Reverse Engineering a Pump Base Plate

Industry: General Industrial / Maintenance & Repair
Component: Long-Coupled End Suction Pump & Motor Assembly
Challenge: Severely Damaged Base Plate

At HAYLEY 247 DEXIS, we pride ourselves on our ability to tackle breakdowns and equipment damage with speed, precision, and ingenuity. One recent project involved the urgent repair of a long-coupled end suction pump and motor assembly – received with a severely damaged base plate that was beyond salvage.

THE CHALLENGE

After stripping down the assembly, it became immediately clear that the original cast base plate could not be repaired. Without a direct replacement readily available, the client faced costly delays and extended downtime. That’s where our reverse engineering capabilities came into action.

THE SOLUTION

Our skilled team quickly set to work, reverse-engineering the damaged component and designing a precision-machined fabricated replacement. The new base plate was tailored exactly to the customer’s pump and motor requirements – ensuring a perfect fit, improved durability, and minimal disruption to operations. This approach eliminated the need for long lead times or sourcing obsolete parts, getting the customer back up and running in record time.

THE RESULT

  • A fully fabricated and machined base plate, engineered to exact specifications
  • Zero need for OEM replacement parts
  • Faster turnaround and improved structural integrity
  • A successful example of how reverse engineering and practical problem-solving go hand in hand at HAYLEY 247 DEXIS
