Innovative Centrifugal Industrial Pumps

MP Pumps brings more than a half century of experience in the design and manufacture of centrifugal pumps to each new project. The company’s engineers use state-of-the-art solid modeling software, design for manufacturing techniques and fast prototype capability to move rapidly from initial concept to first production. MP Pumps’ engineers are accustomed to working with a wide range of materials. Commonly used materials include bronze, ductile iron, aluminum, cast iron and stainless steel.

A strong research and development program is fundamental to innovation. At MP Pumps, innovative muscle derives from a highly trained and experienced research staff backed by a fully equipped laboratory for conducting rigorous performance and endurance testing. Typically, development projects range from endurance testing of new seal materials to performance testing of custom housing geometries. Prototypes are frequently subjected to elevated ambient conditions to simulate actual operating environments and gain more reliable data. Laboratory facilities include dynamometers ranging from 3 to 125 horsepower, two test cells for measuring impeller radial and thrust loads and provision for testing self-priming pumps up to 25 feet of static lift.

At MP Pumps, quality is designed into every component and every pump built. From concept, through development and on into production, the focus is to provide durable and reliable products that satisfy every customer requirement. Quality is monitored throughout the production process using state-of-the-art gauging systems. Critical points on every production unit receive 100% inspection. All gauges and inspection instruments are calibrated to meet MIL-STD-45662 and we conform to MIL-I-45208 inspection system standards when necessary. For nearly two decades, MP Pumps’ coordinate measuring machine (CMM) has had an integral role in the quality program. This highly accurate and versatile tool helps to establish and monitor production quality standards. The emphasis on quality is recognized by international standards agencies. Milestones include:

• American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Certification for select models.

• ISO 9001- 2000 certification

• ISO 14001- 2004 certification
