Understanding How to Mitigate the Most Significant Elements of the TCO Equation
You’ve selected the right pump. You’ve installed it and trained your staff on proper maintenance practices and schedules. Now, you’re facing the last question from plant management.
- How do I improve my new pump’s Total Cost of Ownership?
There are a wide variety of factors when selecting a pump for your processing line. Certainly, specs and price play a role, but too often, TCO, Total Cost of Ownership, is left to the back end of the discussion when it really should be moved to the front of any pump selection decision.
In this white paper, we take a closer look at factors that improve TCO, including:
- Sizing the Pump Correctly
- Ease of Disassembly and Cleaning
- Front Cover Differentiators
- Shaft Length and Diameters
- Rotor Bolts vs. Shim Rings
- Component Minimalization
