabilities
to allow coating on essential pump
parts other than just suction liners,
enabling it to provide even greater
longevity for GIW pumps.
"Although Enduraclad-bonded parts
are more expensive, they are well worth
the price. They will cost more than
uncoated parts, such as suction liners,"
said Willis. "However, you are saving on
costs by using fewer parts, reducing
maintenance costs, and not suffering the
downtime revenue loss. To remove and
replace the parts on one of these pumps
requires two to four people working with
tools and lifting devices for six to eight
hours. So the longer you can keep the
pump running with nobody touching it,
the more operational costs you save."
According to Willis, "We're not just
developing these really specialized
materials and processes and charging
higher prices. We're continually looking
for ways to reduce the cost of materials
so we have a product that serves cus-
tomers' needs and fits their budgets.
This is one of the ways GIW meets our
customer expectations for continuous
improvement."
