At the heart of a municipal water supply system, drawing oil from the bottom of the ocean or moving aggressive fluids in chemical plants – modern society counts on reliable and efficient pumping systems.
The development of industrial pumps is towards a reduction in the total cost of ownership and the need to comply with increasingly tougher environmental legislation. The challenge for pump manufacturers is to increase meantime between failures and at the same time reduce energy consumption to meet industry standards, as energy costs account for 45% of total pump ownership cost.
As the world’s leading supplier of bearings and engineering solutions to the pump industry, SKF works in close cooperation with leading manufacturers. SKF offers everything from innovative engineering services in the design process to monitoring systems and maintenance-free solutions promoting reliable operation in remote, hard-to-access locations. |
