It is very important to have the complete data necessary for an application, since in the design of the selection of a pump it is handled as an exact science and not having or assuming a data can cause problems for the client during the process, such as high consumption of spare parts and maintenance, high energy consumption, lack of flow or low dynamic load. Dynapro does not work on direct replacement of pumps, since we could drag previous selection problems and only with complete and correct data can we reach the solution of root problems.

Yes, with the fluid data we can propose the best material that suits the process and thus prolong the life of your pump.

Yes, in addition to our own pump lines, we can offer 100% interchangeable parts with other OEM brands. For more information, contact one of our service engineers, we are sure we can give you the help you need.

We manufacture our own pumps so we only sell Dynapro pumps.

We handle spare parts, 100% interchangeable with OEMs because the same plants that supply our parts are the same as those that have produced for other OEMs. Our advantage is in the direct sale of these high-quality spare parts. In addition to having a warehouse for spare parts in both Mexico and Canada, we also have distributors throughout North America. Our stock is readily available for our clients. On request, we dedicate stock to your critical applications.

The mechanical seals that Dynapro handles are of high quality and robust, actually 90% of the failures in mechanical seals are due to operation and maintenance problems, with our advice we are sure your seals can achieve a long useful life and that they are a solution efficient and not a problem.

No. We manufacture pumps so motors are only priced with one pump.

Our pumps can be quoted with or without motor, it depends on the client's request.

Some of our pumps are 100% interchangeable with other brands, so depending on the pump model, we can quote the replacement parts.

No. They’re not dimensionally the same. Although, the hydraulic of the pumps are identical, which means their performance is exactly the same.

The standard material for the Interchangeable Denver SRL is carbon steel for the shaft sleeve, lantern ring, and packing gland, whereas the standard material for the Dynapro SRL is 420SS for the shaft sleeve, and 316SS for the lantern ring & packing gland. This helps us start with a higher quality construction standard material, increasing the wear-life of your pumps.

Yes, we can analyze your process and fluid to offer the appropriate solution with the mechanical seal , which can be dry, semi dry or handle an API plan depending on the case that applies.

Yes, our mechanical seals are of high quality and can give a high durability equal to or greater than the seals you know.

It is extremely important to know the points where the pump is to be operated in order to make the proper selection between these different points. It is not advisable to operate a pump at different points without making sure you are using it with the correct parameters. Dynapro has self-priming and internal combustion engine pump options as well as the appropriate engineering equipment to determine if your application is suitable for these pumps.

Our liners are 100% compatible and hunt correctly with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) brands, however, it is necessary to determine if the bombs are correctly assembled. It is common to see in the field that casings or covers that fit the screws are changed. With this, the liners would no longer be correct for those new pieces. In the case of marketers, normally their liners do not come from the OEM factory like ours, so it is common to see fit problems.

The most important factor is determining whether the pump has been correctly selected for your application. If the selection is adequate, we must analyze the operating and maintenance conditions that usually contribute to the detriment of the flow required in a system. If you have flow problems with our - or any - pumping equipment, contact our engineers and we will help you determine where the problem is.

There are many reasons why a pump may be cavitating, from poor purge or prime to poor NPSH. In order to solve this problem, it is important to know the conditions under which the equipment is working. The problem of cavitation in a pump is a very extensive and recurring topic. If you need to solve a cavitation problem, you can contact our service engineers to study your case.

Depending on the desired increase or decrease, you can choose from a change in speed, a larger or smaller impeller diameter, to a motor change. With an adequate engineering analysis, we can determine which is the most optimal and profitable way to make these modifications.

There are many factors that influence the lifespan of pumping equipment. A correct selection, a correct operation and a correct maintenance. Depending on the application, some factors that tend to have an important influence on the duration of the equipment are the factors of speed, materials, and design. Our engineers previously study the application, looking for the best operating point to be able to provide the equipment with a long-lasting option. A simple speed factor can give us the opportunity to provide a choice of equipment that will make its parts last 3 times longer.

We can considerably reduce the dilution by seal water, using mechanical seals, at Dynapro we handle dry and semi-dry seals, which can be the option to reduce the dilution of the process from 99 to 100%

Generally, bearing failures are related to installation, inadequate lubrication or excessive vibrations in the equipment.

If this occurs at the beginning of the equipment use, it is probably due to an incorrect selection regarding the dynamic load. If the over-amperage occurs after it has been operating correctly, it is possible that some change in dynamic load has arisen. If not, it may be due to fouling in the discharge pipes or physical and chemical changes in the fluid.

Bushing problems are often related to equipment lubrication. To solve this, it is necessary to check that a correct lubrication is being applied. Also, it is important to determine if the correct bushing is being used for the equipment.

If you're pumping copper concentrate, you should consider using high-chrome alloys, rubber, or polyurethane for the internal pump materials. High-chrome alloys are the best choice for severe abrasion and corrosion resistance. Rubber is the best choice for moderate abrasion and corrosion resistance. Polyurethane is the best choice for light abrasion and corrosion resistance.

For carbon transfer without damaging the carbon, you should select a centrifugal slurry pump with a non-clogging impeller. This type of impeller is designed to reduce the risk of the carbon particles becoming clogged in the pump and causing damage. Additionally, it is important to select a pump with a high-quality volute and casing that has been designed to withstand the abrasive nature of the carbon particles.

If the tank level feeding the slurry pump is low, the pump will not be able to draw material from the tank and will become starved for material. This can cause the pump to cavitate, leading to issues with performance and potential damage to the pump.

When selecting a centrifugal slurry pump, a few key factors to consider include the type and size of the pump, the flow rate, the pressure of the fluid, the power requirements, the type of material being pumped, the media density, and the temperature of the fluid. Additionally, it is important to consider the overall cost of the pump, whether it is suitable for the application, the ease of maintenance, and the availability of spare parts.

1. Ensure that the pump is properly lubricated.
2. Inspect the impellers for signs of wear and tear.
3. Inspect the motor for any signs of overheating or other damage.
4. Check the pump's suction and discharge pressures.
5. Check the pump's flow rate.
6. Measure the vibration of the motor and pump.
7. Inspect the seals of the pump for any damage or wear and tear.
8. Check the temperature of the pump and motor.
9. Inspect the entire pump system for any signs of leakage.
10. Inspect the piping for any signs of corrosion.

The steps for installing a mechanical seal on a slurry pump are as follows:
1. Make sure the pump is empty and free of any residual slurry.
2. Remove the old seal and clean the area where the new seal will be installed.
3. Install the new seal, making sure that all components are properly aligned.
4. Insert the seal into the pump, and make sure that it is fully seated.
5. Secure the seal in place with screws or bolts.
6. Tighten the screws or bolts to the appropriate torque.
7. Re-fill the pump with the appropriate slurry and turn on the pump.
8. Check for any leaks or other issues, and make adjustments as necessary.

API Plan 11 is the best suited for keeping particles away from a mechanical seal in a slurry pump system. It utilizes a double mechanical seal, with the primary seal mounted externally so that it is covered in a pressurized barrier fluid. This pressurized barrier fluid helps to keep particles away from the primary seal, extending its life and preventing any leakage.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) plans most commonly used for mechanical seals in slurry applications are API 610 and API 682. API 610 is a general purpose plan that covers both centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, while API 682 is specifically for centrifugal pumps. Both plans require the mechanical seal to be located outside the pump's stuffing box, and provide guidelines for seal selection, installation, and maintenance.

API flush plans are a way of ensuring that the mechanical seal remains lubricated and clean in slurry applications. The best API flush plans for slurry applications typically include a flush line, a pressurized source of clean liquid, and a separate drain line. The clean liquid is used to flush away abrasive solids and debris, and the drain line is used to remove the used flush liquid.

Cavitation is the formation and collapse, of vapor bubbles in a liquid. It can cause a great deal of damage to a pump and its components.
How can you detect cavitation?
There are a few ways to detect cavitation. One is to look for changes in the pump's noise level. Another is to look for changes in the pump's vibration levels.
What do you do once you've detected cavitation?
If cavitation is detected, it is important to take steps to correct the problem. This may include adjusting the pump's speed, changing the pump's operating point, or adding a cavitation inhibitor to the liquid.
How do you identify what's causing cavitation?
There are a few things that can cause cavitation. One is the pump's operating point. Another is the liquid's properties.
What do pump parts with cavitation damage look like? Cavitation damage can be quite severe. It can cause pitting and erosion of the pump's components.
How does cavitation affect energy consumption?
Cavitation can cause a significant increase in a pump's energy consumption.

The net positive suction head (NPSH) is the difference between the total head and the vapor pressure head.
Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) is a term used in engineering to define the head available to a pump at the suction point. The NPSH available to a pump is the difference between the total head and the vapor pressure head. The total head is made up of the static head, the frictional head, and the velocity head. The pressure that the vapor in the liquid exerts is known as the vapor pressure head. If the vapor pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure, then the vapor pressure head will be negative.
The NPSH required by a pump is the minimum NPSH available to the pump at the operating point. The operating point is the point at which the pump is running at its rated speed and producing its rated flow. If the NPSH available at the operating point is less than the NPSH required by the pump, then the pump will cavitate. Cavitation is the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in a liquid. When the vapor bubbles collapse, they create a shock wave that can damage the pump.
There are three factors that affect the NPSH available to a pump: the pump design, the operating conditions, and the characteristics of the liquid. The pump design is the most important factor. The NPSH available to a pump is a function of the pump's design and the characteristics of the liquid. The operating conditions of a pump change the total head and the vapor pressure head, which in turn changes the NPSH. The liquid's properties change the vapor pressure head, which in turn changes the NPSH that a pump can use.
A pump's NPSH can be raised by either raising the total head or lowering the vapor pressure head. The total head can be increased by increasing the static head, the frictional head, or the velocity head. The vapor pressure head can be decreased by increasing the atmospheric pressure or by decreasing the vapor pressure. The NPSH available to a pump can also be increased by using a pump with a higher design NPSH.
To lower the NPSH a pump needs, you can either lower the total head or raise the vapor pressure head. Decreases in the static head, frictional head, or velocity head can all reduce the total head. The vapor pressure head can be increased by decreasing the atmospheric pressure or by increasing the vapor pressure. The NPSH required by a pump can also be decreased by using a pump with a lower design NPSH.
The NPSH available to a pump and the NPSH required by a pump are both important factors in the selection of a pump. The NPSH available to a pump should be greater than the NPSH required by the pump. If the NPSH available to a pump is less than the NPSH required by the pump, then the pump will cavitate.

The best way to check pump settings is to consult the manufacturer’s manual for the specific pump system. The manual will provide information on the correct settings for the pump, as well as instructions for how to adjust the settings if needed. Additionally, a qualified technician should be consulted to ensure that the pump settings are correctly adjusted and that the system is operating safely and efficiently.

The best way to check the pressure in an industrial pump system is to use a pressure gauge. If your pump system has a pressure relief valve, it may also be equipped with a pressure gauge. If not, you can purchase a pressure gauge and attach it to the pressure relief valve. Make sure to use a gauge that is rated for the type of pressure you are expecting.

To ensure optimal performance, preventative maintenance should be performed on slurry pump systems at regular intervals. This includes inspecting and replacing parts such as seals, bearings, impellers, and shafts, as well as regularly checking the fluid levels, suction and discharge pressures, and vibration levels of the pump. Additionally, the system should be monitored for changes in performance that could indicate a need for maintenance or repairs.

If the liquid has a pH range of 3-7, then you should consider using internal pump materials such as stainless steel, plastic, rubber, polyurethane, and ceramic. Stainless steel is the most common choice for most applications, but plastic, rubber, and ceramic can also be used depending on the specific application.

1. Overload: When the pump is overloaded, it can cause the motor to trip and shut off, resulting in a power failure. 2. Electrical Fault: Issues with wiring, circuit breakers, or other electrical components can cause power failures in industrial pump systems. 3. Clogged Pump Intake: If the pump intake is blocked or clogged, it can cause the pump to become overloaded and trip, resulting in a power failure. 4. Air Lock: An air lock in the system can cause a power failure. This happens when air gets stuck in the system and stops the pump from working as it should. 5. Low voltage: Low voltage can cause the motor to run slowly and eventually trip, leading to a power failure. 6. Mechanical Issues: Malfunctioning or worn-out mechanical components can lead to power failures in industrial pump systems.

1. Poor maintenance: Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to the buildup of contaminants, such as sludge, which can clog or wear out the impeller. 2. Incompatible materials: Using the wrong materials for the impeller or its housing can lead to premature wear or clogging. 3. Overloading: Excessive pressure or flow can cause the impeller to wear out prematurely or become clogged. 4. Improper installation: Improper installation can cause the impeller to be out of place, which can cause it to wear out too quickly or get clogged. 5. Corrosion: Excessive corrosion can cause the impeller to become pitted or clogged. Video: Click Here

1. Insufficient pipe size: If the pipe size is too small, the fluid velocity will be too high, resulting in reduced pressure at the pump intake, which can cause cavitation. 2. Excessive friction losses: If the pipe is too long or has too many bends or turns, the energy losses due to friction will be too high and the pump will not be able to create enough suction. 3. Air pockets in the pipe: If there are air pockets in the pipe, the air can cause a vacuum and prevent the liquid from flowing properly. 4. Poor installation: If the piping is not installed correctly, it can lead to improper suction. 5. Poor maintenance: If the piping is not properly maintained, it can become blocked or corroded, which can also lead to improper suction. Video: Click Here
