Blacoh Summersault Into Fall Sales Competition

Blacoh Summersault Into Fall Sales Competition

August 9th was the day of the first drawing for the winners of the Blacoh “Summersault into Fall” sales competition. The Lucky winners, Johnathan Herlong – industrial sales engineer and Nancy Wilson – sales support staff, of Chesapeake, VA, get to split the $200 prize provided by Blacoh for participating in the raffle. The winners were picked at random and announced by video on Youtube by Vicki Oliver corporate receptionist.

When asked about the sales competition winner Nancy Wilson said, “ I know people are motivated by money, especially when there is a competition and it’s fun. It builds comradery. A lot of people have called to congratulate me.” The next raffle drawing will take place August 23rd for a $100 gift card.

Tencarva Impeller Balancing

Tencarva Impeller Balancing

Tencarva repair facilities are equipped with the latest balancing technology and factory trained technicians. We use Balance Master Easy Balance software. Capabilities of our equipment include up to 5000 lbs, 72 inch diameter and 12 feet in length. All impellers, multiple stages assemblies’, blower rotors and fans are balanced to customer specifications, in most cases well above the original equipment manufacturers specifications. Tighter balance tolerances can significantly reduce vibration levels that should dramatically reduce premature bearing and ring wear. This should substantially increase the mean time between repairs of the pump.

PC Pumps Solving Wastewater Problems

PC Pumps Solving Wastewater Problems

Blockages and failures occur more often with some pump types, but for many of today’s water operators, there is a solution. Here, we take a look at how progressive cavity (PC) pumps are solving some of the water industry’s key pumping challenges.

Pumps are integral to the successful operation of wastewater treatment works (WwTW). Whether moving untreated water, transferring dewatered sludge or metering chemicals, the pumps in use at WwTW need to be easy to monitor, robust, reliable and able to handle a variety of materials. But not all pumps are the same.

Blockages and failures occur more often with some pump types, and with water companies delivering efficiency savings that have resulted in more unmanned sites, the discovery of process problems can be delayed, sometimes resulting in pump downtime. For many of today’s water operators, there is a solution. Here, we take a look at how progressive cavity (PC) pumps are solving some of the water industry’s key pumping challenges.

Monitoring and maintenance

Many of today’s WwTW were originally designed to be manually supervised by on-site operatives who checked for blockages, process or equipment problems and corrected them in a timely manner. Due to partial process automation, many sites are now unmanned, with maintenance planned at specific intervals.

When unforeseen problems occur, such as pump blockages due to ragging, or lack of suction lift due to grit contamination causing excessive pump wear, a maintenance team has to be despatched to rectify the issue. However, some PC pumps, such as SEEPEX’s Smart Conveying Technology (SCT) range, can be remotely monitored, making it easier for problems to be anticipated and enabling predictive maintenance.

For example, the use of variable frequency drives (VFD) and the ability to monitor speed means operators can foresee when maintenance will be required. As the pump stator wears, the pump speed increases; once this is identified, the SCT pump can be very quickly adjusted to match its original capacity, keeping efficiency high and providing more time to plan for maintenance.

Tencarva Branch Relocates to Larger Facility in Greenville, SC

Tencarva Branch Relocates to Larger Facility in Greenville, SC

GREENVILLE, SC. — The Greenville, S.C., Branch Office of Tencarva Machinery Company officially relocated recently to a larger facility at 14 Park Place Court in Greenville, SC, after the completion of renovation of an existing building, according to Edwin W. Pearce, III, president of Tencarva.

Don Jackson, Tencarva regional manager in Greenville, points out, “The hope for Greenville is to grow our sales for both new equipment and repair/service. This facility will allow Tencarva to keep enlarging its footprint and market share of this business.”

The renovation, performed by Bonitz contracting firm, encompasses approximately 10,000 square feet, with renovation primarily in the repair shop area, where a shop office, clean room and shop bathroom were added. The new facility provides more sales offices, an enhanced conference/training room and a larger breakroom, among other benefits. The space was leased from J & J Rose Enterprises LLC.

Tencarva Machinery is No. 44 on Industrial Distribution‘s 2015 Big 50 List.

Jackson explains, “The new office enhances both the sales office and shop capabilities tremendously. For the shop, we have 7,500 square feet, as opposed to 1,400 square feet. This gives us the space to bring in much larger equipment (such as vertical turbines).”

New features include a drive-in dock with two five-ton cranes for off-loading; two dock-height docks for shipping and receiving; and much larger teardown, inspection, staging and assembly areas. With a new balancing machine in house, the Tencarva team will be able to perform impeller balance in the repair shop. Four large work stations are available for tear down and assembly with two two-ton cranes to assist.

Jackson points out, “This shop is set up to provide service and repair for the state of South Carolina and North Georgia customers (both industrially and municipally), as well as any overflow from other shops if necessary.”

Tencarva has 354 employees at 23 branches in eight states, including Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, and field representatives in Kentucky, Ohio and southern Indiana.
