In the process of production and operation, the normal operation of equipment is the cornerstone of a stable enterprise operation. However, when key equipment malfunctions, enterprises not only have to bear high maintenance costs, but some malfunctions also affect normal production and operation due to the long repair period, resulting in multiple losses.
Recently, we carried out factory return maintenance and reinstallation for multiple submersible sewage pumps in a certain park. Due to the severe damage to the equipment, the entire maintenance period lasted for several weeks. This serves as a reminder: equipment maintenance is crucial, and the establishment of a prevention mechanism is even more the key to ensuring the long-term stable operation of equipment.
Equipment Damage and Maintenance Disrupt Production and Operation
As key equipment for treating sewage and other liquids, submersible sewage pumps, once malfunctioning, may cause the shutdown of the entire production line, and even trigger a chain reaction that affects the operation of the entire system. The equipment undergoing maintenance this time suffered motor water ingress due to the aging of certain key components. However, the failure to pay timely attention led to more severe mechanical damage. This significantly prolonged the equipment repair cycle, forcing the suspension of operations in relevant areas and causing considerable losses.
Therefore, in the daily use of equipment, timely detection of problems and early maintenance can effectively reduce maintenance costs and minimize the impact of equipment malfunctions on production and operation.
How to prevent "minor issues" of equipment from turning into "major repairs"? Establishing a comprehensive protective early warning mechanism for equipment is an important means to ensure its stable operation.
AFP Series Submersible Sewage Pumps: Multiple Protections Ensure Safe Operation
As a star sewage disposal equipment of Bangpu, the AFP series submersible sewage pumps are designed with multiple protection mechanisms to reduce the risk of malfunctions and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
The AFP series submersible sewage pumps of Shanghai Bangpu adopt CFD technology for hydraulic optimization design, featuring excellent flow capacity, stable operation and non-clogging performance, which are widely used in municipal and industrial fields.
Double Mechanical Seal Design
The AFP series submersible sewage pumps adopt a two-stage mechanical seal design, where the primary and secondary mechanical seals complement each other to prevent media leakage along the pump shaft from affecting motor operation. This design effectively avoids corrosion, pollution and other problems that may be caused by media leakage, fundamentally reducing the risk of equipment damage.
Float Probe for Real-Time Water Leakage Monitoring
Float probes are installed in both the motor chamber and the junction box to monitor water leakage of the equipment in real time. Once abnormal oil/water levels are detected, the probes will transmit signals to the control cabinet to issue an early warning, prompting equipment managers to take emergency measures. This protective design enables timely maintenance before further equipment damage occurs, avoiding more extensive damage and production interruption.
Temperature-Sensing Element with High-Temperature Alarm Function
Multiple series-connected temperature-sensing elements are installed inside the motor stator to monitor the motor temperature in real time. Once the temperature exceeds the set value, the temperature-sensing elements will immediately transmit signals to the control cabinet for an alarm, prompting timely operation to prevent severe equipment damage.
Through the above three major protective designs, the AFP series submersible sewage pumps achieve all-round protection for equipment operation. In practical use, the multiple protection mechanisms work together to maximize the stability and safety of the equipment, ensuring the normal production operation of enterprises.
Prevention is Better Than Cure: Prevention is More "Cost-Effective" Than Maintenance
Preventive protection of equipment is far more efficient and economical than maintenance after equipment malfunctions occur. By establishing a sound protective early warning mechanism, owners can receive early warnings when potential problems arise in equipment, and take measures to avoid malfunctions instead of waiting for severe problems to occur before conducting maintenance. This not only reduces downtime, but also effectively saves maintenance costs and extends the service life of equipment.
Just like the design concept of the AFP series submersible sewage pumps, "prevention first and forestalling troubles before they occur" should also be taken as the primary principle in equipment management. Regular equipment inspections, installation of efficient protection systems, and monitoring of equipment operation status can all help improve equipment stability to a certain extent and avoid production interruption caused by equipment malfunctions.
