Pump Appreciation Day

Posted by & filed under Events.

Without pumps, factories can’t make the essential materials that support power and life.  Join Westcomm and ITT Goulds Pumps in celebrating pumps and those who keep them running on Pump Appreciation Day, a worldwide observance on April 14.

ITT Goulds Pumps Supports Heart Health

Without a heart, life stops.  Without an industrial pump, manufacturing stops.  Because pumps are the “Heart of the Industry”, Westcomm and ITT Goulds Pumps invite industrial pump users worldwide to participate in heart health events and activities.

  • Organize a company or community team to join a local heart walk fundraiser
  • Install an Automated External Defibrillator at your office or manufacturing facility, with training for key employees
  • Hold a CPR and first aid training with support from your local heart health organization
  • Plan a “Wear Red” evening or luncheon with a creative tasting menu of heart healthy foods

Pump Appreciation Day Events

Pump Appreciation Day will feature events to promote heart health and educate pump users around the world.  Those named to the Pulse of Industry Honor Roll will receive a special printable certificate commemorating the day.  Westcomm will recognize customers with the ITT Heart of Industry awards.

PumpSmart Monitors and Protects your Pumps – Cost Saving Monitoring Videos

Posted by & filed under Pump Knowledge.

Here’s an overview of PumpSmart’s ability to improve pump reliability and decrease energy costs

ProSmart’s predictive condition monitoring system enables you to identify and solve problems before they impact production.

PumpSmart monitors the suction conditions of your pump to protect against cavitation.  Cavitation Control improves overall pump reliability in low NPSH services that routinely cause pump failure

This video defines how PumpSmart is able to protect centrifugal pumps from minimum flow, deadhead and run-out flow conditions

PumpSmart is able to derive pump flow for any centrifugal pump without the use of sensors.

Thinking about managing the operation of multiple pumps?  Learn how PumpSmart balances the flow of each to avoid common reliability problems

The Goulds Pumps IC family of ISO chemical process pumps is designed in accordance with ISO 5199 and ISO 2858, making it ideal for worldwide chemical or industrial process application.  The IC Series includes 34 hydraulic sizes and features the patented i-ALERT condition monitor, which continuously measures vibration and temperature at the thrust bearing and automatically indicates when pre-set levels have been exceeded.
