Challenge

After the winter shutdown, a mineral processing site in Romania resumed operations. One of their Linatex pumps (Linapump IIIr) immediately showed signs of failure: the dry gland assembly was leaking heavily. Prolonged exposure to abrasive slurries had worn out the sealing components, and the pump could no longer hold pressure. 

To get back online, the customer urgently needed high-quality replacement parts. Without a functioning seal, production would be delayed, and they needed a solution within days.


Solution

Our team assessed the situation and shipped a complete seal refurbishment kit to the site, which was delivered within days on the other side of Europe. All parts matched the original design in both dimensions and material quality, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting sealing performance.

We offer compatible sealing components and liners for all common Linatex pump sizes. These are available from stock and can be delivered anywhere in Europe or beyond.

Depending on the situation, we also support customers through:

  • Spare parts supply: For customers who handle maintenance in-house, we supply compatible liners and seals from stock. Fast and reliable.
  • On-site service: Our technicians maintain Linatex pumps directly at your site.
  • Off-site service: Prefer a full overhaul? Send your pump to our workshop and we will take care of the rest.




Result

The parts were delivered within days. Once installed, the pump returned to full capacity with no further leakage. The site avoided production loss and reported improved reliability after the reconditioning. Thanks to the quick response and quality of the components, no additional downtime occurred.


This plant restarted without setbacks, thanks to fast delivery and support that fits around their way of working.
