Pump, Blower & Vacuum Repair

Repair, Rebuild or Replace? Start With an Inspection

When a pump, blower, vacuum system or compressor develops a problem, we can help you evaluate the next step. Our services include equipment inspection, shop and on-site repairs, rebuild support and selected compressor airend exchange options. Tell us your equipment model, location, symptoms and operating requirements so we can discuss the appropriate repair approach and current service availability.


Airend Exchange Program

Reliability, performance and availability are the main reasons customers prefer the Process & Power Rotary Compressor Airend Exchange Program. This program supports oil-flooded & oil-free rotary screw compressors.

An airend exchange may be an option when a rotary compressor needs major repair. Compare the available assembly, installation requirements, downtime and total quoted cost before choosing an approach. The options below depend on the exact compressor and current availability; confirm compatibility, core-return terms and written warranty coverage with our team.
  1. New Airend - 24-hour lead time for production items, credit for core return

  2. Remanufactured Airend - short lead time, credit for core return

  3. Airend Rebuild Kit* - rebuild in field, extends downtime

* Not an option for CD airends.


Centrifugal Rotor Clean & Balance

Benefits Include

  • Prevents premature failure of the pinion and bearings

  • Keeps your compressor at peak performance

  • Allows you to continue use of your original rotor assemblies for an indefinite amount of time

The rotating assembly is one of the most critical components of your Centac air compressor. If it out of balance, your compressor will not perform to it's full potential. With normal operation of a compressor, your rotating assembly will attract a buildup of solids on the induction side of the impeller. This buildup can result in an increase in vibration on the individual stages of the compressor. The amount of acceptable vibration varies among models of compressors, however, the pinion vibration increases the probability of nuisance trips or premature failure of the pinion and bearings increases. Failures of this type can be very costly if replacement of the part is required.

To keep your compressor performing at it's full potential, Process & Power offers cleaning and balancing. By taking advantage of this OEM repair service during routine maintenance, Centac owners can continue to use their original rotor assemblies for an indefinite period of time.

Bell & Gossett 1510 Cooling Tower Pump Repair

DENSO sent a Bell & Gossett 1510 cooling tower pump to us after experiencing a leaking seal. Inspection identified a cracked mechanical seal face, shaft sleeve wear and bearing wear. Our team replaced the damaged shaft sleeve and mechanical seal, along with the inboard and outboard bearings, volute gasket, shaft keys, washers and gaskets. The pump passed pressure testing after the repair.

Pump, Blower & Vacuum Repair FAQ

What equipment does this repair service cover?

Process & Power supports pumps, blowers, vacuum systems, and other rotating equipment. This page also includes rotary compressor airend options and centrifugal rotor cleaning and balancing.

Can you repair equipment at our facility?

On-site support is available for suitable work, including diagnostics and pump removal or replacement. Some repairs require shop equipment or disassembly; the appropriate approach depends on condition and access.

Do you offer shop repairs and rebuilds?

Yes. Process & Power offers bench repairs and rebuild support. Provide the equipment identification and symptoms so the team can discuss inspection, transport, repair scope, and the information needed for an estimate.

What are common signs a pump needs attention?

Leaks, unusual noise, vibration, reduced flow, overheating, and repeated trips deserve investigation. Record when the symptoms occur and any recent process changes before assuming the pump itself is the only cause.

What can cause a blower to lose performance?

Restrictions, leaks, worn components, drive problems, or changed process conditions can reduce performance. Compare pressure, flow, temperature, and operating load with the machine's normal readings to guide the investigation.

Why is my vacuum system taking longer to reach its target?

Possible causes include leaks, restricted inlet components, pump wear, or a changed process load. The pump and connected system should be evaluated together rather than sizing a replacement from symptoms alone.

Should I repair or replace rotating equipment?

Compare inspection findings, repair cost, parts availability, downtime, and how well the machine meets current demand. A repair may restore performance, while a changed application may justify a different selection.

Can you investigate repeated seal or bearing failures?

Yes, discuss a diagnostic review rather than simply repeating the same repair. Operating conditions, lubrication, alignment, contamination, and installation issues may need attention to prevent a new component from failing similarly.

Are emergency repairs available?

Contact Process & Power at (901) 362-5500 for urgent repair needs. Describe the production impact, equipment, and location so the team can assess service availability and possible temporary equipment options.

Can rental equipment keep production running during repairs?

A compatible rental may help bridge downtime. The page lists pump and vacuum rental capabilities; available equipment must be checked against the fluid or gas, capacity, pressure, and installation requirements.

What is a rotary compressor airend exchange?

An exchange replaces the compressor's airend with an eligible new or remanufactured assembly. Compatibility, core-return requirements, delivery timing, and installation scope must be confirmed for the exact machine.

What airend repair options are available?

The page describes new airends, remanufactured airends, and rebuild-kit options where applicable. The right choice depends on the compressor, damage, parts availability, and acceptable downtime; not every option fits every model.

Are airend lead times and warranties the same for every repair?

No. Request current availability and written warranty terms for the proposed assembly and maintenance arrangement. Older published examples should not be treated as a guaranteed turnaround or blanket coverage.

What is centrifugal rotor cleaning and balancing?

It addresses deposits and imbalance in suitable rotating assemblies. Inspection determines whether cleaning and balancing are sufficient or whether wear, damage, or another condition requires additional repair work.

Can you help with engineered pump or blower packages?

Yes. Engineered packages and installation services are listed on the page. Share the process requirements, utilities, footprint, controls, and service-access needs so the scope can be defined around the application.

What should I send when requesting a repair quote?

Send model and serial numbers, nameplate photos, operating conditions, symptoms, and repair history. For process equipment, identify the handled material and discuss cleaning or handling requirements before arranging delivery.
