Pump Repair For Potato Processing Plant Saves £420K In Downtime Costs – CS172

The Situation

A potato processing facility in Norfolk had a Varisco pump that had failed. The failure had put a stop to production on the line, and the OEM had quoted the on-site maintenance team with a twelve-week lead time. A call was made to the HAYLEY DEXIS branch in Norwich for assistance.

The Solution

It soon became clear that a like-for-like new unit would only be available with a lengthy delay due to delivery timescales. The quoted cost was £5370. The team at HAYLEY DEXIS in Norwich quickly arranged for the failed pump to be collected from site and taken to the HAYLEY 247 DEXIS engineering centre. Here, the asset was stripped, inspected and a report was generated and shared with the customer.

"AN ESTIMATED £420K WORTH OF LOST INCOME WAS PREVENTED THANKS TO THE SHORTENED DOWNTIME SUFFERED"

The Result

The cost of the repair by HAYLEY 247 DEXIS was around fifty percent of the price quoted for a new pump, making it the economical choice for the customer.

Thanks to the round-the-clock service provided by HAYLEY 247 DEXIS the potato processing facility had a working, reliable pump asset returned to them just over twenty-four hours after the breakdown had been reported to the HAYLEY DEXIS Norwich team. It is estimated that this prevented £420,000 of lost income, due to the significantly reduced downtime experienced.
