Core values
Solutions First
I always start with understanding the nature of your business and the problems you have to manage. The right solution might not even involve buying any new equipment - and I will tell you that honestly.
Independence
I am not tied to any brand, distributor or manufacturer. My loyalty lies with you and the needs of YOUR business.
Knowledge Sharing
I believe in educating my clients. The more you understand about your pumps and how your liquid products affect them, the better decisions you can make and the less vulnerable you will be to bad advice.
Long - Term Relationships
I'm not here for quick sales. I want to be your trusted pump advisor for years to come, helping you optimise and maintain your systems as you grow.
Practical Expertise
Real-world experience with a variety of tricky applications, unusual liquids and custom setups. There are always options and I will help you navigate these complex challenges.
Efficiency Focused
Your time is valuable. I get to the bottom of things quickly, provide recommendations and help you make confident decisions without endless back and forth and second guessing.
Case Studies
Background:
This manufacturer originally used internal gear pumps for their bead mills. Because paint contains abrasive pigments, the pumps wore out quickly and seals were constantly failing – needing costly replacements several times a year.
Outcome:
Suggested they switch over to seal-less air-operated diaphragm pumps. These were not only more durable but also cheaper to run and cost less than half the price. They haven’t needed to replace a single pump in over 3 years.
Background:
A family owned plant built in the 1980s by an overseas team left the current family members with almost no knowledge of what pumps were being used or the performance specs of what they were supposed to be doing. Units were only known as “Tank 3 pump” or “Boiler feed pump 2.” Getting spares involved emailing Asia and waiting 6–12 weeks. For many of the pumps, even those with local representation, the original manufacturers “couldn’t help as the pumps were not sourced from SA.”
Outcome:
After one on-site visit, I helped them identify their major pumps and introduced a basic inventory and asset management system. They now know what they’re working with and can source compatible spares or equivalent replacements locally – saving time, money and bringing peace of mind should things go wrong.
Background:
A husband-and-wife team used a small tank mixer from China to make wax-based cosmetic products. When the discharge pump wore out and eventually failed, they contacted 5+ companies and none could help.
Outcome:
After a quick visit and some simple measurements, we identified what kind of pump it was, taught them about the abrasive properties of wax and helped them source a better replacement with improved wear resistance.
Background:
This business services large industrial generators. After buying replacement oil circulation pumps from an auction, they installed them – but the motors kept tripping. The pumps were getting very hot and failing immediately.
Outcome:
We discovered they had installed 1.5” pumps into a ¾” line. The pumps were emptying the tank too fast, starving the system. We replaced them with correctly sized ¾” pumps – at a third of the cost – and the unit’s been running perfectly ever since.
Background:
A business moving reclaimed/dirty oil was happy with their pumps – until wear and rising costs became a problem. The pumps were only lasting 6 months due to sediment damage.
Outcome:
After a quick phone call we suggested adding a strainer and filter before the pump to catch the majority of the abrasive particles along with slowing down the pumps rpm’s. The new setup extended pump life from 6 months to over a year, reducing maintenance costs significantly.
